So... continued from my 'too-big' journal... This bit was the most daring date I asked her to come on... Needless to say, she agreed without hesitation....

Hmmm now to try and embed a video... Sorry it's a bit long, but here goes... Jump to 3.43 for the fun bit...

I did this at Thai Sky Adventures in Laem Chabang, north of Pattaya. It was very professional and (fairly) safe. The cost was 9500 baht for the jump and another 4500 for a guy to video and photograph the jump. I got a discount because I know a guy, so it was 12500 for everything. If anyone is interested (and I REALLY recommend it), I have 1000 baht discount vouchers available.

So, Miss Replacement wasn't scared of heights, because she dived out 30 seconds after me and never looked nervous throughout the whole experience.

This week, I changed tactics and we went deep, rather than high.

This experience was at Siam Ocean World in Siam Paragon. It was fun (although nothing compares to the Skydiving) and again I'd recommend it to anyone who wants a fun half day out. It cost (approx) 6000 baht - there are different prices for qualified and non-qualified divers. Miss Replacement had never been diving before and her first time was in a 14 million litre tank of sharks... pretty cool.

So far so good - we only have a couple of weeks left before she goes to Australia. We are going stand-up paddling (like surfing with a paddle) in Rayong on Monday. Before she leaves, we hope to go shooting, go-karting, paintballing (again), wakeboarding and anything else we can think of and fit in with our schedules.

Extreme dating? Love it.

Beautiful.

Pricing is:

5,300 Baht - Regular divers with certified diving lisence

Cool! This looks so much better than dinner and a movie. I have tried for three years to get the gf to go diving with me, but she won't.

Bill - can I only show one journal at a time? Only 10 pictures?

Jim - lots of Thai girls aren't good in the water. I made this blog because I'm so surprised to find a girl who will be adventurous.

It's a setting. I limited it to 10 because some people were putting 30 or 40 pictures in a single blog entry and it was murder if you were on a slow connection (as they all are here in Thailand).

What's a reasonable number?

20?

I think I had 19 in my full blog.

I had to do it in two parts and the second part isn't visible unless people look for it...

That was awesome. I couldn't stop grinning at the awesomeness of it all...I still won't do it because I'm a wuss.

So...I bet you two only do it in the missionary position with the lights off.

That's true... we do.

But it's OK. 'Cos it's 3 in the afternoon at Ratchaprasong Junction.

And there's five of us.

Now that is EXTREME!!

Extreme dating is lovely indeed.

Skydiving wow...! Thumbs up for you Dave and Miss Replacement!

Heights and sharks I need to beat them.
