Date: 22nd April 2011 Place: Koh Phangan Weather: Perfect! Now at bearable 30'C and bright skies! Woke up at 8am. Sleep doesn't seem to happen in this week. I got dressed and went down to the pool where Aimee and Simon were. All the electricity was turned off so we didn't know if we could get breakfast or not and we were all really hungry. When Andrea came down we asked her to find out if we could and turned out they cook by gas so we could have all along!...

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.

I looked outside and it was raining ridiculously heavily so we decided to go down to breakfast a bit early to see if there was a change of plan at all. It stopped before we had to go out thankfully so it wasn't too much of an issue. After breakfast we walked through Bangkok to the Grand Palace which is where some ...

Date 17th April (day 2) Place: Bangkok Weather: absolutely boiling and gorgeous again J Well after going to bed super early last night I still slept in until 11.30. We had decided today to head down the pool which was free to use in the sister hostel to ours, and we met Vanessa, another girl on our tour, before heading down to it. It was gorgeous; we sat on a little shaded deck area which had cushion seats and little tables. We stayed there for a few hours...
