We couldn't have got a taxi there as theyre not accessible by road. Part way through the trip we met this guy travelling alone called paul and he decided to come with us. The journey was fine whilst we were still in town, it was when we got to the off road pa...

Date: 24th April 2011 Place: Koh Phangan Weather: I will tell you when its not hot Well most of today was really written on yesterdays blog.

Date: 21st April 2011 Place: Kho Sok National Park to Koh Phangan Weather: Boiling boiling boiling (as always) Today I was woken up by the sounds of people jumping in the lake. It was a gorgeous day and the paranoia from the night had gone. It was quite rushed to get ready and have breakfast as we had to leave by 8 sharp.
