Now we weren't going to do a post for little things but I'm Making an exception. for people that havent drank Chang, it is common to experience a slightly playful stomach the next morning, regardless of how any or few you drink. Chang, an hours sleep and an incredibly choppy sea do not go hand in hand. An hour and a half of up, down, left and right, with sick bags being handed round for fun, it was not a pleasant experience. It's worth noting that neither of us...

Island hoping was the plan for the day at railay and a nice early start to get the long tail boat at the docks. All the islands we were seeing today were uninhabited but expectedly full of tourists. After arriving at poda island for a quick dip and picture stop we headed to chicken island (named because of the rock that looks like a chicken head) for some snorkelling.

On arrival we were met by Mink, the host at the treehouse and she showed us to our wooden hideaway, bamboo house, a lovely little wooden cabin backing onto our own natural pool and waterfall. After exploring the gr...
