So due to lack of WiFi, overnight journeys, and sweaty knees caps (who knee there were sweat glands in your knees?!) this is the next opportunity I've had to update you on my trip. So after my last update, we headed in Bangkok city. it is by far the busiest, hottest, sweatiest place I've ever been. we practically got forced into a tuk tuk by some scammer who wanted us to buy suits. Luckily we avoided death and made it to Bangkok's biggest mall and bought flip fl...

So after a really good nights sleep, I sadly wake up with the first tummy ache of the holiday. Sad face. A combo of the rum, shrimp and sun i'm sure, but still I'm not a happy chappy. We wake up stupidly early, ready for a day of island hopping on a boat, around the local islands. I man up, and get myself together, and after another dubious breakfast (6 Baht for a couple of bits of toast!!!) we jump into what we thought was a private minivan. Oh no, we have a VE...

We arrive at Suratthani at around 7.30am.

We eat up, and then it's time for MORE travelling. We get into a private air-conned minivan (yess...

So we wake up bright and (not so) breezy the next day. After a slightly dubious breakfast, we pack up our things, and leave our bags (nervously, as the bell boy just dumps them in the reception for ages) and then wait in reception for our CEO and driver to arrive to take us all the the famous Floating Market. Tommy had given us a massive speech the night before about not being late, and always being at least 5 mins early so we can make the most of our days. We w...

So we made it to Bangkok in one piece! The flight from London to Mumbai was long but luckily the plane was fairly empty so James and I had some space on the plane! When arriving at Mumbai to transfer for our flight to Bangkok, we didn't predict tge carnagr that would be Mumbai airport. Pushing, shouting, boiling hot and the airport itself looked like it was falling down. I got separated from James and had to be security screened in the women only area, even thoug...
