Hey hey me again just thought i would blog and let everyone no where we are in the world and what we have been up to.
Ok so last time we were in Koh Lipe - absolutely amazing i loved every second its the most amazing place i have ever been we had a pretty chihlled couple of days there beach in the day and food and drink in the night but no partying just casual drinks. The weather was beaut and the food was amazing!!!!
From Koh Lipe we got a speedboat over to Koh Bulone - had to take my sea sickness tablets as the water was really bad and the boat journey was just over an hour and it was terrible people being sick of the back and everything - one lad had to get of at our stop as he couldn't continue on to Koh Lanta as the water was too bad!
We arrived in Koh Bulone - remote island! and didn't have anywhere to stay. Em stayed with the bags and I went in search of accommodation. Not an easy task as it was midday sun and there were no cheap ones!! I finally found some bamboo bungalows for 400baht a night (200 each) and we booked in them went to get Em and we started the trek into the island to dump our stuff. Koh Bulone has less than nothing to do!! there is literally NOTHING!!! we had to spend 2 days there as the boat out was fully booked the following day!! We didnt do anything we sunbathed and ate and went to bed at ... wait it .... 8pm!!! WOW oh also the electricity on the island is only on from 6-12 so the fan in the room = pointless!! Never go basics!
Fromthere we went to Koh Lanta were we spent 4 nights it was really nice. We stayed on the beach like literally on the beach! we had another pretty chilled few days here just sunbathing, reading, drinking csually and had our first bucket :)
One of the thai guys who worked at the bar were we staed took a particualr fancy and we ended up getting a tour of the whole island from is friend which was actually really cool! We went to the old town, the gypsy village, the national park - waterfall and elephants and monkeys ion the trees etc was really cool.
From Koh lanta we went to Koh Phi Phi (island where the beach was filmed) it was backpacker central!! we stayed here in an 18 bed dorm which was really cool. The beach isnt the best because the island was hit so hard by the tsunami but the nightlife is amazing!! We stayed here for only 3nights because we had to go extend our visas otherwise we would have stayed longer. Met some really cool people here who we will prob meet up with again! We did a day trip which involved cliff jumping, monkey beach, maya bay - where the beach was filmed and some amazing lagoons!! the island is beautiful and there are alot of divers here.It had a really cool vibe - basics we loved it!
From Phi Phi we went to Phuket to extend our visas .. DRAMA!!! We arrived and went to our hostel after being souted at by some horrible thai man at the port we dumped our bags and grabbed some food. We arrived in afternoon so the immigration place was closed we had an early night so we could rise early and sort out the situ! We were told that a visa extension would only give us 7 more days and would cost 1900baht!! pointless so the only option was for us to leave the country and come ack in!! We booked a ticket to Singapore and back again leaving at 10pm and coming back at 8pm the following day! We spent the whole time on the floor of singapore airport freezing from the air con and tired, annoyed and hungry! it was a nightmare but ey ho all part of the experience!!
We arrived back in Phuket and went straight to the hostel to sleep. in the morning we got the first bus out of Phuket as we hated it! We went to Krabi from there and that is where we are now!
Oh also , camera broke and had to buy a new one in Sing airport!
anyway we are back on the beach now and heading to Ko Samui tmz - can't wait!!
Hope your all well
Miss you all loads and sending all our thai love back home
Love Soph and Em
