The boat to Phuket was very calm, a good job too as it was raining very heavily and we had to sit inside! It was a short journey then to our hotel and when we arrived we explored the hotel and settled for the night. The hotel was huge and quite eery which didn't help as we kept getting lost, the breakfast was also a miss so we decided to venture out to find a good cafe, we searched high and low and after countless stalls serving rice, noodles and dodgy things on ...

We finally made the trip off Koh Tao, and made it to Chumporn without any sickness, although we had to spend most of the morning arguing with the ferry staff, so that we didn't have to pay twice for our ticket! We had a short overnight stay in Chumporn until our transfer to Krabi early the next morning. After our 4 hour minibus journey we were glad to arrive in Krabi to relax. We were pursuaded to stay in Ao Nang rather than Krabi town. It was a nice place and m...

So, the journey to Koh Tao was a story on its own. I spent the whole 1 hour and 15 minutes in the toilet being sick and all sorts!

It just so happens that the toile...

In Koh Phangan we only had a 2 night stay, as there isnt an awful lot to do unless your up for a party. The Full Moon parties are huge! We hired a scooter for the day to explore the island. The locals dont wear helmets so we felt like proper tourists. At first they didnt even give me one, they said only the driver! Of course, i insisted! So off we went to Koh Ma, a tiny island in the north of Koh Phangang that you walk to via a small strip of sand, it was very p...

So, we arrived back in Bangkok to get the overnight sleeper train to Surratthani where we would then get a bus to the ferry port and a boat to Koh Samui... We arrived in Bangkok about midday and had around 6 hours to kill before our train departed so decided we'd visit the Grand Palace. After getting a taxi all the way there we were met at the gates by a man who told us we could not enter as we were inappropriatley dressed, "no problem" he said just go ...
