We caught yet another boat from Langkawi to Penang in Malaysia. We thought the boat had broken down again as we just randomly stopped in the middle of the sea seemingly for no reason, but then it carried on again! Weird! We were staying in a 3 person room again and went out in the evening to get some food from a local food court. There was loads of food to choose from and we all wanted to try the local food (although I think I ended up with a biryani!). We w...

Beth and I flew to Bangkok on the 15th March from Hanoi. Weirdly we both had visions of the plane crashing and neither of us could relax but we didn't tell each other that until we'd got off the plane! Very weird! Luckily that didn't happen and we landed safely in Bangkok. The political protests were in full swing and the red shirts were all over the city. Stupidly, I was wearing a red tshirt when I landed in Bangkok, much to the amusement of the bus driver!...

Cat, Beth and me caught another speedboat to Langkawi in Malaysia from Ko Lipe. It was only a 45 minute boat trip! We arrived in a harbour surrounded by mountains and greenery and it was raining!! I wanted to go back to the Thai islands as soon as I saw rain! We caught a taxi to where we were staying and we stayed right on the beach again! We've been spoilt with amazing beaches! Luckily the rain stopped! We stayed in Langkawi for 2 nights. We carried on o...

Cat, Beth and me travelled together from Ko Tao to Ko Lanta. Everyone else had gone home by this point! It was sad saying goodbye to everyone and Ko Tao too! Lots of good memories there! We only stayed in Ko Lanta for one night and went back to 'Thai Cat', our favourite restaurant! We used Ko Lanta as a stop off on the way to Malaysia! We thought it would give us a break on the way but it just ended up being really expensive on boats and accommodation! We ...

Our bigger group went onto Ko Tao from Ko Phangan and we had a really lovely boat to take us there! We decided to stay at 'Bans' dive resort as we'd heard really good reviews about them from several people on our travels. The resort was right on the beach again and the beach was stunning! The first day we were there Rich, John, Beth and me got kayaks out and went kayaking in the sea. It was so incredibly hot out there but the sea was so clear and we could see...
