So, Bangkok a second time round. Had I not needed a passport to the leave the country, I wouldn't have felt the need to go back to Bangkok but, once again, having my passport stolen proved to be a blessing in disguise. A lot of things wouldn't have happened had that handsy little Thai not helped themselves to my wallet - I would have gone back to Aus, to New Zealand, to LA and probably had a much longer journal. However the experiences I had in Thailand were pr...

24.3.11 Another rainy morning in Ao Nang as I made my way to the ferry which would take me to Ko Phi Phi, famous as the backdrop for 'The Beach'. I was quite excited but I couldn't hide my annoyance with the weather as I practically fell on my face boarding the ferry, walking along the deck and then again trying to find a seat. Rain was never my favourite; I have now learnt to LOATHE it. As if the rain wasn't dampening my spirits enough, my bag also decides to ...

The check out was easy, the ferry left 30minutes early so we didn't have to wait for long at all. We both got seats and after a very quick (and pointless) bus ride we were back in ...

So... the day had finally come. The reason why Poppy was still in Thailand with a horrible burn, and why we were sitting in a hut near a yoga platform. The Full Moon Party. In order to prepare for such an 'epic' evening we decided to take the morning easy by walking along the beach, playing some cards, reading our books... followed by a bottle of gin and some more of the 'American Office'. All very civilised of course. By 10:30pm we were piled into the back o...
