We're hanging out in a little bar in Trat with a huge aquarium including kissing fish right now, I tried hard to get pictures of the fish making out until the batteries ran out, to no avail. So far we're liking it here, although the locals do stare and we hear the word "farang" (sometimes just refers to a westerner, but often in a negative way) from many people. We went to a nice waterfall, the day market and the night market today, we've been busy. It's nice that it's not too touristy here so all the prices are better, although we hardly buy anything cause we don't want to carry it around. We leave the day after tomorrow but Jade's threatening leaving in the morning, we've been kept up at night by the most annoying bird on the face of the earth, Jade and I have vowed to kill this thing with our bare hands if we ever run into it. So Damien will accompany us to Hat Lek, where we cross into Cambodia, and then on to Shinoukville (not sure of the spelling if anyone's actually looking it up. By the way, we are trying to figure out somehow to put a link to a map up so you can see where we are but you'll have to be patient cause it's not easy. So, hopefully next time we write we can include some beautiful pictures of all the temples in Cambodia....... until then. Carla
P.S. We never got your e-mail Tyler so you're the bitch!!!! If you want to write us it's carlaskuce@hotmail.com and urcoull@hotmail.com

Last night on Ko Chang

Hello,

Carla and I are still here on KoChang with Damien and Jade in tow. Rained like razy all last night and all mornig, and I was sure our raised bungalow was going to wash away, as we are right on the water. We were suposed to go on a four island snorkelling tour, but no such luck with the weather. Oh well, as soon as the sky cleared we headed out elephant trecking in the jungle. Walked thru a river as well. Not that it had much water. It is dry season here (really its not suposed to rain at all) and so many of the rivers and waterfalls are dry. Too bad, because that is the draw of this National Park Island, the natural sights and rainforest. Oh well. Gorgeous here anyhow.

So tomorrow am we are heading back to the mainland to Trat, where we will stay for a couple of days. It sounds like a less touristy place than the islands, which will be nice and has some gorgeous beaches all along the coast. We will do some snorkelling there for sure. So our plan is to stay in Thailand untill our Visas run aout, the 2nd of March and then off to Cambodia. So excited! I have been reading about it for a couple days now, I can't wait.

later. R.
