So after 3 months of backpacking SE Asia (well on occasions flashpacking!!!!!) I am now back home in good old England and damm its cold, I have had the heating on all day!! Well I'm still wearing my flip-flops, shorts, tops and beeds - so its all good. During my time I have visited 4 countries, Thailland (North), Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand (South) and visted the following places: Bangkok, Kanchanaburi, Chiang Mai, Luang Prabang, Vang Vien, Vientienne,...

I arrived in Bangkok for the 3rd time on this trip at 5am in the morning! Walking down the Koh San at that time was a laugh, everyone left out were so wasted, walking in ZigZags and eating Pad Thai from the 20BAHT stalls on the side of the road. The whole place looked like a mess, was so different seeing it sober! Checked myself in to the Rambuttri village Inn which is along Soi Rambuttri, its cheap and has a rooftop swimming pool - I would recommend it to any...

I stayed in Phangan for 5 days and didnt really do anything except drink, sleep and nurse a hangover on the beach. The nights leading up to the full moon party were great, it was pretty much the same but just a scaled down version. The Fu...

Okay I have reached the far southern island of Koh Tarutao, which is near the border of Malaysia. Koh Tarutao, is a national park, so there is very little development on the island - which was a perfect relaxing couple of days before I head to Koh Phangan for the Full Moon Party and warmup nights! Prance has hooked up with this 30 year old Austrian, so she tagged along. It was quite nice as Prance and her shared a tent, so I had one all to myself. Okay so now...
