Koh Tao will definitely go down as one of our favourite places and periods out of this whole trip. The moment we got off the boat we could see how clear and clean the water and beach was even at this - the business - end of the island. This is quite a long post, but it was such a happy and actioned packed week that we really want to document it. We had one aim here and that was diving. We'd been told that this was the cheapest and best place on earth to learn t...

Firstly, apologies for the long wait between posts. We have just been having too much fun! Anyway, we left you all on our way to Bangkok. We only had a 2 day stop over and Brett was really unwell. Stinking heat did not help the fever and The Brett Sweats were in uncontrollable full flow. So Stacey braved Kosanh Road alone and went for supplies, but bar some pork sticks and pad thai street food, rotting in our room was about all we did. No ping pong for us. ...

Our 12 hour night bus up to Siem Reap was pretty unremarkable apart from almost being the s***test night of our trip.

Luckily Stacey managed to flag him down before he got more than a 100m. But wit...

One relatively quick - 4 hour -bus later and we made the leap from Vietnam to Cambodia. The border crossing was smooth and straight forward. The most noticable difference was the intensity of the heat as we moved inland to Phnom Penh. It really felt like it cranked up a few degrees to 35-36c. Those of you that know Brett, know that once that Brett-sweat starts, there is little can be done to curb it and today was no exception! Having been a bit care-free with ou...

After the history lessons of Saigon and Phnom Penh, we were ready for relaxation. Koh Rong had been recommended to us by a couple of folk along the way by now, so we made a point of taking the 3-4 hour bus ride south from the capital to Sihanoukville, on the coast. From here it was straightforward enough to book a return ferry ticket to get us out to the island of Koh Rong - about 2 hours out into the Gulf of Thailand. There was one simple aim to this 3-4 day le...
