Yesterday we made our way back to Koh Tao. We were up early for the 6am bus, which apart from swerving and nearly tipping over, went pretty smoothly! It was still quite scary though as it did look like the bus had lost control! However, we made it to the pier in one piece and headed to Sairee Beach. We got a nice surprise when we arrived as we had been upgraded to a sea view dorm, which has the most incredible view other the beach! We also picked the beds closes...

Day two of songkran was just as crazy! When we went out for food in the morning it was much busier and we came back a lot wetter! We decided to spend a few hours at the pool before heading down in the early afternoon. The daytime is so much better than later in the evening! There are a lot less drunk westerners which makes it much nicer. We had an awesome time meeting loads of Thai people and getting involved in loads of water fights! We headed back up later in...

Today was the first official day of songkran. We went out in the morning to get some food and although there were a few people out and we didn't make it back completely dry, it was pretty quiet.

We stayed at the pool until the afternoon before heading back to the roo...

Today we spent the day by the pool, trying to top up our tans, but it is so hot in Bangkok at the moment! Tonight was the opening ceremony for songkran so we went out at about 4.30 to grab some stuff from 7/11 and quickly realised that we had made a mistake going out unarmed! We ended up bumping into Mark, who we had met on our first night in Bangkok and said we would be back for a drink once we had got our water guns, which we had bought this morning. We sat a...

Today we travelled back to Bangkok, ready for songkran, although we almost didn't make it! We got up and had planned to get a taxi at 9am, giving us an hour at the ferry port but instead decided to have some breakfast and get one at 9.30 instead. So after eating we found a taxi and asked to go to the pier. The driver helped us into the back and then walked off to have a chat with some nearby shop owner. We sat for 15 minutes, starting to have concerns about miss...
