Penang - Malaysia I have finally arrived in Malaysia! Whoop Whoop! Country number five on my list. Today is a free day to explore, so I am going to get the tram up Penang Hill and take in the beautiful scenery of Penang. It took about 30 minutes to get to the hill by public bus. The only problem with the bus is that you have not got a clue which stop to get off at, so with a bit of pointing at maps, the bus driver was able to explain where I would get off. W...

Phi Phi Islands, Krabi - Thailand We have finally arrived in the south of Thailand in Krabi and we are all looking forward to going to Phi Phi Islands to relax on the beach, get that amazing photo of where The Beach was filmed and top up on our tans!

The journey to Chiang Mia is around 3.5 hours, so I am so looking forward to going elephant riding and then hanging out with the tigers...

Into Thailand - Chiang Khong Today we took yet another boat tour all day to finally reach Thailand! Out of the Jungle, out of Laos and into a back of a van to our guest housel! Lol! We arrived so late today due to the flow of the river and the rain, that we only had time to unpack, have a shower and got out for dinner. My stomach is feeling a bit dodgy at the moment, so I stuck to what I know - Chicken and French Fries with a bottle of coke! Hopefully I will...
