As we hadn't slept brilliantly last night there was no rushing to be up and out this morning. We had breakfast at our place again and did some planning. We have decided which package to take to get to Laos, it'll take three days and two nights to get to Luang Prabang and we've booked the first few nights accommodation there too. This afternoon we went out on the hunt for a phone for James, his phone is now definitely on it's way out, it hardly charges and when it...

It's James' birthday today and he'd decided that after the crazy day yesterday he would like to take it easy today and maybe do some planning in the room. So we didn't rush to get up and had breakfast at our place then did some catching up on emails etc and planning.

We got two different car ferries before getting to the airport. Once at the airport w...

After breakfast we got our bag ready and water pistols filled, we then met Dave and Kim at around 10.00am. It's Thai New Year starting today so it will be the first day of huge water fights in the town. We got a swangtheaw into the town here on Ko Lanta called Saladan apparently this is where most of the action is going to be. We had a feeling we were a little early but this gave Dave and Kim chance to buy water pistols too. We had bought them tiny pistols but wh...
