We couldn't wait to leave this morning, a hospital trip was definitely on the cards with Matt still not feeling himself. We thought a second opinion apart from Google was needed. With insurance documents in hand we got a boat to Krabi, checked our bags into a hotel and headed to the hospital. There was not a private hospital in Krabi so we bit the bullet and arrived at the general one. First impressions were not good when we weren't sure where to go and walked in...

The normal truck pick up started the day off as we hung on for our lives to get to the ferry port. After a quick hours boat journey, we transferred to a waiting long tailed boat in the middle of the Andaman Sea which would take us to the shore. After a conversation moments before about how we have never seen a dolphin in Thailand and how if we would have been in Australia we would have been on constant lookout, a fin surfaced right next to our boat and a lonely d...

Matt is back on form today and feeling more himself. We were still on takeout food from our favourite restaurant as Matt still isn't eating properly.

Because we have no bowls or spoons, he has to ram in a mouthful before taking a large swig of the cream, using his mouth as the mixing vessel. It's not a pleasant sight. But the poor kid hasn't eaten for 2 days, least it sho...

Today was meant to be the end of our 13 days holiday on Koh Lanta however after a night filled with hot sweats, cold towels, paracetamol and lack of sleep we decided to put our journey to Koh Jum on hold. Today we found out how kind people can be here., we were able to change the dates of our boat and next accommodation so that we wouldn't lose any money. The first must was to upgrade to air con room to try and cool the heat coming from Matt. Money was no option ...
