I obviously woke up with a hangover (yet again) however i headed to the Koh Samui beach to take a few photos without any other tourists - it was beautiful. We headed to catch the fast ferry to Koh Tao about 1pm and it was by far the worst form of transport invented by the Thai's. They have just had storms in the region and the journey was so rough that they handed out sick bags before we had even set foot on the boat. The first 30 seconds were entertaining but...

After a long taxi ride which was one of the most uncomfortable rides in history we ended up getting a 2.5 hour ferry ride to Koh Samui. We arrived about 1pm and headed for the hotel pool and sat there all afternoon drinking a few chang beers, We wanted to swim in the sea but the storms that they had had recently had ment the sea was a little dirty with planks of wood and plastic bags in there - it wasn't quite the paradise i had in mind!! After a short nap we...

In the evening that evening we just relaxed in the bar with a couple of beers before heading for an early night and late get up. Al...

However as what always happens i was peer pressured into drinking. Numerous pints later and whiskey buckets - one glass is horrib...

I arrived into Chang Mai in the early morning on Monday after an epic 14 hour train journey, although it did give us all time to get to know each other on the group. There is a mixed bag of people on the trip. On the first day we had a trip to see the local temple, which was very good and we all thought it was a much more spiritual temple to others we had seen. After a leisurely lunch we went to the Tiger Kingdom in Chang Mai. Although I had done all the tige...
