So, the journey to Koh Tao was a story on its own. I spent the whole 1 hour and 15 minutes in the toilet being sick and all sorts! The waves were huge and i honestly didnt think we'd make it there alive! I wasnt alone, however, 80% of the boat was being sick! We finally arrived into the port (alive), seconds later i merged from the toilet to find Ash staring at me as if to say - what on earth have you been doing in there! Well... It just so happens that the toile...

In Koh Phangan we only had a 2 night stay, as there isnt an awful lot to do unless your up for a party. The Full Moon parties are huge! We hired a scooter for the day to explore the island. The locals dont wear helmets so we felt like proper tourists. At first they didnt even give me one, they said only the driver! Of course, i insisted! So off we went to Koh Ma, a tiny island in the north of Koh Phangang that you walk to via a small strip of sand, it was very p...

We took a flight to Chiang Mai, which took around 1 hour, and although expensive we were happy about missing a potential 13 hour bus journey!

Upon arrival to our hotel we were sold an evening all you can eat buffet with entertainement, based on the Thai hill tribe cultures, good preparation for our trekking we thought. It was a great night for 4...

Hi everyone! Here we go with our first post and first part of our journey around the world! (I still feel so lucky saying that!) Our flight was a little late departing and we sat on the plane for almost an hour before take off, by then i'd already fallen asleep and Ash had to prod me several times to wake up so i wouldn't miss take off! We finally landed in Bangkok 11 hours later and then had to wait ages to get through passport control. As soon as we did we were...
