So yesterday I left koh samui and headed on the ferry for koh phangan. Once I arrived on koh phangan a man approached me and told me he would charge 100 baht to take me to my hotel so I thought that was a good price so went with him. It wasn't until we got to his mode of transport that I realised I would be going by motorbike! So myself, my two backpacks and the driver piled on the bike! Thankfully he was a good driver so we got there safely! The place where I w...

So this last week has been brilliant. Finding a good honest friend is one thing, but learning that you can be with that friend 24/7 and love every minute of it shows a lot about your friendship. I have loved having Abby in Thailand with me for the last week. We have had such a great time.

People exchanging items at the local market, a man arrives with a bunch of live chickens hanging upside down on the back of his moped,...

This past weekend has been absolute bliss. On Friday we all went out for a few drinks in town which was great fun and then Saturday, Chris (a fabulous gay that I have met at the volunteer house) and I went to a hotel for the night! It was beautiful, we were given a fruit shake on arrival and then were taken to our room. I had a real clean bathroom and a real bed, I was so so happy! So I enjoyed my first nice shower since getting to Cambodia....there were no bugs,...
