Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

Hope you had a marvellous time.
Welcome back.
welcome back les...looking forward for your blog
Don't make promises when you are in JOY. Don't reply when you are SAD.
Don't take decisions when you are ANGRY. Think twice, Act wise. BE happy.
hi,everyone sorry for delay. ok just quick recap,met maricel in davao last october and stayed for 2 weeks,fantastic time lovely girl and very sad to leave.
Fast forward a few months and im thinking that i'm really missing mariceland we have to meet asap! now i;m saving hard again so we can meet ,we both agree may would be a good time
I then started thinking hmm how about we meet in thailand as it's a new country for me to visit and also maricel had never been abroad so sounds like a good idea.
The love of my life was more than happy to meet in thailandat the prospect of her 1st trip abroad! the day arrives for me to leave (i'm leaving on 17th may,maricel 18th may).
My flight was easy from uk-amsterdam-bankok with quick changeover so was it bankok early afternoon 18th may. maricel was arriving at midnight so i sat outside and forcebly instructed to drink a few lagers while i wait
Soon it was time to meet maricel and after a short ride back to the airport i was waiting near the meeting point.after a short delay i saw the gorgeous smile and here was my darling
it felt like we had not really been apart and we were so together after seconds,a very natural feeling for us
maricel complained of her long flightlol (it's a long 4 hrs
) but joking aside she had to have a long long wait in manila before her flight was due
So we went back to hotel to rest
One thing which suprised me was the lack of english spoken sometimes it was very hard to understand or order correctly i thought with the tourism that english would be spoken in most places.
The hotel was ok and handy for the trip to our upcoming grand palace visit the next day.
We had a rest and went out to the night market which is a collection of bars,shops,eating places and large stage with live music.we enjoyed it and returned back to hotel looking forward to our grand palace trip the next day
Lots of pinays in Bangkok Les,they teach english,one of them told me the one thing that annoys her is Thais automatically assume she is also a Thai and chatter away to her in their native tongue,I suppose at first its funny,but 30 or 40 times a day over a period of time it becimes a tad.....

hi les!
Me & my hubby had been to Thailand also for our honeymoon. We did enjoyed our stay there. We've been to safari world, dream world, bridge over the river kwai & tiger temple where we both experienced close encounter with tigers & even had photographs with it, very scary tho but it's worth the experience.
Hope you have time to visit those places also! Enjoy & have fun together!
with a heart full of love, you will express your highest potential while also fulfilling your soul's deepest purpose:
TO LOVE AND BE LOVED!

Next day arrives and after being led down a side street by a dodgy boat vender we are zooming along the river towards the grand palace
It was a hot day and a helpful giude started to become very friendly with us and guess what i fell for it!,he is now leading us to see one of the "masters"
Our guide has knocked on door and after removing shoes we are told to sit at feet of orange clad master! after blessing us with water and chant the trinkets come outasking the price we are quoted approx £20 each
and prosperity is guaranteed
A donation was then suggestedand after handing over a release payment please of £2.00 we were free
We then returned to our hired tuk tuk who drove us to various other sites and jewlery shops so he could get free fuel if we just looked around a whileUpon dropping us off back at the river the original quote had increased considerably but i am now expecting this and he was with us a long time.
So returning to our hotel via river taxi although not sure which was our stop lol.we had an indian meal which was different to say the least and back to hotel looking forward to our trip to phuket the next day and for me the more engaging part of the holiday. (just to add at all times we felt safe in bangkok having arrived just weeks after the protests)
Good to hear you had fun in thailand
It's good to have money and the things that money can buy, but it's good to check up once in a while to make sure you haven't lost the things that money can't buy.
Yipee at last it's time to fly down to phuket
Everyone screamsi turn to maricel she is smiling and says "that was good hope it happens again it was like being on a rollercoaster"
Landed in phuket without further incident and got a posh taxi to take us the 30min trip to our hotel.on arrival at hotel we were very impressed the amari coral hotel it is gorgeous.
I use trip advisor when looking for hotels as you find out what people who have stayed in hotels really think of them and the amari was voted no1 in phuket and i totally agreed with the rating. oh how nice to get to the beach and swimming pools at our hotel,it seemed a world away from noisy,grubby bangkok.
We got settled in our room and had a quick walk about to check the hotel out and we were very happy.we agreed to relax and then check out the infamous
So hand in hand we set of towards the beach and kapow! the noise and liveliness of the bars,shops hits you like a smack in the face
we soon learnt to ignore all eye contact with anyone selling from tuk tuk and taxi rides to "hey rolex mister" "eat here","hey boss"
To be fair we both enjoyed the energy and action of patong beach but it was nice to return to the calmness and security of our hotel at the far side of the beach set in its own grounds away from the hustle and bustle
The next day it was relax time
The problem was i was very near the deep end so water was up to my shoulders so when maricel leapt towards me it pushed me back wards and my head underwater
thankfully after lots of thrashing about in the water we were safe
Then the awful realisation that this had been a great show to all the people by the poolside
Hi Les,
Great to hear that you are having a great time with your lady in Thailand.
I hope it's not too late to mention the phrase that Rochelyn had to say every hour when everyone mistook her for a Thai lady there.
"Phood Thai Mai Dai" ("I don't speak Thai").
Everyone was shocked when she told them she was a Filipina.
I suppose Asian ladies DO look similar then :-)
Have fun there, we hired a moped in Krabi in May, which was a lot of fun!
BTW, take some scuba tanks to the swimming pool, then you can inspect the coins on the pool floor!!
Question, how many times have you heard the phrase "You handsome man!" or "Me love you long time!" or "No money no honey!" I'm just joking of course!
I bet Thai girls are lovely, much the same as our Filipina's I expect..

Only one way to find out.........
"10% of life is made up of what happens to you, 90% is decided by how you react"
"The way to love anything is to realize that it may be lost"
We value our lives too much.Only one way to find out.........
Yes I got so excited with the sudden drop down!Yipee at last it's time to fly down to phuket
Everyone screams.....Les turned to me saying everyone was getting pale coz of fear and he had this look seemingly wondering why I seem to be enjoying it
But honestly, if there was a second drop down then maybe I'll start praying the rosary.
In the early days when I used to fly into Manila I often saw pinays fiddling with their rosaries,crossing themselves,and mummbling under their breath,that was before the plane even took offBut whenever the plane landed at NAIA they would all break into spontaneous applause,it doesnt happen so much nowadays though

I'm not sure what was it....All I can remember was we experienced consistent turbulence and then went the sudden drop.In the early days when I used to fly into Manila I often saw pinays fiddling with their rosaries,crossing themselves,and mummbling under their breath,that was before the plane even took off
Yes he did try to drown me!!The next day it was relax time
The problem was i was very near the deep end so water was up to my shoulders so when maricel leapt towards me it pushed me back wards and my head underwater
thankfully after lots of thrashing about in the water we were safe
Then the awful realisation that this had been a great show to all the people by the poolside
I think I drank more than 5 glasses of pool water then....Phew! It was supposedly an embarrassing moment....but the funny thing was, nobody seemed to care. The other foreigners in the pool didn't seem to mind us....It was like they were in their own worlds lol
Yes he did try to drown me!!
