30/12/09 Koh Phi Phi to Phuket We had a ferry going at 9am to Phuket, Thailands largest island connected to the mainland by a bridge. We were waiting at 8 when the tuk tuk arrived for the journey to the pier. We walked down the pier and got on the very full boat. We travelled out of the port for about twenty minutes and then the boat came to a stop. Noone said anything was wrong but the engine didn't go out of turnover so we thought maybe there was an engine pro...

24/12/09 Krabi to Koh Phi Phi We checked out from the P guesthouse and after a small discussion over payment for the room we were collected by taxi to drive to the port. When we arrived at the port there was quite a long walk to the departures which was a pleasure with our heavy bags !!!

The ferry should have taken about an hour but it took two hours. The driver was w...

11/12/09 Bangkok to Koh Tao We had a night train booked to Koh Tao with a ferry early morning too. We woke up and Phil went to the Post Office to get a box while Liz was in the shower. We packed up two parcels after we'd popped to the shops to get more "nice things" to quote Phil. We went off to the Post Office and had a parcel sent by airmail for xmas and another by slow boat which might get home before us !! We went to see Wat Pho, Bangkoks largest W...
