The boat that rocked! We had a truly awful journey between Samui and Phangan. We awoke to a violent storm and pouring rain. When we arrived at the port we could see from the crazy waves that our journey wasn't going to be good. 3 hours after our scheduled departure time we boarded which was hard to do! We had to cross a floating platform and it was just a mass of people holding on to one another. Amidst this, Lauren and I got separated from Nut who ended up at t...

The toilet was the only downfall with no flush, you had to fill it with buckets of water to sort it! On arrival we met a Canadian girl called lauren who wo...

The blogging begins!We have just spent a fun 3 days in Bangkok. After arriving at the hostel we filled our days with tourist sightseeing and came home each evening sweaty and aching...being enthusiastic tourists we wanted to walk everywhere but soon converted to taxi and boat services. The first day after 2 hours on the streets we came to the Grand Palace which was beautiful and so gold. We are going to have to beware of scams-everyone tells you things are closed...
