After arriving at Bangkok and spending a few days here, we headed up to Ayutthaya to have a look at what the old capital was like. We stayed there for two nights in a really nice room in a Thai style hotel. We had one of those king size beds that kinda float on the floor with a wooden panel underneath, a nice ensuite bathroom with a HOT shower (important - this doesn't happen often!!) and a big plasma screen tv! Luke was happy because he got to watch the start o...

For our second time back to Krabi we decided to stay in the same place as the first, sometimes you just have to stick with what you know!It was a nice,clean place with good standards and good food! The staff were really friendly too and remembered us from the first time!They asked us "How long is your holiday this time?"They thought we'd come to Krabi last year! lol, not quite, only back in January ;-) We told them it was part of the same trip!So we spent a whi...

We ...

Opposite there is another sign telling people a direction to go to evacuate in case anything does happen...it's quite surreal. On a positive note though, it's very nice here, the beach is amazing...w...

Today we went on a longtail boat to see four islands off the shore of krabi! It was beautiful! We stopped for an hour on each island and at one point the boat stopped by poda island and we got to get off and go snorkelling! We got in the water and were surrounded by thousands and thousands of tropical fish of all different colours,shapes and sizes! We couldnt put our feet down because of spiky sea urchins at the bottom that could go through your foot if stepped o...
