We didn't up going Ko Lanta in the end. Literally a couple of hours before we were going, Curt said to me and Vic that we should go to Railay instead as its supposed to be nice, and we just said "why not"! So here I am, writing my blog entry, sitting outside on the veranda of my little beach hut in Railay! We got a ferry from Phi Phi to Railay, then it stopped just off the coast and we had to get onto a small long tail boat to Ton Sai where we were staying. The ...

I remember when I first arrived on the beach at Phi Phi I fell in love with this place, as it was so different to Phuket and just what I needed. There was a load of us by this point and we all stayed at the same cheap bungalows we could find. Me and Vic shared a bungalow but it costs us 7 pounds each - Thailand is by miles the dearest place in South East Asia that I've been to! They were called P P Pavillion and set back from the beach, but still overlooked the...

I really really really dislike this place and never ever want to return!! Been here for 2 night and can't wait to go to Singapore tomorrow! Patong is just wrong on so many levels!! Firstly we struggled to find a local restaurant as they are all selling American or English food, the wi fi in the restaurants and hostel isn't even free, the whole place is crawling with lady boys and old Western men with young Thai girls and everything is overpriced for some bizarr...

I knew Bangkok was going to be funny when the 'bus hostess' turned out to be a lady boy! That set the place up already and that was just me getting on the bus!! Slept like a baby, again, even though the bus had a tyre blow out and stopped for ages, or so I was told the next day! We all got in a cute pink taxi and headed straight for the Koh San Road at I think was about 7am. We lugged our rucksacks round a few cheap guesthouses on the road but they are looked l...

After a bus, a river crossing from Laos to Thailand, an hour wait at a travel agents, loads of us pilled in the back of a Mitisubushiu Warrior car, another bus and tuk tuk we finally arrived in Chiang Mai, northern Thailand! The journey took us nearly 24 hours to get here but was worth it. The Hostel is more like a home than anything else, Spicy Thai, and Noom the manager is the nicest person ever! Me and Vic didn't go out the first night as we are still not dri...
