Crap night sleep last night, I was wide awake for about 2 hours in the middle of it just staring at the ceiling, couldn't even spot any sheep to count - awful. Was glad to get up and go exploring again. We extended the bike for another 24 hours, decided to make our own way up to Erawan national park today instead of taking the easy way and getting the local bus. Need to be a little adventurous sometimes! We stopped at a TESCO lotus express for a coffee and so...

The Mosquitos found my blood tasty last night, they had a party on my legs; I have about 10 new bites. Great! We tried getting up early this morning but it was not the case! I couldn't wake up for the life of me. We had breakfast at the restaurant next door, I had cornflakes and fruit, finally some normal British breakfast! We hired the bike from the same place out of convenience and they didn't look all that bad. Went to the Thailand and Burma death railway,...

Five hour bus journey to Kanchanaburi today and already the truck driver has brought us to the central festival shopping mall and not the central pattaya road, trying to get another 50B off of us!

The seats were massive and they had reclining foot rests and gadgets for massag...

Yesterday we needed peace and quiet to recover from the huddle and bustle of Bangkok so we gate crashed a hotel pool down the road from our hostel. ...I know, we so rebellious! We had some food and drink there so they allowed us to use the pool all day, the pool was freezing but so refreshing! The heat here is heavy and the sun is very piercing. Not feeling to good today with the ole' bowl system, getting stomach cramps when I eat and drink and having to scou...

This morning was so hard to say goodbye again, I cried so much; I now have really painful migraine! We hate goodbyes and this trip has already had too many of them. It's going to be so quiet without them all, we will have to get used to it all over again. Lump in my throat as I'm writing it :(Once we waved them off we got in a taxi to the bus terminal and grabbed the next government bus to Pattaya for £3 each for a 2 and half hour journey so not too bad. The j...
