So Phuket. Everyone had warned us that it wasn't that great but we felt that it was on our way so we went to see for ourselves. There were some seriously sleazy bars that we avoided and the place was literally full of Western men OF ALL AGES attached to a Thai girl OF NO OLDER THEN 20. There was loads of bars and shops but no where nice to eat really. The beach was ok. A bit dirty but it was like most places. But the sea was so windy that there was a really stron...

After a short journey from Krabi we arrived at the world class island of Koh Phi Phi. Once again we arrived at the pier and it was seriously raining, so we spent a while looking for accommadation whilst getting soaked. All fun and games though. Found some really nice accommadation right on the beach front so we literally could roll out of bed onto the beach. Our room even had free water and free maid service - the first so far. The island wasn't as amazing as we ...

After a night on a busy part of town Ao Nang, we headed for the nicest part of Krabi as Ao Nang didn't have much of a beach. Railey bay is only reached by boat and we ended up in a longtail boat (like in the pictures) with our backpacks and the sea was very rough and the boat was falling around. Scary. But we made it there fine and did the travellers thing of staying at the cheap side - the east and walking to the nice side to the beach on the west. The beach wa...

We headed to the busy part of Samui - Chaweng and managed to find somewhere cheap to stay that was close to the beach. We didn't really do much while we were here as we spent most of the days on the beach as the weather was really good. But the beaches were very busy and the sea was full of jet skies so there wasn't much room to swim. It seems that Samui is more of a holiday destination then a travellers place but never mind it was still hot and an experience. Es...

Arrived in Koh Tao and set ourselves up in a perfect part of town and clean and cheapish accommodation. Very nice place. Fairly quiet and literally 10 seconds from the beach. Very nice and quite quiet. It's a divers resort so we decided to take a trip around the island snorkelling because the waters are supposed to be amazing. And they really were - crystal clear!! We must have seen thousands of fish and loads of different corals. Matthew also claims that he was ...
