Koh Lanta - Not much to write about here as we took the 4 nights we spent in Koh Lanta to recharge our batteries and because Zo was still struggling with her stomach a bit we decided to book ourselves into some nice accommodation. We stayed in a bungalow the first night that was next to a fairly noisy building site so the following morning we said thanks but no thanks and went to find something better. We found a resort on Long Beach that was ideal, it had AC, a ...

We had a hotel pick up to take us to the Krabi pier to catch a boat to Koh Phi Phi. Tom and Lisa joined us again and we were all looking forward to Koh Phi Phi as we had all heard so much about it before leaving home and whilst travelling so far. Zo was not feeling well again, in fact she vomited just before the boat ride. The whole journey she spent lead on my lap while I tried to get through the remaining part of my book, 'The Girl in the Picture'. Koh Phi Phi ...

To leave Koh Samui we had to get up at around 5:30am to catch a bus and boat back to the main land.

On arriving to our accommodation by taxi I recognised exactly where we were from 3 years ago…we were right in the middle of the bar, nightclub and sleazy area on Chaweng. It...

Well it is probably more than fair to say that this day did not start very well, in fact it was easily the worst part of our trip so far. Early in the morning I heard some shouting coming from just in front of me on the bus. An English lad just in front of me was holding what looked like a Thai bloke by his shirt asking "what the 'f' are you doing", he pushed him away and the bloke ran down stairs. The English lad claimed the Thai bloke had been crawlin...
