Hi all, It was a short days stop in Bangkok but I managed to go and get measured at Manhattans Suit makers and pick materials to have two suits and two shirts made. Job interviews and weddings are waiting for me when I get home...! That evening we left at 17.30 and arrived in Surat Thani at 06.30. Then it was across the country to Krabi which took 2.5 hours and finally onto the boat for another two hours to Kho Phi Phi Don. The sea off Krabi is magnificent with...

Hi all, I'd arranged to meet Amy (who I met in Malasyia, then Borneo and Thailand) on Kho Chang as she had flown to Thailand on Wednesday the 7th March. Thus our decision to stay on Lonely Beach in Nature Resort in particular. What a decision, thanks Amy as it was quality. A lot more touristy than Kho Mak but where wouldn't have been?....! It was a lovely strip of beach and Nature Resort had lots of character with an amazing BBQ fish restaurant at night,...

We arrived on Kho Chang and to our surprise there wasn't anyone to meet us to try and sell us accommodation, taxi, fruit etc etc So we had to speak to a local that agreed to taxi ...

The odd sighting of an elephant too! We shortly arrived in Pai and I took an instant liking to the pla...

Hi, Well, after a restless nights travel, we arrived in Chaing Mai very early. We were dropped off about 20 mins out side of town where we were hearded into smaller mini vans. On the way into town one of the bags that was meant to be secured on the roof came flying past the window. Someone yelled at the driver to stop so we could go and get it. It was a really busy road and how all the traffic missed the bag I will never know. I found this pretty funny until I ...
