We are coming to the end of our Thailand adventure and i am thinking that Mrs Maynard should have taken some Thai lessons from Miss Van Rooyen; as between you and me, she is not very good ! But the main thing is that she is trying and having a go.
See if you can have a go, you might need Miss Van Rooyen to help you here.
Hello - Sawasdee Ka
Good bye - La Kron
Thank you - kop khun kha
How are you? - Sabai Dee Mai?
The money over here is Baht. 1 English pound will get you 45 Baht.
The time difference here is 6 hours, so when you start school at 9am, it is already 3pm here.
We have been very busy, as Tim has learnt how to Scuba dive and Mrs Maynard has also done some diving. I stayed on the beach, whilst they went off diving on a boat.
They said that they saw lots of fish of different colours and sizes. It was like swimming in a huge fish tank.
The island that we went to was really small, so Mrs Maynard and Tim hired a motorbike, so we could all whizz around the island. We were very careful as Mrs Maynard told us about James` daddy had broken his leg on a motorbike. I do hope that it is all fixed now James?
We stayed in a very small hut that only had 2 rooms; a bathroom and a bedroom. It was very cheap and only cost us 4 pounds a night - isn`t that cheap !?
We did however stay in a nice hotel a few days later, with a view of the sea from our balcony and a BIG TV in our room. Even Mrs Moore would have approved of this one.
In Bangkok, which is the capital of Thailand, we hired a small tuk-tuk who took us out for the day to all the different sights and temples around Bangkok. Did you know there are over 450 temples in the city of Bangkok alone.
Below, you can see me riding on the tuk-tuk and some of the temples and Buddhas we saw along the way.
We leave Bangkok and Thailand tomorrow and are heading to Vietnam, so look forward to telling you about the next leg of our trip soon.
Take care
Buster
