Langkawi, Malaysia The journey to Langkawi from Krabi was one of those travelling experiences which everyone should have at some point to make you appreciate the times when things do go swimmingly!!...We had arranged and booked our journey the day before with a travel agent and it all seemed fairly organised, until the journey actually begun! We were picked up from our respective hotels at 6.30am approx thinking that we were being taken by minivan all the way to...

Ao Nang, Krabi So yet again another bus journey, broken up by a ferry crossing in between.

So we met our friends for dinner and drinks before moving on to Siem Reap the next morning. It is pitch black and absolutely chucking it down when we arrive at the muddy bus station in Siem Reap, but there is a tuk tuk driver waiting ...
