Nothing much to report on Koh Samui as it's been a bit of a chill out place...Mainly because we all needed to recover from the Koh Tao pub crawl! The Island has also been pretty dead as the majority of backpackers have been on Koh Phangan for the full moon party. We decided against doing this after hearing bad reviews from most people who had been! Yesterday was spent on Chewang beach...Another lovely beach. In the evening, after some grub, myself, Samuel and Si...

After a very smooth transfer from Bangkok we arrived on our first island, koh Tao. After a quick freshen up we went for a walk along the main beach where we had planned to spend the day. The plan quickly changed when we decided there must be nicer places to go! We got a local beach guide and decided on shark bay. We made the current decision as it was beautiful. Koh Tao is a very rocky island which really adds character to all the bays. It also makes a great p...

We are once again in Bangkok! We checked in about 11.30pm on Wednesday and hit the pillows! Samuel had an early start to go and meet his boyfriend Si at the airport, whilst I enjoyed my bed for a little longer. First on the agenda was Pad Thai! We had been dreaming about having Pad Thai again for the last two weeks and we had to introduce Si to our favourite street food stall. We had a little wonder around the area we have become quite familiar with. On the w...

We arrived in Siem Reap on Saturday, the past few days have gone really quick. Our hostel is really cool. It has a pool and beach bar (the floor is actually sand). Our first experience of Siem Reap was pub street. After a few drinks at our hostel with people we have met along the way, we made our way out out (Micky Flanagan fans). Pub street is as the name suggests, a street lined with bars and restaurants. We soon settled in and found ourselves dancing on tabl...

We were unsure whether to go to Battambang as we were told there wasn't much here! Due to having some spare time, we decided to give it a go! It was definitely the right decision! We left Phnom Penh about 9am and eventually arrived to the bus station at 4pm. The bus ride wasn't the best we've had. As well as being a rather sweaty journey, we were also stopped for an hour while the driver tried to fix a fault! When we arrived we jumped into a tuk tuk who brought...
