After the rainstorm and the electricity blowing, it was pitch black for about 10 minutes before it started to get light. At 6.45am we boarded the boat and sat at the front. There were seats downstairs but we decided once the sun came out the top deck would be nice, it was! I sat on my inflatable pillow with my feet hanging over the side of the boat, watching the sunrise over a nearby island with the breeze going past it was pretty much paradise! I kept falling ...

We set our alarms for 9am so that we would have time to change our money, go to Boots and have breakfast before going to Unseen Travel. I headed to Boots and spent nearly 1000 baht (£20) - so much money. I got some Soltan Once suncream for the islands, you only need to apply it once every 6 hours and you can go in the sea for 40 minutes in that six hours. One thing I hate about the beach is having to constantly reapply suncream and the sand sticking to me, so I...

We were picked up by a Tuk Tuk from our guesthouse in Siem Reap at 7.30am to get our bus to Bangkok. He took us to another guesthouse where there were lots of other people waiting to get the bus. After a while a coach arrived but it was nearly full, so people started to panic that it had been overbooked (it is definitely possible over here). The man in charge was getting angry because everybody was understandably asking him questions. He then started to load some...

A long, long day! We got up early as Parn and Ken were coming to pick us up at 8am, and dropped our laundry off at reception, specifying that it must not be shrunk! We tried to find somewhere close by for some breakfast but failed so just waited to be picked up. The first place we went to was an elephant show about one hour from Chiang Mai. Before the show we fed the elephants with bananas and sugarcane, and had our picture with them - they had been trained to...

I'm back from the jungle! Today was a really nice day, I had about 10 or 12 hours sleep but it wasn't that good because my mattress was pretty much non existent and I was basically sleeping on bamboo. We got up at about 10am and had some eggs and toast for breakfast before setting off on our final day of trekking. We didn't trek for long before reaching the biggest waterfall yet, there were lots of people there from other treks too. Rocky told us we weren't all...
