I think I am in love with Krabi...the beaches are just incredibly beautiful. I was kind of expecting that, but I couldn't have imagined just how perfect. Actually stayed in a lovely hotel...for a change, finally intrepid gets something right! Turned on the Tv and got dawsons creek which made me ridiculously happy:-) Don't worry I didn't just watch tv for the whole time (there was a power cut at one point haha).Went to this bar on the beach c...

Just about to leave Bangkok on a 13 hr train to Chang Mai...Than god it's air conditioned, or so they've told us but it seems thai people although v nice have a bit of a tendency to lie!
