Tuesday 17th July We woke up early and got picked up and headed to the ferry port, I was pleased to see that this pier was a lot quieter and there was no mad scramble for the tickets or boat! We arrived on the main land and jumped on a bus to take us to another bus. The last bus took us to Phuket where we were dropped off to take a taxi to our hotel. The taxi driver tried to charge us more after he realised where we were going, but we refused and said it was...

Sunday 15th July We woke up and were on time for our pick up, it was late however. We were all ready to go, but a couple of Irish girls took their sweet time to get here, then some more people were also 30 minutes late. What made me laugh that the Irish girls were complaining the others were late but they were late by 10 minutes too. Even with the taxi being late. They also had a ridiculous amount of luggage with them. Soon we arrived at the ferry pier where i...

Saturday 7th July We got up nice and early and waited for our pick up to the ferry port. There wasn't as much of a rush to get tickets as last time, thank god!

We packed up and waited for the taxi to take us to the travel office; we arrived in good time and waited for someone to tell us where to go. Before long we were hustled onto a waiting bus and were given water and a bread roll for breakfast to go along with the rest of our 7-Eleven breakfast! We both pretty much slept all the way to the boat, ther...

Tuesday 26th June We woke up early to catch our mini bus to Chiang Mai and then onward to get our train. We went back down the ridiculously road again, Stu slept most of the way considering he didn't come in until 7am! His hang over started kicking in later on which was very amusing! We arrived back in Chiang Mai, and stopped off for some food before heading into the train station to wait for our train. It was a long wait! We boarded the train and left at 6pm....
