The weekend's finally upon us!

I'll be watching football tonight, might go sailing or kayaking tomorrow. Maybe do a little shopping after that. Those red banners are so enticing.
So what's the rest of the crowd doing?

With a bit of luck i will be flying back to Dubai this weekend after a 7 week absence

I shall be flying out of Dubai tonight heading to Bangkok, then onto Rayong to spend a week at a lake resort wakeboarding - yipeeee

You go to Thailand often Chocs?

Nope first time. Going with two of my girlie friends. This is a serious sporting and relaxing holiday, if there is such a thing.

Ahhh well have fun!
I own a few businesses over in Bangkok so i'm usually over there every month.
If you head to Khao San Road in Bangkok (local hippie hangout and shopping road), there's a REALLY good traditional Thai Spa around the corner from the burger king in an old Wooden House, 50 AED for 3 hours.
Lemme know if you want any other info

Can't wait though!

There's a nice beach in Rayong (after Ban Phe town) called Hat Rim Phae. Calm and not over crowded like Pattaya. We stayed in one of the resort, next to Novotel. There's facility as well to go to small islands off the coast for snorkeling and trekking. And lastly, Rayong province is Thailand's major fruit & vegetable main source. And their Durian is the best!

^ You want Durian you go to Surat
Pattaya's DEAD right now, as is much of Thailand with the H1N1 breakout.

Whenever I wanted Durian (that is like almost everyday!) I just went to nearest Tesco/Carrefour/BigC

Not from a street vendor??

These Brits! Voyage is in their blood. No H1N1 scare is gonna scuttle their plans.

Too lazy to open by myself, I just bought ready-packed
The only food I bought from street vendors were Kao Men Gai, Tom Yam Goong, and deep fried grasshopers
