O wow the Perhentian islands are sooooo beautiful!! Arrived after a long journey from Penang by boat and then bus. After wading through the water with our backpacks to get to the beach we checked in to our bargain cabin (1pound50 each a night) The bathrooms where a little shack in the middle which where like a piece of corrugated iron and a shower head. The added features where the frogs that loved to sit in the shower with you, what a bonus. When we checked in w...

Well that wasn't the best journey ever! We travelled from Phuket all the way to Georgetown by minibus, and it took roughly 11 hours. Hence, I was a little tired by the end and as all my family know, I get a little grumpy when i'm tired. Then to make it worst when we told the driver where our hostel was, he laughed and asked if we wanted to stay at one he knew, mmm... maybe we should have realised something here, but how bad could it be?.... Bad, very Bad is the a...

After a quick stop over in Krabi we arrived in Koh Phi Phi and met our porter at the pier, (yes I did say porter, how posh) and it was off to our bungalow.

Spent the first night in the north but didn't get chance do anything before we set of towards the south, and we settled in to our new bungalow and home for the full moon party. Spent our first night on the beach with the others from the bungalows. Cant believe it, come all this way and half the people in our bungalows are from Leeds. The next day was th...

Arrived at Bangkok Airport with no problems, I would like to say the same about the taxi to the hostel but I cant. He got us lost and it took longer to find the hostel than it did to fly from Hong Kong. The next day we went on our way to Khoasan Road (the backpackers street). It is really full of backbackers, stalls, bars and the odd ladyboy, they are not as easy to spot as I thought they would. Got a tuk tuk to the grand palace the dodgy b***** tried telling us ...
