We spent some crazy days buzzing around the capital on mopeds - v.dangerous but great fun. We saw the impressive Ankor Wat temples which were quite something, including the one featured in Tomb Raider.

We began Thailand with two islands - first Koh Pi Pi then Koh Phang Nagn. On the second island, we had a beach hut which was just a few metres away from the sea which was pretty nice. So we go…
