good evening fruit chatters,
iv'e noticed its been very quiet on here in my absence.
iv'e just come back from japan & while i was there there was a small earth quake,
thankfully nothing happened to me.
i love the japanese people,culture & especially the food
my favourite holiday would have to be thailand.
thailand is a beautiful country.
the weather is always hot,
the people are always smiling & very friendly.
ive travelled around most of thailand & i still want to go back there.
the best time to go there is december, january & april.
in december & january the weather is perfect.
on april 11th-12th is the thai new year,
the thai's love throwing water on this day.
the currency is baht,
i think there is 50 baht to the pound.
when i was there a few years back it was 70 baht.
accomodation is very cheap & the food tastes fantastic.
the woman are very nice too.
koh samui (chawang beach) & phi phi island (maya bay) are two of my favourite beaches in thailand.
every month they have a full moon party on koh phangan (hadrin).
the party lasts for 24 hours.
i remember once buying a magic mushroom omlette from this street vender,
there was a big queue,
after a couple of hours i realised the omlette was just an omlette & there was nothing magical about it.
the mushroom man had gone.
i do miss thailand even though i have been there around a dozen times.
my best holiday (thailand)

if you could even get 100 baht to the £ , i'd jump on a plane and be there tomorrow.
probably about 45-50 baht to the a £ nowadays, but it was 60-70 for a long time a few years back.
fell in love wih the place the first time i went back in the 90s and have been a few times since. there are places i prefer to thailand these days, but for anyone that hasn't been it is a 'must see' country.
