Yo! Koh Samui, Chewang otherwise known as Ibiza! It is really touristy and commercial here, but we deffinately made the right decision to move, as we could shop and the weather was a little better...we even got to sunbathe...wow! We spent 6 days here, initially staying in a really nice resort called King's Garden, then onto The Wave which was cheaper to save money. Sarah suffered from her worst hangover I think I've ever seen her have. We went out with some ch...

Hi all, Well we left Chaloklum after we had all recovered from the Full Moon Party. We wanted to go to Bottle Beach, but because of the weather the boats wouldn't go close to the beach, so we would have had to carry our bags over our heads through the sea. I can hardly carry my bag when it's strapped to my back, so I wasn't keen on the idea of having to hold it above my head and being only 5ft the waves would probably have swamped me anyway! So we went to the No...

Hi y'all, As promised the update about the Full Moon party....well it started off pretty bad. Initially we were told it had been cancelled as it was a Buddha Day, so we hired a jeep and thought we would explore the island instead.

We soon realised that not all...

Yo, Well in one day we managed to get nearly every mode of transport possible to get here, on the 15th Oct. Motorbike sidecar-esque tuk tuk (our bags did not seem safe on that trip), bus, taxi, aeroplane, mini-bus, ferry and songtheaw. We arrived in Ko Samui by plane at 5:40pm and the last ferry over to Koh Phangan was at 6:30pm, so obviously we thought there was no way we were going to get there in time. Little did we know that the airport there is about the s...

Hi all, Well the trip back down from Chiang Mai to Bankok wasn\'t as nice as on the way up. To start with the train was late by about 2 hours, then when on board we realised it wasn\'t as clean as the one we arrived on. The bed opposite me had loads of bugs crawling over it - I told the guard and he shut the window and brushed them off around the train...pleasant. The girls went to sleep quite quick, but I stayed up talking to an Aussie guy that we met on th...
