Had some time this morning before my flight so headed to a tea shop I'd seen last time called Let's Eat Cake. Very cute and posh and had a lovely cup of tea. Being the now experienced public transporter, I was reading over my route to the airport. Looked a piece of cake. Just before heading off I checked my flight ticket one more time to make sure I got the time right. And well what a shock to see I was flying from a completely different airport. Luckily I lef...

Well what an emotional morning. Exactly the same emotions I had the day of leaving the UK. Excited but at the same time scared of the unknown. Had the added emotion of leaving Chels though today. We had our last breakfast together and then she walked me to get a taxi. Was so sad leaving her, it's been such an amazing three months and I can't believe I won't see her for another three months. That will be the longest we have ever gone without seeing each other. Th...

Checked out and had the short ferry over to Koh Samui. What a shock checking into our Hotel was (Deva Resort and Spa), it is stunning. And well after three months of hostel life, I think some days spent in a bit of luxury is well deserved. Chels wasn't feeling well the day we checked in, so I had the afternoon by the pool and then went to a cute restaurant near by for dinner. Next day I won't up feeling ill, bloody food poisoning again! Powered through most of...

Well 20 hours later and we arrived at Ringside Hostel, Koh Phangan. Night train was nothing like the other one. Small, dirty (definitely seen a cockroach) and very noisy. Windows didn't close so we heard every train that went past. Not a good nights sleep at all. And top bunk on night trains suck! Then it was a long ass bus journey to the ferry, then an even longer ass ferry journey to the island. But we arrived in one piece. We dropped our bags off and hung by...

Night train was amazing to Bangkok. Absolutely loved it, so much better than flying. Arrived at the train station and was really easy to know which platform to go to. Train was already there so got straight on and found our seats and it left on time at 5pm. Had two lovely thai men opposite us both. One was a young student and the other as an older man. The older man was so friendly and talking to us about thai culture and his views on the danger on Thailand. He...
