back in bangkok

i have just spent a fantastic 5 or 6 days lolling on a beach in paradise. not much to report there really apart from "i sat on the beach and ate lush food" which was exactly what the doctor ordered. shame i won't get to show you any photos of it as on my first night back in bangkok i was robbed of my camera and mobile phone. how on earth it happened i don't know, my bag is pretty secure and i didn't notice anything untoward. it's a massive pain in the arse as whilst i have insurance it will take 2 months for them to get the money to me so i've had to dip into some non-travelling money to buy a new bloody camera. and i've been used to having two 4gig memory cards and now i'm reduced to 1 measly gigabyte of storage :( very angry david....

now i don't know what to do next. part of me really wants to come home to the uk as i have been homesick for as long as i can remember now and this has just added to that. part of me wants to go back to india to get away from all the bloody travellers - harriet in singapore said that from the second i got off the plane at bangkok i would join a conveyor belt of travellers and i wouldn't get off it until i landed back in india - and she was so right! david and davina are in chiang mai which was kind of on my list so i might go and see them tomorrow after lunch with taj and cass (my warcraft friends) for a couple of days before coming back to bangkok to meet jaclyn and karen on the 19th. i have a flight booked to singapore on the 21st and i need to sort out a flight back to india from there.

i really want to go to kolkata next but that will mean an extra day in singapore which i don't know if i can be arsed with - once i leave thailand i want to be back in india asap - and the only regular flights seem to be to chennai. i guess that will be ok as i wanted to do the 30 hour chennai > kolkata train anyways. oh well, i guess as always i'll just see what happens!

going to spend today going around the sights i went around before koh tao so i can re-take all the bloody photos i've lost. what an arse :(
