We went on a big boat to the edge of the beach and then had to get on a longtail to the shoreline. This was pretty annoying as some people do not seem to understand how to not rock a boat (its not that hard really) one guy nearly tipped it when leaning over to take a photo. You get a bit wet on the jump out of the boat but Ash was the perfect gent and carried the big bags to the beach. We walked around looking for somewhere to stay and found a treehouse type ro...

Okay what can we say? We heart Koh Tao! We decided to go back as we were feeling a bit tired, run down, so thought we would spend some quality time at our fave AC resort at Sairee Beach. So we got on a long tail at 7am at Railay which was AMAZING! The sun was rising and there was a beautiful light all around us and the ocean was still.

He had left it on the plane (s***!!! along with his iPod double s***) So he ran back into the baggage place, s...

we got up and checked out of chungking mansions which was a bit of a relief! the hostel was fine and the room was fine but the lift was well dodgy and the building so busy we were glad to be rid of it! we had a short walk with our bags to the next place we were staying called the hop inn. it is a boutique kind of hostel. We were so happy with our room which featured a sculpture of a giraffe and a very cool bathroom! See Photos. We were pleased that the hostel...
