We arrived in Koh Chang with high expectations as it is part of a reserve park. Once we were dropped off at Lonely Beach we were met with a dirt road down to our bungalow. We quickly dumped our back packs off in to our neat, little shack and went in search of the beach. After a confused walk down a gravel road and a balancing act over a wooden walk way we reached the beach. It wasn't exactly what I expected, I mean don't get me wrong it was no Skegness, but it wa...

We were so excited to finally be in Thailand, even if we had to queue for ages to make our way through immigration.

After a very jolty ride we arrived at Bako or at least the port that would take us to the park. We hopped on to a small boat and sped over to the entrance to the park. It has to be said tha...

Thanks to Kenny, it was another early start for Sumera and I as we travelled 232km into the deepest darkest rainforest in Borneo to stay in a longhouse with an Iban tribe (Famous for being headhunters), whose village was located just off the banks of the Lemanak River. The Longhouse we were travelling to was the Jampang Longhouse... names of the Longhouses are based upon the chiefs surname. There was nobody else booked on this visit so Sumera and I had Kenny as ...
