After leaving Phi Phi at 2pm we didn't arrive in Ko Lanta until 9pm where we got dumped in a car park. The driver refused to take us to our guest house as he wanted us all to go to his friends guest house. As it was getting later and later and we were in the middle of no where we all decided to stay at the guest house. We meet four German students on the bus so we shared rooms with them along with the cockroaches. First thing the next day we all moved to our orig...

Lauren arrived in Bangkok in the early hours carrying 3 bags, i couldn't believe how much stuff she has collected in 5 months. The following day was spent shopping (not that Lauren could possible need anything else) eating and having massages until it was time to get the night bus to Phi Phi.

I arrived in Bangkok to find BA had lost my bag and had run out of claim forms, convenient. So that night i had dinner for one on the roof terrace of my 5 star hotel. The following day (still no bag) i headed to Th Khao San and found a guest house very different from my hotel, hot water is an extra. So my first day was spent shopping for essentials that i had lost and phoning BA. Bangkok is very dirty and busy and so far i really don't like it.
