12th December 2009 - 14th December 2009: We had to catch an overnight train from KL to Singapore, however due to our new found spontaneous nature instead of booking a week in advance we left it until the day before travelling (so crazy we know!!) to book the tickets - ok well not really that spontaneous in the traditional sense but it is for us. However this decision backfired somewhat and left us without our preferred choice, which was the comfortable second ...

After arriving at our hostel we decided to check out Patong Beach Road, the main part of town where all the bars and clubs are located, and about half way up stumbled a...
