I had one more night in Koh Phi Phi which wasn't a bad night to be fair. I went to a bar called the "Reggae Bar" which had a ring in the bar in which anyone could step up and have a fight. It was quite entertaining. Next morning I was more than happy to get out of there. I had bought a ticket to Phuket so thought I might as well head over there and have a quick 24 hours on the island. I booked into a 5 star absolute beast of a hotel and enjoyed a very chilled ou...

I'm currently sat on a beach which is pure paradise, still in Koh Phi Phi. It's my last night tonight and I'm still contemplating where I will hit next. I have mixed feelings about this place. It is absolutely stunning, there's no doubt about that. I arrived yesterday by boat and the journey across was fascinating. One minute I was lying on the upperdeck listening to a bit of Chaka Demus and Pliers, soaking up the sunshine and the next I was seeking shelter to tr...

Krabi Town isn't that big really and it seems to be just a stopover point on the Andaman coast that people visit, prior to hitting the islands. Which is exactly what I have done.

I had to see a doctor in Bangkok because of a bi...

Kanchanaburi lies about 80 miles to the west of Bangkok and my main reason of wanting to go was to pay my respect at the Allied Cemeteries and to see the death railway bridge. It took a good few hours to get there though, using the skytrain and then a little mini bus. I saw what I wanted to see as soon as I got there; it certainly was a very humbling experience. Deaw had her friend pick us up and she was then basically duty driver for the day which was good. Her...

So, I've decided to write about some of the things I am seeing/getting up to. The main reason for this is because I was having a beer and chat with my old man prior to flying out to Bangkok, reminiscing about some of the funny stories I had told him from my early days in the Merchant Navy (16/17 years old) in Mexico and Canada. And I had completely forgotten about them which obviously is a shame. So, by writing down what I am getting up to I can look back when I'...
