Hello All, When I woke up I went downstairs to look for something to eat. Instead of having the expensive breakfast (especially so when it doesn't just go on Richard's room tab) I decided to have a walk to see if I could find anything. My area seemed to be very asian, and there were a lot of cooking animals in the windows, which didn't really appeal to me. Instead I went into a small supermarket to buy some milk and cereal. When I got to the front, ther...

Hello All, Today was a busy day of travelling. We left on the 9am ferry from Phi Phi to Phuket. We stopped at a place on the beach for a quick lunch then headed to the airport. Plane ride had turbulence for about 2:26 of the 2:40 flight. I was lucky that I had a row all to myself.

Subscribers, Unfortunately I am quite sure that the rest of my trip will be downhill. The good thing is that today's peak was really high!

We are however going to switch hotels because the one we booked is a bit of a dive... A long way from the good olf...

Hello Everyone, I apologize for the lack of email yesterday, might have had something to do with the $1 champagne bottle sized beers they sell here… I am now in Krabi with Mike and three of his friends (1 from Hong Kong, 1 from Singapore and 1 from Bangkok). We arrived yesterday afternoon, and walking down the stairs of the plane onto the tarmac felt a lot like arriving in the Sunshine Coast after 24 hours of travelling. On the bus ride to the hotel, th...
