It took us the best part of 2 days on boats, buses and on the back of open air trucks (a bit dodgy) to reach Phi Phi and when we arrived exhausted and fed up it stank and looked pretty skanky. Our room wasn't the best either with cold running water which also stank, a small rusty fan and a few resident pets, namely cockroaches, lizards and plenty of mosquitos - nice... Needless to say we were in a bit of a mood by this point! Thankfully the lads that we've been t...

We have found the sun at last!! Thailand is brilliant, the sun is beaming, the sea is so warm its like a bath and so blue its stunning and best of all its all so stupidly cheap - i love it! Admittably though first arriving in Bangkok at 2.30 in the morning with no where to stay was a bit of a concern. The place was filthy and it stank! After walking the streets, backpacks and all, for a while with no sign of available accomodation and in desperate need ...

Fine by me i can think of worse nicknames! We...

Hey from Byron Bay! This is the best place ever - loads of shops, surfers, bars, cafes, a gorgeous beach and a top nightclub called 'Cheeky Monkeys' where we've spent most of our evenings!! We were jammy enough to secure our own apartment here for the same price as typical backpacker accomodation which was fab since the hostel we first stayed at was bug infested and completely freaked me out! Outside toilets and showers = lots of spiders NOT GOOD! ...
