Well we had another early start today. Our boat was scheduled to depart at 9am so we grabbed some breakfast and made our way to the pier. We again had a helping hand via a pushy trolley, and we piled onto the boat. The other boat was going towards Krabi and that seemed to have double the sheep than ours. The boat departed and we nestled down for our journey. As we left the small pier area we could see waves that looked high and very strong, soon we were in a Holl...

We got a minibus right from our Hostel to Hat Yai, there was a really annoying kid on the bus who had a toy car that kept playing a stupid song, we were praying for the batteries to run out but they never did. The border crossing was fine and we arrived at Hat Yai 5 hours after leaving Penang. We waited to transfer onto another minibus t...

Relieved, we left the damp hole that we stayed in in the Camreon Highlands. As usual the bus journey was smooth, on time and A/C!

She said she had been travelling on and off for the last 27 years and had been eveywhere fr...

Well our journey from KL was fine as usual, although the bus did turn up late and we left 45 mins behind schedule. The Journey up was really scenic with lush hills and lots of jungle. We got closer to the town Thana Rata and it started to rain and the clouds were getting closer and closer. When we finally arrived at our destination Ellie spotted the van for our hostel and we go a lift there. The driver was really friendly and was really entuasiastic about the roo...

We had a smooth 2 hour bus journey to KL, as we were approaching the city we could see the Petronas Towers shining high above all the surrounding buildings. We successfully managed to navigate our way to a Hostel called The Haven, which suited us just fine! We dumped our bags and went out for a wander, we found the biggest shopping mall in SE Asia was right round the corner from us!! We had a look inside and there were 10 levels of shops, a cinema and a theme par...
