I'm back in Malaysia for one last beach with Cords, and we are making the most of the sun. Right on the equator, Lankawi is the hottest place I've been to yet. Bring on the suntan! I knew that it would be a dog-leg to get Southwards to the Malaysian island of Lankawi all the way from Koh Tao, but it was The Official Worst Journey Ever. I left on the night boat, which Amy had warned me was 'pretty horrible'. It was like a slave ship! Rows of bodies stretched alon...

After 3 and a half months, I'm leaving Asia... 6 countries, 7 different currencies, a hundred bus journeys, some very high zip-wires, 7 Thai islands, lots of fantastic friends, lots of giggly motorbike rides, some cheeky monkeys and lots of laughs. It's been quite an adventure! Asia has ruined me for all future holidays with its gorgeous beaches, friendly locals and clear blue seas... Ibiza is never going to compare. I've got some fabulous memories to take with...

http://www.weathercity.com/sg/singapore/ I'm Singapore in the rain! Having left Lankawi in the blazing sunshine I had one last stop in Asia before moving on to Oz... the lovely city of Singapore.

This time I wanted...

It's a tough life on Koh Tao... Last stop for my Thai islands tour was the very chilled Koh Tao; diving Mecca - the whole island is full of dive fanatics doing PADIs and Dive Master courses. The dive sites look amazing, teaming with tropical fish, mantas, barracudas (and the occasional shark), but not being much of a fan of the water I found that on dry land the island is pretty lovely too... palm trees, clear sea and fluffy sand. I've been staying with my frie...

Go to Thailand and not make it to a Full Moon Party... no chance! Having decided to skip most of Malaysia and head back to Thailand, Amy and I embarked on a mission to the famous Thai island of Koh Phangnan, to party like it was 1999. First stop was a day on Koh Samui, which has nice beaches but a lot of dodgy Western men with young Thai 'girlfriends'. We quickly hot-footed it over to the neighbouring Phangnan (on a horribly late, very rough catamaran - I wen...
