This city is the epitome of organised chaos. You would never have known that the place was up to it's arse in water just a few days ago. The odd boarded up business, and occasional smell of rancid water and that's it. When you think of the amount of damage the floods did to this city you really have to respect the clean up operation. We came to Bangkok for a combined birthday/Christmas party with a load of friends that we met on our travels. Had a fantastic nigh...

Well here we are back in Koh Lanta. I do love this island. I am sure there are more Rastas here than in the whole of Jamaica, and maybe even more of the ole Rastafarian Old Holbourn. In a particular pub you can even order a ready rolled bifter off the menu. Mongs, great name for a bar that sells weed, and magic mushrooms, and yes that is the owners real name. The place really is something else, more a shrine to Hendrix, than a normal boozer. I could happily spend...

Koh Lipe. The world just doesn't get any prettier than this. Malaysia to Thailand by boat is the most amazing border crossing ever. Pull up on a speed boat, long tail boat takes us to the shore, we jump off into the bluest of blue water, then take a ten second walk to the customs hut. The beach here really is something else. White sand, clear water, a billion tropical fish swimming round your knees. The rest of the islands we have seen are mere pretenders, Lipe i...

Is it my imagination or have I finally found something worth living for... Langkawi, tax free cigarettes and alcohol. That said, it is not one of my favourite islands to be honest, very much a holiday destination, sea full of speed boats, jet skis, and banana boats. The highlight was Teresa taking on lead vocals with a band in a packed nightclub. Another brick in the wall will never sound the same again. A couple of days later I was up on stage murdering redempti...

We came to Malaysia to do a visa run and maybe get a few days detox. That was three weeks ago. We thought that what with this being a Muslim country there would be no booze available... We were wrong. Beer is very expensive, brandy is dangerously cheap. £5 for a half decent litre bottle is just asking for trouble. The first hostel we stayed at in George Town was f***ing nasty! The room resembled the toilet from Trainspotting, and with all the banging and scream...
