We left Koh Pha-ngan at 5.30 in the morning with our transfer to the boat. All would have been well except I was ill. I had been up since 4.30 trotting to and from the toilet, it was pretty gruesome to say the least. Of all the travel luck that we have experieced so far this has got to be the lowest and of all the days! The boat left at 8 and it was the slow boat. The toilets were really gruesome so I spent the whole of the trip on the top of the boat letting my...

We left Koh Tao so that we could go to the full moon party. It was going to be big, I could feel it. We arrived at the harbour only for our travel luck to kick in again! Apparently we weren't booked on the boat, although we had a ticket. We were told to come back again at 5. When we finally got on the boat it was a pretty hair raising journey across to Koh Pha Ngan as it was really rough! Gutted nobody threw up though. We were coming into the harbour and there...

Okay I had written an absolute corker about Koh Tao and the power went! Great so I am really sorry if this is poor quality. Anyway as I was saying before I was rudely interrupted.

Anyway the boat pulls into the harbour and the only thing they give you to get off the boat is a small 2 ft wide piece of wood. I h...

Hong Kong airport is absolutely amazing. It even makes the top 10 tourist destinations in Hong Kong and that is saying something! There is an area where you can go and play games. But they have the best games in the world. There was one called Soul Surfer. It was really cool, you even got to stand on a surf board while playing the game! Surfing....ahh yes I remember that! We arrived into Bangkok after 2 hr flight which seemed to fly by! We got a taxi out of th...

So we have finally left the hustle and bustle of the cities and what a relief, I haven't seen the sea for freakin ages! We took an overnight bus from Bangkok down to a place called Surat Thani, it took about 12 hours, it was pretty damn tough as yet again the seats were designed for the smaller frame! We arrived at the port at 5.00 am to discover that the boat didn't actually leave until 9.30! Bloody great, we are in a dodgy little port in shorts and vest on the ...
