Hello everyone, We are now back on Koh Samui after a rather long-winded boat ride. On our last day on Koh Phangan we we went for our traditional Thai massage. It was quite an experience! We were both prodded, stretched and twisted in various places for an hour. Although it wasn't as relaxing as we'd expected, we did come away feeling very supple and flexible. The next morning our boat from Koh Phangan to Koh Samui was delayed as there were so many people le...

Hey everyone, Just like to say thanks for all your messages, we hope you are enjoying the photos. We've been on Koh Phangan now since Sunday and its beautiful! Its smaller and greener than Koh Samui, and the sea is clearer. We are staying in bungalows by the beach but they are set in a garden, which means more insects!

It is less than 20ft to the white sandy beach and crystal clear sea. Our resort has absolutely everything we need, and we are looking forward to sip...

Hello everyone! We finally arrived in Bangkok at around 5am local time on Wednesday 4th February slightly later than scehdule. Unfortunately our luggage is not with us, so we will be travelling light to Koh Samui tomorrow! We have spent 4 days in the same clothes so we consider ourselves to be proper backpackers now. Our first day in Bangkok has been very hot and humid. We've been out and about around the shops and found an awesome food hall where Sian had g...
