Welcome to Ayuttaya, the former capital of Thailand. We arrived this afternoon after yet another longer than expected bus trip from Kanchanaburi. It was all going well until we hit an accident outside of Supha Buri (after we had changed buses there) in which a lorry and trailer had skidded across the road and managed to block it totally but at least we got here safe and sound. We had 3 brilliant days in Kanchanaburi. Once we had checked in after our early arri...

After a 21 hour journey from Ko Phangan we have finally arrived into Kanchanaburi, or as most people will know it as the town beside the bridge over the River Kwai. But first there is the islands to tell all about. We left Ko Phi Phi via another very rocky ferry ride, so rough in fact that i swore that i wouldn't take another ferry again. Unfortunately for me, the only way for us to get to Ko Samui, our destination that day, was to bus it across to Surat Thani...

Greetings from a rather wet and windy Phi Phi. We arrived yesterday after a very rough ferry crossing, which somehow Trish still managed to sleep through!

We were glad to get back onto dry land and so found some accommodation to our liking. As it is monsoon season we weren't expecting good weather but yesterday was pretty good. We took the chan...

Ok, so after 7 months working and travelling our way around Oz we waved goodbye and jumped on the plane. First stop Bali, Indonesia.Transport, transport, transport sir. They were probably the first words we heard leaving the airport and something that we would have to get used to for the next 10 days. It's the first (and probably won't be the last) country that the taxi driver hails you and not the other way around. At first it was annoying walking down the s...

So as it is monsoon season on the west coast of Thailand at the moment, it is raining and we have plenty of time to up date blogs and the like. Had a wonderful time in Langkawi. Did nothing but lay around and read. The water was really like a warm bath, it was the first time either of us had felt the like. It is a duty free area also so we could buy cheap beer and drink it by the sea. We got the ferry from Langkawi to Satun, Thailand and then got a bus up to Krab...
