Really liking Siem Reap, by far my fave spot so far!!!! Arrived the other day after a gruelling 26 hour bus journey from Chiang Mai!!!! Once in Cambodia I've never known such bumpy and dusty roads - sorry dirt tracks!!!! It's unreal, the trees by the roadside have no green on them, they are totally brown from all the dust coverage!!! The people are so friendly and constantly laughing and joking and smiling, which considering their dark past is quite r...

Arrived in Chiang Mai extremely tired after our epic journey!!!! Didn't get very much sleep at all on the train. It was far to noisy and bumpy!!!!! Met up with friends of Rich's friends, who showed us around. Me and Rich tried our hands at the climbing wall in the Night Bazaar, but Rich being scared of heights didn't get too far. But I made it to the top and rang the bell. I was well chuffed!!!!!! Went on a mountain trek yesterday and visited some ...

The following day was the King's birthday and a huge celbration throughout Thailand. It'...

But to get the most out of it you need to do a diving course!!!! It's the second best diving spot in world, only The Great Ba...

Arrived in Koh Pha-Ngan after a very choppy ferry crossing from Koh Samui!!!!!! Rich had to go up top to get some fresh air and reading a book was out of the question!!!!!! Accidentaly went to the Full Moon warm up party on Wednesday!!!!! Didn't know it was happening, we just got a taxi to Had Rin to check it out and landed in the warm up party!!!! A few beers and buckets later and a good night was had!!!!!! And this was only the warm up!!!!! So to...
