Koh kraden - trang islands - Thailand

[mistahclarke]

This island is meant to be far away from it all, and on arrival at our resort I found this. Apparently 3 lads from Brighton stayed here and did it. Anyone from here?

It's not meant to be upside down obviously.

Here's a clue who did it

Yes - Winchester1 is me Robbo! We were drinking before the game yesterday in the Belle and talking about our Thailand exploits and a NSC member told me that he'd seen this post about our decoration on Ko Kradan! It's a small world isn't it - the bar where we left the sign was covered in bits of drift wood that had been painted and signed by travellers from all over the world! I hope you left your mark too!? Kradan was amazing, but we went on and visited another handful of islands. One of which was Ko Lanta. Here we met a a crazy Thai guy who ran a bar and thought he was a bit of a DJ. We managed to convince him that we knew Fat Boy Slim. We told him that we'd called Norman and he'd agreed to send him out a special flag for Christmas to hang in the bar (little did he know that I'd taken Fat Boy's flag advertising his summer gigs at the AMEX with me!). Anyway, two days later we turned up at his beach bar with the flag and this guys face was an absolute picture! Its now proudly hanging above the DJ booth! By this time we had got him telling all his customers that his favourite football team was "Brighton", that we played in "white and blue", that our nickname was "Seagulls" and "that we hate Crystal Palace". On Boxing Day even we tought him the words to "Hark now hear the Brighton sing the Palace run away.....etc" For anyone who hasn't been to Thailand yet but is thinking about going - do it! And I'd recommend that you take some flags/banners with you as the locals love the english and are delighted for you to leave a little bit of England with them!!

There is a BHAFC sign on the way into the River Rapids Ride in Animal Kingdom, Florida as well.
