The concrete jungle

Here we go 30 days in Thailand!
Expectations was one similar to what i remember of the film "the beach". Tourist enclaves filled with drunk and partying Brits. Swedes sunny it up on the beaces of of koh samui, and jungle..loads of jungle.Well I was right about the first two wrong about the latter!

Im soory but I didnt fall in love with Thailand. I think majority of Thais are great but if i was to describe Thailand in one word then that word would be ''resort''. More and more of Thailand is swallowed up in concrete everyday and to be honest its put me off travelling.
Phuket;; Stayed Phuket town first few days in a freindly guesthouse called Talang..i totally rtecommend this one.
