We were going on a boat trip today and were both very excited, it was a four island tour that started in Ao Nang and went to Hue, Poda, Chicken Island then to Railay. I went to get breakfast from Seven Eleven, I am Seven Eleven's biggest fan but the one on the high street in Ao Nang is crap and actually makes me quite cross, the staff don't acknowledge you are there and they have no stock and generally they should all be sent to prison. Hate it (this is not a ref...

Awoken by Gerrys from the room next door getting back from a party at about 04:00 we were bloody tired, but hey we had nothing to do. We had seen the previous day on an explore that there was a plush resort up yon side of town that welcomed people to use there swimming pool at 100 Baht per day, this was a steal and that's where we headed fairly early on. We stopped at Seven Eleven on the way and purchased a delightful cold pizza and a hot dog. We trotted into the...

This was not a problem for us but I could not understand the logic behind it as the room she wanted to move us to was the one next door. I told Sarah 'why don't they just put whoever was supposed to hav...

We decided to move onto the next beach called Caron beach, it was only 2 km up the road and a showaddywaddy was to take us there, we went to the stop and there were several pulled over and all the drivers were sat in the back of one having a chat, we asked 'which one to Caron beach please?' with that one pulled up from round the corner and stopped, it was only 5 yards from us and they said 'that one' and then shouted 'NOW NOW' this made us panic and we pretty muc...
