Arrived in Phuket at 10pm... a full 3 hours later than we were told we would be!! Bloody Thai transport was ridiculous!! After the boat to the mainland we were shuttle bussed to Surat Thani! Here, we expected to get a bus straight away over to Phuket, but instead were shuttled around two bus stops, before returning to the first one an hour and a half later to catch another bus!! Stupid!! Anyway arrived late in Phuket (avoided the scamming taxi drivers!) and foun...

Afetr the morning boat to Koh Phangan, we arrived and got a transfer taxi to Haad Rin Beach. We found a bungalow just off the beach to stay (prices were still high after the Full Moon Party three days earlier!) and hit the beach. That night we arranged to meet up with an old mate from Wyedean 6th Form, Chiddy! Lambert had seen him recently but it had been years for me so would be good to catch up. After some food, me and Tom headed down to the beach (where the...

So, the bus arrived at Champon on the coast at 5am, so we waited (for a glorious sunrise) and the 7am boat to Koh Tao.

We went off to the beach, where we spent the afternoon just kic...

After 23 hours in transit from Vang Vieng to Vientenne, to Nong Kai and then by 12 hour sleeper train to Bangkok... we arrived in Thailand's capital at around 7am... tired, grumpy and sweaty!! Fortunately Tom picked a delightful guesthouse (or more accurately a s***hole!) for us to stay in just off Koh San Road, further improving the mood in the camp! Never mind... we got sorted and went off for a bit of a look round Bangkok... lovely place, but got pretty bur...

After 4 hours, we arrived in Vang Vieng, found a guesthouse, got some food (whilst watching Family Guy!) and headed out for a few beers. After a late night (and slightly tipsy Skype call to Natalie) I headed to bed. Next morning we got up and went for breakfast (whilst watching Friends!) and then went tubing! Now, for the uninniciated, tubing basically involves sitting in a huge rubbed tube, floating down the river and stopping at bars for horrendously strong bu...
