So after a large amount of wine consumption on the plane, we arrived in Perth. Border security and quarantine was INSANE, they asked us about 5 times if we were carrying any food or wood with us, everywhere we went through the terminal. The queue to go through quarantine was so long, they were scanning all the bags, and as we approached a staff member pointed us through another way, which fast tracked us through, our bags weren't searched and we were out of the a...

Ok, so I realised it's taken me a long while to update this blog, so I apologise to my avid readers. So Singapore, our journey down to was very comfortable, the further south you go the more western Asia becomes and the more affluent it is. Like all our journeys its wasn't plain sailing, when we were filling out our entry forms at the border crossing this man approached me and started asking me questions about where I was from, and of course like anywhere in As...

We were staying in the Hotel Chinatown Inn, which was nice, staff not so happy but i can deal with ...

However, we did not enjoy being up at 5.30am to get the coach for 6, which shockingly was late.

We also bumped into the two Swedish guys from our Phi Phi trip at a service station and then at the border. We arri...

So on the 20th November, we got the early boat over to Krabi, Ao Nang beach. The boat was a speed boat that took about 1.45mins. Jess has started to concur my fear of boats, we sunbathed at the front of the boat, i was only a little bit paranoid about falling off, Jess on the other hand managed to fall asleep. The views on the boat were breathtaking. We arrived at our guest house, named KL guesthouse, the room was nice and clean, we opted for a fan room as it w...
