After a chorrendous boat ride at 7am and 2 buses i arrived in Krabi. Over the next few days i recovered and took it easy while it rained on and off. The rain did provide some surprises though... One evening i was on my way back when it started pouring with rain and when i got in a tuk tuk i almost had a heart attack after a toad leapt out at me from inside the cab. After 2 lazy days i was full of energy again and went for a run down to the beach where there were ...

After trains, tuktuks, boats and buses which stranded you in the middle of no where I managed to arrive on Koh Phangan...a little pinker than I had left Bangkok...My "bungalow" was more of a shed than anything, but who am i to complain when the beach is on my doorstep and if that wasn't enough there were 2 pools to keep me happy.

Note to self, in the future book buses with a few hours in between arrival of the first and departure of the second...they are not reliable! The bus novelty is rapidly wearing thin but i was grateful for aircon, a reasonable amount of personal space and a pleasant enough finish guy sitting next to m...

On my last day in Hoi An I got up early and like the lunatic I am ran the 5km in the very hot sun to the beach...it has to be said it was one of the more challenging runs of my life but all the more rewarding when I got to dip into the beautiful sea and spend he rest of my day drinking ice cold drinks from my sun lounger, reading and dozing at my leisure...Finally it was time to head back to my hostel. Not fancying running in the midday heat I set off walking ins...
