I am writing about the final bit of our Thailand trip the last 2 weeks. We decided to combine them because unfortunately we had 11 days of the worst rain i have ever seen and it was continuous so couldn't do too much. The Rain started as we arrived in Koh Phangan, We eventually found a nice Villa down by sunset beach. Luckily most of the restaurants showed films so in the evening we could have a nice dinner and watch a couple of films for free. We decided not to...

A 16 hour night bus journey, a 3 hour wait in Surathani, an hours drive to Don Sak pier and a 3 and a half hour boat ride got us to Koh Tao, the most northern island off the east coast of Thailand. Needless to say we were shattered and sea sick when we arrived at 3.30 in the afternoon so we found the nearest room and collapsed until dinner time.

After Luang Prabang we travelled by Mini Bus to Vang Vieng, we didn't arrive there until about 9pm, we found a pretty good hostel and got some dinner then went to bed knackered from all the travelling. Next day we were up early and got breakfast as we had decided to go Tubing (just to explain Tubing is were you go down to the river in Vang Vieng armed with a waterproof pouch for your money and the inner tubing out of a tractor wheel. You then jump inside the tub...
