Arriving in Koh Phangan 4 days before hand we thought we'd have no problem finding accommodation, and 10,000 other people thought the same. After a long search we eventually found somewhere. Although we were paying well over the odds for our aluminous pink room, it was OK.This place was a refreshing chance from Phuket. The town was full of boutique clothing stores and restaurants showing movies all day long. It was also full of backpackers coming for the party. T...

We stayed in a resort called Kata in Phuket. The guest we had was lovely with really friendly people, who were quite willing to make us breakfast at 2 in the afternoon - we got a discount on the room because it had no windows, hence not waking up till mid-afternoon! The beach here was really nice. A little stingy when you went in the sea. We later found out that these were sea lice biting us. A short walk down the road and we were in Karon, another resort in Phuk...

We were taken to a nice hotel on the beach front with a swimming pool (sounds nicer than it actually was). We f...

On our last day in Krabi, we decided to visit the Phi Phi Islands. The cattlevan, or 'bus' as they like to call it, picked us up from our guest house and headed to Ao Nang where we got on a speedboat. Having been sunburnt the day before, we weren't too pleased when the only two seats left were on the front of the boat with no cover from the sun. Our first stop was monkey bay. Ironically, this hand Monkeys lining the bay. The next few islands were pretty much th...

From krabi town, we took a long tail boat with a lawnmower engine on to Railey Beach. After spending the first part of our trip in either cities or the jungle, it was good to finally get to the beach. the water was crystal clear and the sand was so soft. This beach is exactly as the photo looks. Its a tiny island surrounded by beautiful limestone cliffs, with a few expensive all inclusive hotels. After a few hours here, we headed back to the boat only realise the...
