Hi everyone, Arrived in Phuket today, we are staying in a hole of a hotel in the middle of Phuket town, its the sort of place I have been avoiding since leaving Bangkok. This disappointing first response could be due to spending 12 hours between taxis, ferry, coach nda trundelling around with my bag on my back. It could also be the fact that there was a beach party at our hotel that was still going strong when we left at 6:00 am. We've not been up to much ...

The train journey wasnt too bad today about 4 hours bu...

Hi all, Moved out of Bangkok which was a bit of a relief to get away from the hectic way of life. Travelled by train which was very slow, over crowded, cheap but quite a fun experience. We're staying in a much smaller place till tomorrow where we set off for Chumphon for one night before catching a boat to Ko Tao. We have been to look at some temples at the top of hill which had some temples on the top of it aswell as to look at some cave full of Buddha stu...
