Our blogs have been few and far between at the moment, mainly because we've just been bumming around the beaches and not doing any sightseeing as such! Since Krabi we've been to Ko Samui for 2 nights and had fun jet skiing at the beach. Then we went to Ko Phagnan a few days before the full moon party. Our accomodation here was amazing, a big bungalow with big terrace and hammock, lovely pool and restaurant and right on the beach with swings hanging from coconut t...

We're now in the islands of Thailand and haven't really been doing much except lazing on the beaches, so sorry if this blog is really boring!

We hired bikes when we got there and cycled round the historical park which you can see in the photos. From Phitsanulok we took another train (wit...

Hello again. Well since we last wrote we have visited Kancaniburi and the River Kwai and then returned to Bangkok. Kanchanaburi is the place where the famous Bridge over the River Kwai is situated.
