Hi y'all We arrived in Koh Samui after a super quick flight with Bangkok Airlines of just under 30 minutes. We were first to collect our bags, which made a change, we then headed to the hotel transfers desk and got ourselves onto an air-conditioned mini-bus. All good as the England-Slovenia game was due to kick-off at 9pm local time; we were on the mini-bus at 8:20pm. Unfortunately, we (along with two others) were still on the minibus 25 minutes later, we hadn't...

We arrived in Phuket by ferry on Monday 21st June.It only cost £5 each to get to Phuket. The weather was awful during the boat ride; the rain was heavy and the wind made the ocean waves fierce causing the ferry to rock.Some of the passengers on board were being sick, not that Mark would know as he was sleeping with his mouth wide open catching flies!! Unlike previously trips, we had a taxi driver waiting for us at the port as we were staying with Mark's old wor...

There was only one thing for it........

We paid just £12 a night for a room in a hotel called "Goodwill" and believe it or not it was really nice, very clean and has a balcony......just a shame that we were on the top floor with no lifts!!! We stayed here for 2 nights but then ex...

We arrived at Imm Fusion Hotel in Bangkok on Friday 11th June after being persistent with the taxi driver at the airport to put on his meter. Posts on the internet advised of a taxi scam on overpricing (one of many we came across in the city; very irritating). Our hotel is on the edge of town, but next door to the metro (On Nut - strange station name). The rooms are very basic, but clean, and at only £17 a night in a capital city you cannot go wrong. Bangkok i...
