Tom and I are now near Burma. After meeting Thailands angriest man we left Krabi and said by to Lin, who after waking Tom and I up at 6.00am found herself to be as popular as an Englishman in Kabul! About the time Lin was getting drenched in her Kayak our bus arrived in Khao Sok Park and we had to search for a hotel, the only benefit of walking round in a torrential downpoar in a rain forest was that you got a free shower. Once the rain stopped the hotel owners t...

Hi there, The flight from Krabi to Bangkok went smooth. Managed to locate the right bus pretty quickly at the airport to Bangkok's eastern bus terminal. My parents were quite amazed by Bangkok's hustle and bustle (I'm glad they didn't see Patpong though!). Got on another bus to Mae Pim, a small town of the east coast (for 136 Bath each!!!). Mae Pim is yet to face the tourism (only thai people go there) so it was quite a challenge to find a hotel, a restauran...

Made a school boy error when we set off to Phi Phi from Phuket. After a 30 minute taxi ride and just before boarding the boat Lin realised that we had lost our passports.

Anyway got to Phi Phi safely in the end! Went out in Phi Phi a few times. Had a couple of b...

After arriving in Phuket we took the worlds fastest mini-bus to Karon beach and found ourselves an awesome hotel (www.phuketgardenhome.com) for 11 pounds a night for the room! Chris your help with the packing really helped as those Disneyland ponchos saved the day when a tropical downpoar started! Tom arrived later on from Bangkok and he dragged us out to see the local ho's and ladyboys! They're litteraly in every bar! After purchasing some fake watches a...
