Our final day in Thailand has arrived. After scoffing as much as we could at the resort for breakfast, we've just boarded a nine hour ferry down the West coast of Thailand, to Langkawi, Malaysia. Only this is Thailand, so it's not as simple as that. First the tide was out, so together with our backpacks we were loaded on the back of a tractor on the beach out to the longtail boat, which took us out to a ferry. From here we travelled back to Tonsai Village to catch our nine-hour ferry, which turned out to be an overfilled speedboat to the island of Ko Lanta half an hour south. We were then told to "all change please" on to a ferry. A few hours later we made another unexplained change to another ferry, which has taken us here - our last stop in Thailand: Koh Lipe. Now we're told we're to get into another speed boat which will take us across the boarder into Malaysian water...
