Thailand Blog
(In 2007 my family and I spent two months living on the beautiful island of Koh Samui in Thailand. While there, we avoided writing generic “one size fits all” emails to our friends by posting, instead, “one size fits all” blog entries onto a site we created, and hid from Google. I feel the statute of limitations has now passed, so here are the entries re-published for the world to see….)
It alarms me that Parts 1 & 2 of the Blog took around 6000 words to cover the first 18 hours. And we have two days to go. By the time I’m done we’ll have about 20 000 words, only vaguely relevant or interesting to those of you who have met us and pretty dull for everyone else. Well, let’s be honest, perhaps partially dull even if you do know us. Anyway, you’re now reading this entry so, welcome to Part 3.
Perhaps more alarming than the volume of words is that I realised last night that I had left out two tiny pieces of information that need to be recorded.

Part 1 – In which the boys meet up, get familiar with the city and get mistaken for the floor show.
“Come and visit us when we’re in Thailand”
“OK”
“We can spend a few nights in Bangkok”
“I thought one was enough to make a hard man humble”
“Yes but we’re really hard”
“OK”
“But we’ll need Alasdair”
“I’ll phone him”
