The half moon party was really good and the setting which was in the jungle was really cool. The next day we did nothing but swim and eat. We arrived in Ko Samui on Wednesday and its much better than Ko Pha-Ngan as there are more bars and restaurants. The hotelis clean and modern but doesnt have a pool. So we go to a different resort instead! We ate at a place called Captain Kirk's last night and I had Shark steak. Its a bit like posh tuna. We hired a scooter...

The bus from Bangkok to Chumphon wasnt was pianful as we thought. We managed to get seats right at the front which meant more leg room and we were right next to the TV. The seats reclined nearly all the way back but still we didnt sleep great. We set off at 9pm arriving at 5am. We then waited 2 hours for the ferry and watched the sun rise whilst we waited. The ferry was really busy and took about 4 hours to get here. The hotel is ok. It has a pool and is right o...

Went to the bridge over the river Kwai today which was good. We started off at some museum which was dull but we only spent like 5 mins there. From the museum it was a 5 minute walk to the bridge.

The bridge was smaller from what I remember but Rikki pointed out that I was just bigger than I was before. Fair point. We walked over the brid...

Arrived in Bangkok yesterday after a painful 9 hour bus journey! 2 hours were spent at the Thai border which was stupidly slow. That night was our last meal with the rest of the group, and most of us went out and got tipsy. Bangkok is a wild night out. Loads of people kept asking me to see a ping pong show. Not sure what they meant! Ha! We have a few days here in Bangkok before heading to Ko Pha-ngan. We intended to spend about a month travelling around the islan...

Arrived into Chiang Mai around 8am this morning on the sleeper train which was awesome! Rikki didnt agree as I got the bigger bunk! The train was better than any in England, it was also on time. However it did take 14 hours! We had breakfast on the way to the hotel before dropping our bags off and going immediately to a Thai cooking class. Before starting the class we had a trip to the local market to pick up our ingredients!! We cooked 4 dishes each which inclu...
