A really quick flight from Singapore with Air Asia and a quick visit of three days in Kuala Lumpur to finish my time in SE Asia. This is a proper city with all the chaos on the roads and the dynamic mix of cultures and new and old buildings. The centre looked like a big building site where they are building extensions to the subway and new buildings are going up. The Petronas Twin towers are the highlight, once the tallest building in the world they stand erec...

Just to show its always a good idea to be flexible with travel plans! I was sitting in my hotel in Bangkok ready to get my night train to Koh Tao to do some scubadiving when I thought I would check the medical conditions for diving, what I found fundementally changed my plans for my journey, because of a lung condition I had in the last few years there is an absolute instruction that I catagorically cannot scuba-dive!

I met so many interesting and thrivi...

A bit of a shock getting back to a thriving bustling city after the quiet, relaxing island living. Took a flight from Bangkok with Angkor air, Cambodia's national airline that is half owned by Vietnam air and I had the best service I have received so far, if the country is looking to give a great first impression then they have. So after a great first impression I came back to earth as I made my biggest guest house mistake of the trip so far and whilst I have ...
