Phuket to Kualar Lumpar- "The Journey" The day started off well enough, I woke up on time and me and Jess caught a taxi to the bus terminal at 7.45am. The bus to Had Yai left on time at 8.30am and the arrived in Had Yai at 3.30pm. The journey was pleasant enough as we made a few stops along the way to break the journey. Once in Had Yai before I got off the bus as always I was surrounded by people offereing taxi, motorbike and just shouting "whe...

Today I am on Kho Samui island. After getting up at 8.00am and getting some breakfast I went to hire a motorbike for the day. The motorbike cost 200 baht for the day and as I had never driven a motorbike before me and Shiraz (who i met on the train from Bangkok) practised somewhere quiet for 10 mins.
