Today we went out on the bikes, just us girls. It was the first time Jo had ridden a bike so it was a pretty slow start, she was petrified and the roads in Ko Chang are not great. Ko Chang being a mountainous island is full of sharp turns and steep steep hills, they are more like shear drops. We managed it to another beach on the island where we stopped for lunch and fruit shakes. I've had a bad cold and sore throat for the last couple of days, but today it's at...

Today has been a really lazy day, Alicia and I spent the whole day on what appears to be our own private beach. There was not one person in sight until Phil, Ben and Nick (guys we met in Pai) who are also on the island came over to see us at lunchtime. Our resort has a pool which overlooks the sea, a beach bar and restaurant so we really didn't need to move at all. The sea is so warm so we all went for a dip in the sea before time in the pool. This was literally ...

Last night there was only me and a polish guy named Derek in our six man dorm so it was really peaceful. The added bonus was that Derek left at 7am so I then had the place to myself for a few hours before it was time for me to leave. I had a nice long shower without the worry that someone else was waiting for it, I packed my bag again and then went in to town for breakfast. I had booked on the 12:30pm bus from Sien Reap to Phnom Phem, they collected me from my ...
