Well we're over 2 weeks into it now and we've finally got around to updating the blog! We started off in Bangkok and were lucky to arrive to a lovely guesthouse given some of the stories we've heard about the hovels that people have stayed in! We had a great couple of days there, getting our first tuk-tuk to take us around all the main sights. From here we took a mammoth 17 hour cockroach-infested bus journey down to Surat Thani and then on to Koh Phagnan from there. After a disappointing first night we soon found our travellers feet and with it a little bit of paradise in Haad Yao. We also hired a scooter for a day which Chelle found to be one of the most amusing moments of the trip so far... picture me on a scooter and think Dumb and Dumber! Things were evened up slightly when I took my eye off of Chelle for one minute and she slipped, ending up fully clothed in a rock pool at the foot of a waterfall! After a few days here we left for Koh Samui... chasing a happening night life. What we found was a complete shock to the system! Lets just say a lot of neon lights, ladyboys and enough 'massage with boom boom' that even Duncs could have got lucky! We had no choice but to leave Samui following Chelle's karaoke performance... the best bit... it wasn't even karaoke, just a live band playing!
After the chaos that was Samui we decided to head for a more chilled time on Koh Phi Phi where we are now. The first big night out saw one of our mates test himself in a Thai Boxing Challenge against one of the biggest guys in the bar! The aftermath wasn't pretty!
Anyway, we best get back to it but we'll try and log in here a bit more often to keep you all posted!
Lots of love,
Mark and Chelle
