So yesterday and today have been pretty quiet. Yesterday was the ferry and coach ride combo back to Bangkok from koh tao which was fairly easy... We managed to get the front seats on the coach... Leg room!!!! After arriving in Bangkok we checked into our hotel and quickly realised songkran was starting as people fled to the street with water cannons. After some food we hit the hay.

It was funny, don't get me wrong, but for perhaps the wrong reasons. Due to ill fitting outfits various body parts were frequently on show and outfits falling ap...

As I write this I am chilling in the gardens of our hostel in chiang mai. The DeeJai backpackers are our hosts for the next few nights and I have to say I love it here, the rooms are comfortable and there is a great social feel to the hostel along with a fantastic owner. He is actually English but has lived in Thailand for years and.... Wait for it.... He's been to guernsey (he claims to love it there). Our trip here consisted of a very sketchy coach journey. O...
