Seasonal Affective Disorder

[Bunk]

My worst hangover this year has been champagne-induced.

Not good at either end...

Norrahe, come on!! If that had been me posting that I would have got paddled for giving too much information.

Standards are slipping methings.

I wouldn't have mentioned normally, but on this occasion I would have put Zeity to shame...

EO - it's brilliant - She would love it!! the markets are brilliant, the whole experience is amazing! Ye should def give it a blast!!

Since I'll be there soon could you let me know which markets I should peruse? (I'm not an expert in these matters...)

Well - if you are going to be in Bangkok, the floating market is good as a sightseeing exercise - it's fun and colourful although they do rip you off so buy as little as possible!!

Chatuchak (sp) Weekend Market is wonderful - it's huge with zillions of stalls selling everything you could think of.

The upper floors of MBK are marketey types but with the added comfort of Air-Con (always a plus).

CJ which Island are you off to?

'fraid I am annoying cheerful all year round, love the autumn and winter - snuggling up in front of the fire, waking up to snow, Christmas etc...

Oh and Norrahe & Zippy, if its any consolation I was a bit sluggish yesterday morning too.

Phuket, but doing a Similan Islands & Richelieu Rock liveaboard for 6 days.

I've never been away for over 2 weeks before..

We went to the night market at Mindel beach in Darwin and she spent two quid. She loved it so much we had to go back , then we had to organise a whole trip just so she could go back again. 30 thousand miles including a week driving through the desert so she can spend two quid in the market.
I will ask her if she fancies Thailand , over a candle lit curry on Saturday night.

I've not been to Phuket but I'm fairly sure it'll be similar to Samui which is my fave place ever. It's so beautiful - you won't want to come back!!

Sounds about right - we went to Chatuchak wandered around for hours and I spent about a fiver. Himself wasn't too impressed although he loved Bangkok - I thought he'd hate it. He can't wait to go back

Going South a bit; my Mum and Dad, who've travelled around a bit, said Penang (Malasia) was lovely. Decades ago though, when natives were still running around in the jungle, it's probably all skyscrapers now. Anyone been there?
