Hello all, Sukhothai was very pretty, and is split into an old, and a new town.. and the new town was quite nice with a couple of market stall covered streets and some brilliant restaurants. The old town was lovely, but we'll talk about that in a bit.... =) On our first day, we got there pretty late in the afternoon, and as soon as we stepped off the bus we had a guy promoting his guesthouse to us... usually we just walk away from these people as they can be a ...

A tiny island, encircled with white sandy beaches, rocky peaks and covered in untouched rainforest. ...

Hello to all, Wow, we're actually starting to catch up on everything now... crazy how much there is that you 'need' to do after being away from modern luxuries such as a computer for a couple of weeks. Half tempted to become armish and live in the woods lol! After leaving Cherating, we thought we would break up our trip to Pulau Kapas by stopping in a small village (kampung) called Rantau Abang for a couple of nights. We thought it would be a cool place to chil...
