We made our way to the restaurant on the beach and passed the morning looking out into the clear sea before heading back to get ready for our first 'fun' dive! We planned on just the one dive as it's quite expensive for us. We were really nervous as this was the first time we had no instructor or somebody to help us - it was just us and a guide and a couple of other divers. The first thing we noticed was that the metal floor of a dive boat that had been sat in th...

We were woken up at 2am to a woman screaming at us. The bus had stopped, and a woman with a megaphone was 'kindly' telling everyone that the bus had stopped for a 'very long time' and we should purchase some food from her all night cafe. She 'very nicely' repeated this over and over again until everyone was off the bus and ensuring that noone was able to sleep through it. After an hour we set off, and then after another hour the bus stopped again, with all the l...

Checked out this morning and prepared ourselves for 24 hours of being homeless! Again, we just chilled on Koh San trying not to spend any money. We then met up with Matt who again, had no luggage!

Our bus trip wasn't exactly as planned, we booked through our hotel to gain...

We again had another lazy day in the capital with nothing much for us to see or do, other than aimlessly wander up Koh San Rd and avoid the heat. In the evening we met up with Matt who again still had no bag, so we took him to a few shops so he could finally get changed and bought some shorts and flip flops! We then went to a restaurant for something to eat and had a few beers whilst watching the football.

We didnt do much in the morning as it was just way to hot to do anything - so we just walked round the town and had a couple of drinks before heading back to the guesthouse's bar and waited until we got picked up for Bangkok, by the smallest minibus ever which even though it was due to be 'air con' it blew out warm air and for a maximum of 6 people we were squashed in with 10 others - it was a really comfortable journey. Well, ok for Claire and she slept mostly ...
