holiday in thailand








 for the next few days i'm going to bore you with a load of iphone photos 
i took during my birthday break in thailand.

9 pics today



1
this was the view from my window as we were about to land in bangkok.
should my phone have been switched off at this stage ?








2
in the bangkok airways lounge as i waited for the connecting flight to koh samui, 
i noted that the christmas decorations were still kicking around.
snowmen always leave me cold ( leave it )
i like that they generally seem happy. 
i like that they usually wear nice hats and scarves.
but i don't like carrots.








3
using the iphone's front camera is always a bit of a joke, but you know me...
i can't resist a self-portrait.
here i am at koh samui airport waiting for my bags to turn up on the carousel.
note that i always try to fly the flag when i'm travelling, and though a long sleeve
top seemed like a good idea in london, it was a little bit too hot for it in samui.








4
i do this shot every time i'm waiting by the baggage carousel in an airport.
i must have quite a collection now of my footwear next to a 'keep behind the line'
sign written in a foreign language.
talking of which, thai writing... not bad !








5
essentials on day one by the pool in samui








6
finalhome on a lounger by the pool, waiting for his beer to arrive.








7
i don't know if i mentioned it recently, but it was to be my birthday
while i was out in thailand.
watches are very important to me and for this trip i took my bapex with me.
this watch was a birthday present maybe 5 or 6 years ago and it's an absolute
corker. lots of really sweet details that you can only see close up.
it's based on the rolex daytona... but more of that later.








8
this is a little thing at the resort that each room has.
it's a little figure that you hang outside your door when you don't want
to be disturbed.
is it just me or does this one look like john lennon with problems ?








9
coffee.
you know how i feel about coffee right ?
the staff at the resort were going to need training up to make my coffee each morning.
this was the first of many coffees during my stay.

strong latte kaaaaaa ( as the waitress would say )



more tomorrow.

  1. Hmm, I'm feeling a bit short changed as you've already posted some of these photos, but I guess each passing year brings a little more short term memory impairment
