So we leave sunny laos and are back in thailand where it's raining!!! Not acceptable our driver is our favourite type of people we have met while travelling: an Asian rasta! Seriously they are the best, in his half Jamaican half thai voice he points out a few places on the way and gives us his version of his favourite Bob Marley song! We check in the hotel which we realise is miles away from the centre! Brill. Later we head out to find a tuk tuk or taxi to get us...

2 nights in phuket and we check into our LUXURY hotel which is not only the nicest but the cheapest hotel we've stayed in yet at just £3 a night! Aircon and English tv is so good we don't leave the room for the first day! Whoops and when we do it's to get Pizza Hut! Awful travellers! The next day we are slightly better and walk down to the beach and round the market later we go to the huge shopping centre for some window shopping and bowling! Also we finally get...

We go to a hotel pool round the corner which over looks the ocean, perfect cure for a hangover, this and half a c...

Relatively smooth journey to phi phi although climbing from long tail boat to ferry with all out bags proved to be quite difficult as the ferrys can't come all the way to the docks this also made the journey slightly longer but overall a good journey. When we arrived all tourists had to pay 20 baht to enter! No idea why! Something about keeping the island clean, who knows! Again we have to walk to the other side of the island although we were offered taxis which ...
