One day before Emily, the boys made their way to Krabi and as luck would have it the first stop was a local beauty parlour that offered them their deluxe suite at a discounted rate due to the ongoing renovations, complete with double bed, en-suite, couch, tv, fridge and the biggest balcony on record. Krabi offered the party seen missed in Koh Lanta and the boys were back involved until the early hours where the remainder of their nights spent on the balcony setting the world to rights. A chance meeting with Chloe was unexpected and provided a nice little addition to their previous meeting.

With the help of a some local knowledge Emily arrived in Ao Nang the following day and easily found a cheap hostel where she met 'Chloe the northern lass' who Martin and Lucas had previously met in Koh Lanta, small world! For the next few days Emily and Chloe and a collection of hostel inhabitants enjoyed the local cuisine, a few trips to the beach and a boat trip to Railay. The many different characters in the hostel were involved in games and celebrations which ended up kicking the local thai talent off the stage of the local pub and performing our version of some old english classics!!! The locals and travellers loved it. The following day Lucas said his fair wells to Thailand and headed back to the UK for Christmas and Emily and Martin were officially reunited!!!!
