Got on our last ever overnight train to Bangkok. Despite nit speaking any Thai and eating mouth burning curry from the station we did it. Downside, the bed was covered in dead bugs, the window had no curtain and we were next to a proper Danish hippy. He was wearing tie dye, crystals and told us about his spiritual experiences on Koh Samui. Turns out these experiences were aided by magic mushrooms, whoda thunk it?! Made it back to the hostel where if all starte...

Spent a couple of days at Kata beach in Phuket. Lots of Russians in speedos is about all there was to see. Enjoyed spending time on the beach and in our £15 luxury room :) Booked our boat and headed for Phi Phi. As the ferry pulls into the island it's like arriving in paradise.

The journey was only supposed to take 2.5 hours. I think the Thais need to adjust their watches. Had no accommodation sorted but with a lonely planet under my arm we sorted out a couple of beach huts. Basic, but cheap! Basically spent 4 days chilling out on the beach and eating dinne...

Had to say goodbye to our little tour family which was too sad, so we all booked into a hostel for 2 nights together. I don't have much to report other than we drank buckets of Sangsom and bought tourist tat down Khao San road as a result. I will almost definitely have to come back in the future because we have failed at doing any culture in bangkok. It's agreed that we are officially templed out. L X
