So Koh Phangan: laid-back traveller party island! Which is pretty much all i did. In the days i lazed around on the beaches and swam in the turqouise seas and at night i partied till it got light. To be honest i don't really know what i was running on, did 4 nights of dancing on the beach with about 8 hours sleep total between them. Absolutley loved it. Met lots of cool people and shared many a vodka-red bull bucket with them. As the girls were about to leave t...

Alright so Hannah left and I spent the rest of the day finding my way around Kathmandu and working out a plan for the coming two weeks. The tourist district of Kathmandu is insane, outdoor shops, outdoor agencies, restaurants, tiger balm salesmen and coffee table bookshops everywhere!

After Phi Phi we went to rainy Phang-Nga a quiet town where we, strangely for Thailand, saw very few Westerners.

We went sea kayaking through caves and had a delicous Thai lunch in a local fishing village. Next stop was Koh Sok national park the ...

How ever night Sam got very sick she was found collapsed and hyperventerlating in the bathroom by the lovely Thai ladies who immediatly came and got us. She basically lost all control at both ends, when she was lying on the bathro...

So Tom and i said goodbye in Nepal, both excited but a little sad to leave each other. The journey went very smoothly all the way to Bangkok and i went straight to bed but couldn't sleep much as i was so excited about seeing Sam and Kathryn! The next morning the ladies arrived, all pretty exhausted and smelly from 36 hours of travelling. After they'd had a good clean and a nap we went and had some yummy Thai food then watched a few matched of Thai boxing. We d...
