Well me and brett left Ko Sumui to head to Bangkok to get to Chaing Mai. After a sleepless night on the toilet I wasn't feeling too great and we had a long journey ahead of us. I ate nothing that day and we finally made it on to the overnight train 6 hrs after setting off. Well the train was pretty impressive. We had top bunks as they are cheaper and this bit just dropped down to turn into beds. I had a Thai girl below me who was keen to pratice her English but I...

The trip for Ko Sumui was supposed to be in a VIP bus but unsurprisingly we ended up crammed in a mini bus for 9 hrs. Oh what fun! Me and Brett were squashed into the front together one of us in the seat the other on my engine trying to steer clear of the gear stick. We got the boat over to Ko Sumui which thankfully was pretty smooth and arrived at our nice bungalows right on the beach! We spent most of our time on the island lazing around on the beach and eating...

The coral was good but not as impressive as the Great Barrier Reef. I probably stayed in for about half hour but got ...

After Malaysia Phuket was a welcome touristy break. There were tourists everywhere and a disgusting amount of white middle aged and older men with 20 something Thai girls. The beach was really nice and we did a day tour where we went to a snake show, went on an elephant trek, saw pinapples in the ground (I thought they grew on trees) and tasted some durian which tastes better than it smells but I wasn't keen on it. The elephant trek was very good but quite fr...

Well we went to Penang for 3 nights and went up Penang Hill which was good but would have been better if we hadn't had a massive downpour and mist so we could see stuff. The train ride up wa slightly hair raising and we were packed in like sardines. We also had to queue for ages to get down and loads of people were pushing in. I think we really are the only country that knows how to queue properly. We also went on a tour around Penang which was good and we saw al...
