Today we travelled from Phuket up to Khao Sok National park. It was quite exciting to be away from the islands and beaches and be surrounded by so much greenery! The bus took 4 hours and it pretty much rained all day so much so that once we hit Khao Sok and had checked in we headed out at buy some Rain Poncho's!?! Very Sexy im sure you can imagine ;oD Khao Sok is very quiet the kind of place where people get up at 6am to go hiking and then are tucked up in bed b...

OMG! It took FOREVER to get here today, when we got to Phuket town it was stupidly expensive (at a hostel!?!) so we headed to betong beach, MISTAKE, the nice scottish lady in Koh Jum was right it is actually worse than blackpool in the sun!? :o( we found a room 800B for 3 of us but it had,A/C, free net and a small pool so we made the most of that did our washing and decided to head down to Karon Beach the next day, hoping to find sumthing a lot quieter and cheape...

Today we travelled from Koh Lanta to Koh Samui via Krabi (from the west coast over to the east) for the Full moon party :oD Its quite nice here, we are staying on the less touristy beach of Lamai. This is the first place where have been to where we have noticed the 'go-go' bars and massage parlours etc. that thailand is so famous for. Koh samui's quite a large island so we all (Nemo is still with us) decided to rent a jeep for the day 800B for 24hours 16 quid (n...
