We were supposed to leave Samui at 6.30am, but the tuk tuk didn't come to get us until gone 7. The tuk tuk took (thats sounds stupid!) us to the ferry port where we got on a bus to go to another ferry port to go over to Donsak (Yes it was that confusing!). Anyway the ferry ride was an hour and a half and then the bus drove us to what we assume was Surat Thani and just left us at this travel agency which wasn't ours. We were sent up to another one (apparen...

Once we got to the train station at Surat Thani (at the fun hour of 6.40am) we got a bus, then a ferry to Koh Samui. I managed to get sunburnt as we were sat on the top deck and I only thought to put suncream on the bottom of my arms and my feet. It seemed logical at the time!We paid far too much for a mini bus to our hotel. Got there and there was a massive crowd of people around the front desk and we waited forever to get our room. There was some mix up with th...

The overnight train last night was a not as nice as the one we took before, and the timing was rubbish as we had to leave mid afternoon.

My feet are actually black. After leaving our backpacks at the station we got the subway and the skytrain to the boat dock. St...

We flew from Laos to Chiang Mai on the 19th, arrived mid afternoon, got to the hostel and checked in and then went to the station to book out overnight train tickets to go back to Bangkok. There were none available for the day we wanted so we had to stay an extra day (not complaining though!). We had ice cream and a drink and then decided it would be good to book all the trains we needed for the next week so we did that and got a tuk tuk to the night bazzar. Felt...

We arrived in Luang Prabang yesterday after a fun five hour bus journey in the sweltering heat. By the time we arrived it was about 3pm. We found a place to stay finally, in a wooden guest house which did look like it was about to burn down. We attempted to find our way around Luang Prabang with a map on the back of a leaflet for a bar, that wasn't a good plan as we got completely lost. We ate in the first restaurant we saw and then attempted to find the nigh...
