6pm on Wednesday 24th we all met in the lobby of the new world hotel Bangkok. We were introduced to our intrepid group and guide whose name is Borna who is a 30 year old Cambodian guy. We all went out for dinner and a few drinks that night to break the ice and get to know the other group members. There are 15 of us in total and almost the same ratio boys to girls which is really cool. We have 6 australians, 4 canadians, 2 from Glasgow, 1 from south hampton UK and...

In the end we decided to fly Bangkok airways to ko samui from Phuket rather than a 10 hour day travelling. Only an hour flight we were really stoked with our lunch meal and our brightly painted ATR. Quite cool. We got a shuttle from the cute airport to our accommodation where we unpacked and walked along beach. We found a bar where the seating was beanbags on the sand with candles dug into the sand. The cocktails were two for one So had a few cocktails there and...

In other words these ladies were trying to rip us off with good value tours etc. We finally made it to our resort Bauman Casa in Karon beach. ...

We arrived at customs and the bus dropped us and all our bags off at one side and waited for us on the other once out bags had been checked. We took a taxi from beach road to katong mall which is close to David and Vanessa's place. Taxi are very cheap here unlike in nz. After dumping...

We have just had the 3 exciting busy days in Kuala Lumpur! We didn't have much time but ended up cramming everything in we wanted to. After a 8.5 hour flight to kl we immediately were hit with hot and humid weather. People always said it was like walking into an oven and they are not wrong. We got a bus for 8rm which is about $3 nz which took us into kl sentral the main station here. Finally after sometime we got to our wee room at tune hotel. Perfect for what we...
