The boat from Ko Phi Phi to Ko Lanta was awful. It was crowded, hot, stuffy and the rocking of the boat coupled with the residual effects of the previous night's Chang (6.4%) beers left me sweaty and nauseously miserable. I passed the time by alternating between reading and complaining to Gina who was in a much better state then I.Mercifully, the trip was only 2 wretched hours and we were deposited on the beautiful island Ko Lanta, where we quickly secured accomm...

Hello everyone! This is Gina and Adrian's closest, hottest, most intelligent and most incredible friend Becky.

After the cool off, we made our way back to the hostel to p...

We decided that although we weren't in love with Phuket that we also were not crazy about exerting the effort required to make our way economically to another area. To boot we had no real game plan and no schedule; so why not sleep in a bit? We settled on checking out another part of Phuket for the night since we'd been sort of hiding from it i...
