Our next two stops have been Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, both big cities for three nights. We had heard mixed reviews about Kuala Lumpur, but we really loved it! It was like a little taste of home in some parts, with big western shopping centres and traffic not as hectic, but within 10 minutes of walking you're back to a very asian city with chinatown, street food... Our hostel was incredible too, best one we've stayed at so far, it was a 28 bed dorm but in this...

We had the most amazing week on koh phiphi, the four of us agreed that it was definately one of our favorite places! There were no cars or scooters on the island, just peddle bikes, all the streets were like winding, interlinked market streets with lots of restaurants- western food was the same price as thai for once, so we had quite a western week. The weather luckily was boiling, such a relief coming from rainy Koh Lanta, and our hostel was so nice, it was th...

After five days in pai, we headed back to chiang mai for a night before taking an overnight bus back to bangkok (we ended up bungee jumping on our day in chiang mai aaaaaahhhh).

Cha...

After waking up veryy early, and having quite a dodgy pick up from the tour we'd booked (turned out to be an extremely unorganised company) we drove two hours in a minibus to a floating market. We rode a boat through the market which was so interesting, all the stalls were also floating selling trinkets to freshly cooked food, we then walked around the stalls in land, although seeing as it was rather touristy everything was pretty expensive. In the afternoon we...
