heeey guys!! ok so i think this will be my last blog booohoo!! im currently in Patong and finished my tour on the 2nd so me and 4 friends i met on the tour are living it up in a posh hotel with a nice big swimming pool for the next 3 nights!! 25 pound for all 3 nights BARGIN! love it!!
Ok following from the last one
29/8/08
So we left Koh samuii early morning!! and headed to the ferry port to catch the first ferry back to main land, from there we travelled by songathew a big tuk tuk lol for about an hour and a half to Khao Sok Rainforest national park! Her we were spending one night in the beauty of the rainforest, as soon as we settled in to our little wooden bungalows on stilts we experienced a nice rainforest down pour and thunder storm which was pretty scary lol coz the power went out!! In the afternoon after the rain stopped we went canoeing through the rainforest! we couldnt actually row the boats as the rain had caused the water flow to speed up which would mean going down weirs and crashing into bushes probaly lol!
We were paddling along and all the canoes were steered under a bush....as you do....so were all sat there like hmmm why are we sitting here and the local guy tells us to look up!! EEK we see a black and yellow snake coiled around the bloody brach right above us! but no thats not ewnough to freak us out!! so he prods it with the oar i swear i thought it was gona fall in my boat!! lol was funny thou!!
We carried on downstream had to get out and empty our boats as going down the little rapids was making our boats fill up from the back splash lol, on the way we saw a MASSIVE spider! (frao u would hate it) and a frog who pretended to play dead on the side of the boat and iguanas!! Was really fun we did get pretty wet though!!

Next day we left the national park early and headed to the edge of the island by mini bus to catch a long tail from to railay island - Krabi, took about 20mins to boat across! There are two sides to the islands the muddy and the beautiful u can access both but obviously the muddy is cheaper accomodation, so naturally we stay6ed there, having not seen the nice side we checked in and raced round to the nice side OHHH MYYY LIFE!!! nicest beach everrrr!!!!!!!!!!!! was actual sun sea and sand!! i couldnt believe it i could see the beach floor and the white sand was lushhh!! sooo nice!!
We spend 2 days on Railay island!! The first day just chilling and swimming on the beautiful beach and exploring the island, and the second day we booked an excursion to Phi Phi island to do some snorkelling!! The speedboat picked us up at 9am that was sooo fun speeding over the ways the whole boat takes off pretty much, we stopped at a few islands and swam in the sea, these islands have beautiful beaches but are still abit run down as they were hit really bad by the tsunami, after this we headed to a snorkelling spot! I dived in adjusted my snorkel and was ready to try and find some pretty fishes, i didnt have to look very hard scared the living day lights out of me put my head under and literally hundreds of pretty coloured fish about a centimetre away!! i felt like i was going to hit them all while i was swimming but they just all move haha! so weird so good though, saw so many different brightly coloured fish and apparently there was an eel but i didnt see that. After 30mins we got back on the boat and visited monkey island, we werent allowed to get off the boat as the monkeys are often huingry and can sometimes bite, so the guide climbed on the front of the boat and called one over 2 swung up and jumped in and another jumped on the boat from the tree so funny the guide panic'd and was like dont touch dont touch and one was climbing up hazels leg and she was like ITS ON ME ITS ON ME!! ITS LICKING ME ITS LICKING ME!! im absolutly wetting myself and everyone runs into the back of the boat!! by this time im convinced were gona evacuate and the monkeys are gna hiijack and drive off lol! the driver reversed and fortuatly they got a bit far from shore realised and jumped off!! It was so hilarious!!! After that we went to another island for some lunch and time to edxplore, we then headed back to another snorkelling hotspot to do some more snorkelling this time the guides were throwing bread in so even more fish were swarming us, was absolutly amazing aswell as the pretty coral underneath the sea, we were holding bread under the water suddenly one fish would notice and start pecking and then there would be like 100 and there all pecking u all over haha!! We got 30mins to snorkel, then we sped back to Railay island after our wicked day out!!

Today we were meant to go beach camping :( but the bad weather made the sea too rought to make it to the island where they do the cmaping SOOOO GUTTED instead the alternative option was to go to a small muslim fishing village on an island closer to shore, where the people have built a large village where 1000 people live and make money by being a tourist attraction and fish harvesting.
In the morning we caught a longtail boat to James Bond Island!! The island is a small island which is part of a famous scene in man with the golden gun i believe! We spent an hour there exploring the island, swimming and taking pics, before heading to the fishing village for our nights stay.
We stayed with a family who had built small huts out the back of there house, each had two mattresses and there were 5 of them, they were pretty cosy but u can feel every movement and hear every boat that goes underneath u!! We had dinner made by a local lady and spent the evening chilling outside over the sea. Went to loo, not that u need to no this but funny experience! was a normal toilet but when u flush it literally pours out into the sea beneath u! so luckily the tide coes in and out so quick and acts as a massive flush coz u can imagine 1000 people = 1000 poos at least a day! now we understand why no one swims there lol!
The muslims were due to start Ramadan that night so they can only eat at sundown, so stayed up late and got up early to go out fishing! They also have there call to prayter 5 times aday which is a nice wake up call at 5am lol! Just as we were leaving on the pier we looked back and the end hut that we were staying in was actually slanting as if it was gona fall into the water sooo funny! coz in the middle of the night one of the walls of the huts fell down and the couple in it fortuatly woke up and the guy caught it haha!! was dodgey lol! Was a pretty cool experience, to think they live in the middle of the sea 24/7 and rarely go to mainland is pretty insane!

Our last full day we headed to a luxury hotel in Phuket town, our last stop before the tour ends!! :(
We had a day to shop explore and eat some yummy thai cusine!! We got some good bargins at the local market!! I had corn on the cob hardly thai cusine but was bloody yum! lol! In the eve we went to a posh restuarant for our last meal on the tour!! Pad Thai again for me YUM YUM! we said bye to our tour leader who was heading back to bangkok that evening, and the rest of our group headed to Patong for some evening entertainment!!

Chrissie, Hazel and I spent an extra night in phuket in the nice hotel, we met up with Abbey and Courtney from our last tour and decided to go in search of a nice resort to chill at for the rest of time here!! Tehy rented a jeep and we drove around pretty much the whole island!! we saw lots of nice places but the best and best pricved hotel was in patong on a quiet road near the beach so thats where I am now love it, the hotel is so swanky I feel soo posh!! im here now until sat eve when i start making my way home!!
