Hello everyone, the last time i wrote i was about to visit the Phi Phi Islands! Well i did and they were spectacular not to mention a real party place. They are probably the most beautiful islands I have seen in Thailand. Surrounded with turquoise waters lapping up against white cliffs and sandy beaches, this was pure paradise. We spent around a week here of which we went kayaking and sunbathed when it didn't rain! On the island the tsunami devastation was s...

After Phnom Pehn we headed south to the cost and spent 4 days in sihinoukville! The...
