!!Major update!!
Sooo I've been thinking for a long time that I wasn't ready to come back to England (and the cold weather) and that I could stay out in Asia for a while as I still have money left over. Yesterday I really thought about this and looked into flights and costs. This morning I booked a flight to Malaysia!! So I won't be home on Monday now! I will be home when my money runs out :D An exciting adventure for 2016. I can't wait to continue my journey into the unknown! I will try and be better at updating my blog for the few people who actually read it hahaaha
Talking about adventures. Ao nang was really pretty. I met some friends and we went to the beach. The tide was low so we WALKED to another island through the sea. Such a weird feeling. We had a nice dinner and catch up and even went to Railay beach for the day. One day we went to tiger temple and climbed the 1260 steps. Such a killer, had me sweating buckets haha On the way up guess who shows an appearance! The dreaded monkeys ahhhhhh! The tried to steal my friends water bottle. So scared of them things now. Traumatised!
After Ao Nang I headed to Koh Lanta and made a friend on the bus there - Danielle from London. We rented a moped and I had my first passenger on the back!! We rode around the whole island in a day! Was so much fun and we saw some amazing places. I wanted to go to Koh Phi Phi for a day trip as if decided I didn't want to stay in that place as it's just party party party and expensive!
In the end I ended up skipping Koh Phi Phi and we booked a bus for the next day to head to the jungle. When we got there we found this lovely treehouse and rented a room for 2 days. It initial plan was to camp but we couldn't find a camp site. Thank god we didn't as we freaked out when we found a giant spider in our bathroom Hahaa! I swear it was massive and came up the shower plug whole ahh! We went on a day trip in the jungle to this incredible lake (Chewen Lake) which had huge karst mountains. We hiked through the jungle and into a cave which was pretty cool and swam in the lake. I've realised I can't float anymore. Don't know what's happened but I'm a rubbish swimmer looool. Need to fix that.
Anyway after the jungle I needed to head up to Bangkok as my flight was in 5 days but we didn't want to spend too long in Bangkok. We found a place on the map bro far from Bangkok and went and booked a bus there. The bus was ridiculous they starved us from 7:30am until 2:30pm which no stops but made up with it with a free buffet lunch at service restaurant. They definitely let themselves down when they dropped us on the road 15 miles away from where they should have dropped us. They paid this lady £5 and told her to get us taxi to the place. This was for 5 people and the lady wasn't happy but the bus drove off. We were tired by then and didn't want to wait for the bus another 45 minutes! We were already an hour late. So off I went and hitchhiked me and Danielle a ride to the place by an older Thai guy and his mum I'm guessing who both couldn't speak English. We got to the place and the man stopped and let us out when we realised we weren't exactly where we needed to be. Our guesthouse was on the beach. This random Scottish guy who could speak Thai saw us climbing out of the truck and asked where were going and managed to get us another hitchhike to the beach Hahaa this time in the back of a pickup truck. We ended us accidentally getting dropped off outside our guesthouse but didn't realise this for 15 minutes!
Hua Hin is where I am and it's a little beach town full of Russians. It's really chilled and the beach is amazing. Tonight we head to the night market but I better hold back now as I need my money to last :D
Tomorrow we will get a bus to Bangkok and the journey continues.
Will keep you updated!
