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.

Then they dropped us off in completely the wrong part of Krabi and we had to pay more money to get to the ...

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...

Hey, we are now in Koh Phangan - which is about 40 minutes boat journey from Koh Samui, we're staying right near to where the full moon party takes place. Tonight is the half moon party and is taking place in the jungle, meant to be bout 15,000 people there so should be interesting.Koh Samui was lovely and we ended up spending 4 days there. Half in Chewang which is the lively bit and half in a fishermans village in Bophut - which was lovely. It was a lot quie...
