Once again I've been very lazy and waited a week before updating my blog - anyway here goes. Since the last time we left Krabi and went to Bangkok with the intention of heading to Khao Yai National Park - however due to a surge in people wanting to go there last week we were unable to find a hotel (OK, I just left it too late) and had to stay in Bankok for a week. My initial reaction was that I would be bored out of my mind, however it actually ended up being a v...

Wow, I can't believe that it's been 10 days since the last blog, but I've been absalutly snowed under. Yeah right!!! Anyway, we've done a few things since the last time so this might be a bit wordy, perfect for a Monday morning at work. Since the last time I wrote we moved to Koh Lanta by boat where we stayed at a nice (but inexpensive) hotel on the beach.

Well, we've been here a week now and I have to say that it feels longer. It's incredible how you can feel so removed from everyday life in such a short space of time.

We were picked up promptly at our hotel at 9.45 and driven to the pier to get a longtail boat which we shared with what we assumed was a Dutch family a...

Although we're actually in Ao Nang at the moment, I'm just going to go back a few days to Bangkok seeing as I havent had much of a chance to get to the internet to do anymore posts. By the time we left Bangkok we had really warmed to it and felt like locals. We even knew the sky train routes off by heart. For those not familiar with the sky train we'll explain to you why we took such an interest and why it's easy for an english person to remember! Here are a few...

Finally after a 9 hour flight, for which I slept most of, here we are again in Bangkok a year on. Has anything changed? Not really, Bangkok is still polluted, busy and extremely hot and I love it! OK, maybe I am being slightly over the top to use the word "love", but this city has certainly grown on me. The weird smells from the food stalls on the side of the road are no longer sickening but appealing and the annoying traffic and noise are suppressed wi...
