The peaceful like of Pai! Ever since I started my travels and mentioned the north of Thailand, everyone immediately said "you have to go to pai!" So that's what I did. Pai is a little town around four hours drive north east of Chiang mai. Deep in the green mountains the village has become a hippy haven for travellers from all over the world. My bus ride over was surprisingly nice despite all the bends. I got great views of the sun setting over the mountains! I...

Trekking through the mountains! The two days travelling from koh phangan straight after the half moon party up to Chiang mai are a bit of a blur. I remember being very tired but enjoying the banter :p. I remember the screeching lady at the food stop on the way to Bangkok and our hilarious taxi driver on our way to the hostel. "Lady boys?

I used the same company as before, Lompraray, who organise connections between the Islands. My journey consisted of one bus and one boat. The company make it really clear and even give you fun colour coded stickers for each destination. I took the boat from Suran Thani and then passed koh samui, then koh phangan th...

Party time on phi phi After the best nights sleep in a long while, I boarded the ferry to the beautiful island of koh phi phi. As soon as the 'high speed catamaran' pulled in you could see exactly why the island had gotten it's reputation of splendour. However the island was anything but tranquil. The minute I stepped on the pier the mob of sellers flashed every type of accommodation in my sweaty face! I had booked ahead which I would definitely recommend. So I...
