So I guess that after not filling in the blog for a while, I should begin with a quick recap of my travels. After meeting up with the tour in Bangkok we then moved southwards on the overnight train to the National Park called 'Khao Sak' which whilst technically is in the province of Krabi is actually the Jungle. Whilst we were here we got the chance to do tubing (floating down a river in an inner tube), trekking and the other usual activities. After this we moved...

After the Full Moon Party I decided to make my way back to Bangkok to meet with the tour party and in my infinite wisdom decided to take the overnight sleeper train for 12 hours which was again was an experience!

So Ill begin by apologising for the lack of updates with the blogs and photos etc which has mainly been down to poor internet connections and my lack of computer skillls. After staying a few days in Patong I decided enough was enough and decided to move further down the coast to the smaller and less seedy villages of Kata and Karon (which had less ladyboys and strip clubs!!). It was a move pretty much brought on by the need for a quieter life and also by the appr...
