So Louise, has somewhat thrown me a curve-ball. Whilst i expected to spend Xmas on Phi and complete a few more little dives and have a long slow goodbye, she has a wild idea about spending Xmas down on another island in the South of Thailand, Koh Lanta. She needs to be in Australia for New Years Eve, but convinces me that we should have a bit of a laugh first....

So off we push down ever South, find ourselves a wonderful beachside hotel and spend my last few days in Thailand playing pool, drinking cocktails and having a blast in the most chilled of Thai islands. Managed to avoid getting the cliched turtle tattoo whilst drunk on the beach and managed to get myself a reprieve on my visa which by now i have outstyed my welcome and i must leave thailand for possibly the final time......
Louise is off to Australia, who knows if our paths will cross again? Heres hoping.....
