Well I'm sat here in Koh Phangan at the moment and is absolutely chucking it down! We've just got the tail end of the hurricane thats been in Vietnam for the last few days. Hopefully it should pass by tonight as its full moon time! What a time for crap weather?! Got to Koh Phangan on Monday.

It was like something you'd see in a zoo about the size of your arm honestly! The next day however af...
