We arrived in Singapore at 3.30 in the morning (with about 3hrs sleep on the bus) and having not booked a hostel we knew we were unlikely to get a room until at least 7am. We knew the hostel we wanted to go to (but didn't know it's address) so we caught a taxi there - after driving around aimlessly with the driver asking us if every hostel we went past was the one we wanted to go to we quickly realised he didn't have a clue. So out we jumped paying half fare as h...

Well the journey from Thailand to Malaysia was a mission to say the least. It goes something like this..... Ben and myself decided we would get a bus to Hat Yai in Thailand (which is the main transport hub) so we could try and get a direct bus from there to the Cameron Highlands as the Cameron highlands are half way to Kuala Lumpur.

Meaning we could move on the next day to Krabi. Just as we ...

Next on the trail was Kanchanaburi for which we knew we only had one day to do all our sight seeing as we had a flight to make from Singapore (which we have already put back) and lots still to do after. Arriving at Kanchanaburi the bus driver tells us to get on another bus - feeling there is something wrong we decide to find out where the bus is going after 10mins of speaking to the driver (who doesn't speak english) and talking to some guy on a phone we fin...
