After around 7 hours in the airport at Singapore, we departed at about quarter to 12 on Tuesday night. We weren't particularly looking forward to the 12 hour flight to Helsinki but we were both excited to be coming home to see friends and family. The flight wasn't the greatest with the seats not being particularly comfortable and the choice of films was rubbish. This didnt bother Beth as she was soon fast asleep once we had been fed. To be fair I wasn't too f...

The rain had eventually stopped when we left Krabi for the airport early on Saturday morning. The airport at Krabi isn't huge and there was literally 5 shops in the departure lounge as we waited to board our flight to Singapore. We flew with Air Asia and the flight was fine. It took around an hour and twenty minutes although there was quite a bit of turbulence as we passed through some menacing looking clouds as we came into land at Singapore. It took an absol...

We left Krabi on Tuesday morning for 10 nights back in Koh Lanta which had been our first stop in Thailand back at the end of February. When we left Krabi in a minivan the weather was awful and it took around 3 hours to get to Koh Lanta. We booked a bungalow which was about 100m from the beach which we had enjoyed so much last time we were here. However, it is now the low season here and as we quickly discovered, the beach was pretty much unusable. The sea wa...

We left Koh Phagnan last Monday to head back to Ko Samui. The transfer from the hotel to the ferry terminal was a bit mental when we were put into the back of a pickup truck and the driver proceeded to drive at about 60mph along the dodgy roads. Feeling lucky to have survived the road trip, we caught the ferry which took around half an hour and reached our new hotel in the same resort we had previously stayed in Ko Samui. We loved the hotel we were in as it ha...

I'm writing this on our final night in Ko Phagnan after 3 weeks here. We can't believe how quickly our time here has went and we've loved every minute. We got the ferry from Ko Samui on a Monday when the weather was pretty awful. The crossing was a bit choppy but thankfully it only took half an hour and the transfer to our hotel was only around 20 minutes up the west coast of the island. We have stayed in a bungalow at Sun Moon Star Resort at Haad Yao beach a...
