Hiya, We finally made it to Kuala Lumpur, it was a looooooong journey and actually ended up taking us a day longer than intended. When we got to Hat Yai in Sourthern Thailand we had to make an emergeny stop at the hosptial as I (Louise) was covered in spots!! It was an interesting experience as I didn't speak Thai and them very little English!! The doctor diagnosed insect bites of some kind, possibly from all the Scuba Diving i'd been doing!! So i didn&#...

Hey, sorry we haven't written for a while we've been learning to scuba dive!! We're currently on Koh Lanta which is about two hours south of Phi Phi and i have to say this is probably the nicest of all the islands. The people are so friendly and it is so cheap!!  We've been here for five days the last four have been doing a diving course. We took the PADI open water course which means we can dive anywhere in the world without an instructor, w...

We're in Phi Phi now! We arrived on Monday - its a really cute little island but you can see how the Tsunami affected it. The beach we're staying on is the one that was hit the hardest - there is still loads of rubble and lots of rebuilding work is going on.

We got a bus over from phangan which was ok actually - the boat to mainland took bout three hours then bout the same over by bus. Problem was they were on commission so they stopped off at two cafe's trying to make us buy food!! Bit annoying!! Then they dropped us off in completely the wrong part of Krabi and we had to pay more money to get to the ...

Still on Koh Phangan, we're going to stay here until Friday as the weater is lovely and the place is really nice.  Can't believe we've been gone nearly two weeks - feels like we've had about four different holidays. Yesterday we hired out a moped to see the island. I was a tad concerned about this as it said in the Lonely Planet guide that lots of people that go out on the bikes come back with a ko phan scar!! The roads are proper rocky and h...
