Although we were basically drunk/hungover/dying, we were very happy to be back on Ko Phi Phi as it was definitely one of our favourite places! We went straight to check in at a hostel where Johanna & Jesper's friends were staying, with full intentions of going straight to bed for a very long nap! When we got there we said a quick hello to Marline and Sophia (their friends) and went up to our room (which was empty - bar three single mattresses on the floor!) -...

We had arranged to stay at a hostel in Khao Lak, ironically called 'Walkers inn' :) We we're a little apprehensive at meeting the owner, Andy, as we had sent a few emails back and forth arranging our accommodation and he had been a little abrupt and a tad rude. However, when we arrived at Walkers we we're greeted by Andy and he seemed to be a great bloke and in the coming week we were to discover he is a right legend! I was chuffed to bits with Walkers, firstly t...

We arrived in Bangkok for the second time at around 1.30pm after a very squashed ride! We went straight to the Khao San Rd to look for a hostel as we hadn't been there yet and both wanted to see what all the fuss was about.

As had become our custom, I sa...

To say our journey to Bangkok was an absolute mission would be an understatement! 18 hours on the road! We caught a minibus from Phuket and were on that for six hours, the driver was a lunatic! Quite scary. We then caught a connecting bus, which was a proper coach, for a further two hours; then after being dropped off again we jumped in the back of a truck for a short distance, about 15 minutes. Whilst on the truck, we met an Australian guy who had been travellin...

We were met at the travel shop where we bought our tickets to PP by a very full mini-bus. As our bags are so big the driver knew they wouldn't fit and so asked us to wait while he dropped a few people off. (this was fine by us as it meant that our bags could go in the boot instead of on the roof - it was tipping it down, and that we got to sit in the front seats - where there is much more leg room!) After about 1½ hours we arrived at the dock and boarded the boa...
