Day 47 – 50 Phuket Boat and bus journey to Phuket was fairly smooth and we found our second choice accommodation pretty easily too… On On Hotel… yes the place where Leo stayed from the film. Accidentally got pissed midday in a little cafe, which was eventful but this didn’t stop us from trekking around town (I got my beard trimmed badly) and then on a 5k mission to a Central Shopping Mall. We had planned on researching into a net book/notepad but ended u...

Day 45 Ko Phi Phi We got an early boat to Ko Phi Phi, and arrived around 10am. It is absolutely beautiful. Turquoise coloured sea, and really really white sand. Arrived in our hotel which is very basic, and the bathroom smells, but its good enough for us.Went down to the beach, very busy but so nice.

Day 38/39/40 Penang- Krabi Early pick up at 8:15, for minibus to Krabi. Rog met a guy called Tony from India on minibus and spoke to him as he had a Chelsea shirt on. Crossing the Malay/ Thai border made difficult for us by the driver, as he was trying to make extra money out of us by selling us arrival and departure immigration cards, which are clearly free. He was gutted we saw his scam. Arrived in Krabi, staying at Sai Thai Garden Home. Really nice place, s...

Day 35, 36, 37 + 38 Yet another classy coach we headed to Butterworth, to catch a ferry over to Georgetown, Penang. Em slept most of the journey whilst I watched a Malaysian Kill Bill type film - was immensely cool, Emma hated it. We headed for Chinatown once arriving in Georgetown by taking the free shuttle bus. Shopping around, we managed to find an ac room for the next four nights. It was small but cheap and will certainly do us. Georgetown is a pretty sleepy...
