Bangkok

Here we are it is Christmas in bangkok! It is very hot and humid. The heat of the day is between 11am and 3pm and then cools down quite quickly. So far we have seen many (many) temples full of golden idols. The best was Wat Pho becasue we had a fantastic thai massage - think we will probably go back for another! We have seen a thai boxing fight which was great - very loud and it looked quite brutal. David decided not to join in! We have encountered tuc tuc drivers and now we don't trust a word they say! If anyone says somewhere is closed we have learnt to ignore them and do what we want. But most thai people are really nice - eager to give directions even if they don't understand where you want to go. We are now off to a night market and maybe see some ladyboys.

It's a shame it's so humid for you. It is only 84 degrees in the shade back here in Histon. We had Christmas dinner on the patio. Dave C is over at ours today sat in his shorts sipping an ice cold lager with Sarah & Emily fanning him to keep him extra cool. Glad your having an okay time with not much to keep you occupied. You can keep your boxing and lady boys were watching our rabbit pole dance. Will let you know the Histon - Cam/*~Utd result asap.
Love you both be in touch soon, from the Smiths,Grandma (super Wii champion) & David C!!!! XXXX
