Caught a boat Ko Lanta today. Arrived at a hotel to find a shabby shed like wooden hut with holes all over. We hoped it would'nt be too windy as it looked like it would fall down at anytime. The bonus-it had a nice big pool and right on the beach. matt played beach football with the locals and we chilled out at the bar. The second day we hire a moped. I thought I was going to die, Matt didnt exactly understand the gears so I just held on tight and we hoped for th...

We caught a boat from Phuket to Phi Phi islands, an hour crossing and we arrived to a really pretty green crossing with palm trees and tropical beaches. We stayed in a hill side cabin and for the first time we had a swimming pool! Phi Phi was quaint with little market huts.

We feed them banannas and it was brillant watching them in their natural ...

Feel like a hard traveller today as no hot water and havent washed ...

Getting of the bus in Chaam was a bit different. No one seemed to speak any english as we were dropped off in the middle of nowhere and clever as we are we used our point it book to get a taxi to the resort. We found a nice and cheap beach front room and spent some time walking along the beach then went to dinner. The town has its own irish bar (they get everywhere) nice enough place but the whole town seemed like backpackers had never passed through. The locals ...
