MagnusAndCheryl in Thailand

By goodness - a Bangkok breakfast with Bennett!

After a helter-skelter race across Lao and north-eastern Thailand we reached Bangkok just in time for a quick breakfast with Tricky before she took off for the beach.

And Alissa for dinner?

A day packing a double pal punch found us dining on posh Thai chow with globe-trotting film mogul Alissa Haight.

The gossip columns are sizzling with rumours that Alissa arranged the casting for NBC reality show 'Around the World in 80 Dates' in Thailand especially so she could make a guest appearance on this website!

Can it be true?!

Once more unto the beach, dear friends

Stalking sun-daft Tricky to the pristine beaches of Ko Samet we spent 3 days trying very hard to do absolutely nothing.

What could be sarong with that?!

Beware of the Bucket

The heady combination of high alcohol and caffeine content in these beach-front concoctions was an ever-present danger.

As was the risk of a straw up the nose - careful Patricia!

Fire engine, Bangkok style

Ideal for navigating those endless traffic jams, these pocket-sized wonders can douse even the teensiest conflagrations.

Ole!

Alissa's casting partner Mark celebrates his birthday with a bottle of Thai tequila (ouch!) surrounded by gorgeous would-be TV stars - contractually none of whom he can to fraternise with (double ouch!!!)

Ladies - one at a time, PLEASE!

The Royal Palace

At the fifth time of asking in Bangkok, we finally made it to the Royal Palace - containing a riot of colourful temples and home to the Emerald Buddha.

L.A. Confidential

Time to bid Alissa farewell as she headed back to Hollywood for a discreet 1-2-1 power lunch with George Clooney.

Next stop for us, the Indian Subcontinent!
