When we left Ko Phi Phi we were pretty much ready to leave. It was good to have some liveliness but an island full of Westerners wasn't really what we came travelling for. Having said that Phuket isn't too dissimilar. We've become a bit tired of packing, unpacking, looking for accommodation every few days. It is exhausting. We wanted to go to a town called Krabi but decided to save our energy and money and just stay in Phuket longer. The ferry across was a lot ...

I've been a little slack with the blogging recently but back by popular demand (my mum) is the next blog update... Despite all the warnings from our Ko Lanta friends about how busy and touristy Ko Phi Phi is, I had read it was worth all the hustle and bustle for the beauty of the island. We waited on the pier at Ko Lanta for our ferry to Ko Phi Phi. There was a really smart looking ferry and we thought for once we had gotten lucky and get to travel in luxury. Of...

We travelled for 27 hours solidly (buses trains planes Tuk tuks etc) so I think it was fair to say we were knackered by the time we got to Trang town. Since we arrived in the evening we had to stay overnight here b...

Hello again...apparently I couldn't just get away with my token blog. However I'm sure that all 6 people who read this blog (is that a fair guess??) have been crying out for the welsh style of writing again - so here it is! Sukothai is basically like Ayutthaya but a bit bigger, and then split into a new town and old town, which are conveniently 15km apart. The old town is made up of a scenic historical park, containing yet more ruins of temples (slightly bette...
