Collected washing, paid the bill for the accommodation and set out to the pier by long tail boat. Took a boat to the mainland, which unfortunately caused Darren to be ever so slightly sea sick. Continued straight onto a bus, which after 8 hours or so, arrived in Khao San Road, Bangkok. We were oober lucky to come across a really cheap hotel with air-con and tv. Only down point was that the beds were so rigid that it was like sleeping on bricks and the walls we...

Up MEGA early since I had a booked a couple of dives with Georgie. There was news that there had been 5m long black tips spotted a certain dive site recently so I got that particular one booked. Got picked up by long tail boat, then onto a big diver's boat to head to the pinnacle, where we were diving. Unfortunately the visibility was really poor since the full moon had just past, so the tides were rough, causing murkiness in the water. Still managed to see so...

After such a heroic act, he then dragged me out of bed to get some fresh air, in the hope the nasty illness w...

Got some essentials done, ie laundry and hid from the on-coming rain, taking cover in the restuarant. That night we head out for dinner by the pier and had a delish Italian. There was a pretty wacky couple staying at Sai Thong and we could see them in a nearby restauarant having an oober tiff. The guy stormed away an...

Wednesday Nice sleep in, breakfast. They made yummy pancakes there and great fruit salad- yum! We soon became addicted to their pricey lemon shakes- they were delish!! As well as the tuna sandwiches- our favourite while we were there. Had an oober chilled out day- reading, sunbathing and snorkelling on the best of the three beaches. Darren had fun swinging on the awesome swing, which was attatched to 2 huge palm trees. We were both a bit dubious about the...
