Now i know i moaned when it was raining and I dont want to sound like I'm complaining about the weather like a typical Brit but I am and oh my god its so fucking hot over here. When I first got off the plan I was hoping the heat I could feel was coming from the plane engines. Turned out it wasn't but the airport was air conditioned so it wasn't until I stepped outside which felt more like stepping inside an oven that it hit me like a slap in the face with a hair dryer. Think I must have sweated about a stone of weight off just wandering around Bangkok looking for somwhere to stay. First night I ended up in a single room (with air conditioning thank god) and was asleep by 10pm.

Yesterday I met up with Emma whos been over here for a week visting her friend. We did the sight seeing thing in the day and went to the night market in the evening on a Tuk Tuk. Did some haggling with the locals but probably still got ripped off. Bought some "oakley" sunglasses, a new belt and new T-shirt after I had thoroughly soaked the one I was wearing with sweat all day (nice!). Its now half 8 in the morning and supposed to be meeting my brother today aswell as seeing a few more sights with Emma.

Well like i said to Luke, drink plenty water (bottled) you will get used to the heat but stay out of it. Looking on the worldwide weather stats in paper you are in the warmest place on earth at moment, congratulations. U V higher than anywhere it says......
