n the morning I woke Cassie up and we jumped on the boat to Koh Lanta. Had a good chat...like all of our chats have been with her J She's great company, a great laugh and we seem to get on really well. We strolled around the village and down the beach; stopped for a drink and ended up chatting there for 3 hours...we grabbed some dinner and chatted back at the hostel. She also attempted to teach me guitar - I now know a few chords. YEY. The following day was m...

So the ferry/bus was an interesting experience. It was an overnight ferry that left at 9pm. I did not expect to see tiny thin mattresses covering the entire two floors of the ferry/boat. I was stuck right in the middle by the engine. It was roasting, extremely noisy and to top it off I was sleeping next to some crazy frizzy haired old lady! I was not too pleased. I think this is the first time I got a little frustrated with the transport situation. I could...

We were people watching on the side of the street with our street food (Pad Thai for just 30 baht and corn on the cob for 30 baht) as well as slurping on a mango and strawberry fruit shake - umm...delicious!

Yes, we made fun of her name, but she gets it all the time so wasn't too impressed with us taking the mick! lol. Our first Thai bbq...and it was so much fun! These places we eat in are more like street food, you don't really see restaurants around. Most of them are just kitchens and then you eat outside right next to the bus...

Sawadee! (Hello in Thai) :) So the days seem to fly by, I thought I best catch up on the past few days! Friday was spent with Rezza and Stew visitng Wat Arun, a big temple (yes another temple!) that you can climb up and see the views of Bangkok. I was relying on Rezza getting us to this temple as I must admit I did no research for this, but he had talked to a girl who explained how to get there. So we set off, grabbed some musli with fruit and yoghurt and the...
