Hey everyone. Krabi has sort of grown on me, there are far too many western children here for my liking. Why aren't they in school? But at least the place has internet cafes and massage parlours and nice restaurants. Me and jo went kayaking yesterday. My shoulders are absolutely killing me today but it was worth it. We paddled across to an island which later was completely submerged at high tide. We saw hundreds of tiny crabs and some star fish. Then we took the...

After lanta, krabi is a definite disappointment. It is so touristy we could be in tenerife. When we got to our bungalows the guy took us to a really nice one and then came back and said that we hadn't paid for air con and so took us to a different room.

Then we got a bus into the town and then a coach for 3 hours down to krabi. Then a minibus drove down the coast and went on 2 vehicle ferries to get to koh lanta. Then we got...

Hey everyone, sorry its been a while. We took a sleeper train from bangkok to chaing mai, actually very comfortable. Got chatting to the couple opposite, she was from new york and he was from ireland and they met travelling in sydney 5 years ago. They were really nice. When we got to chaing mai, we were picked up by a tuk tuk. The notice with our names on said HELENWAY and WILBOR. I was in stitches. in the afternoon we went to a handicraft place where they dec...
