When I woke up I was convinced it was nearly lunchtime but I checked the time and it was only 08:30 so we woke up very slowly, I went to the reception and asked if we could extend our stay for another night, for some reason she said yes but we had to change rooms. 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 woke up and decided to move on from Khao Lak and go to Phuket, again on a bit of a whim. We got up quite early to get the bus to avoid arriving in the mid day heat, we went outside Yupadee Fish Hotel and waited. No sooner had we taken our bag from our shoulder and I said 'what's that coming over the hill?
