Hey Guys Yesterday after another overnight train ride we arrived in Surat Thani. After having breakfast in a nearby coffee shop we travelled for two hours by Songthaews to Khao Sok. Songthaews is the official name for the vehicles I have been calling truckie things since I've been in Thailand! They're great as they hold 12 people but are very bumpy!! We're staying at a place called Morning Mist and it is absolutely beautiful. The bungalows are so quaint and...

I was listening to my ipod on full blast just to try and drain the noise out!! What was more disturbing ...

Hey you guys Currently in an internet place in KhoSan Road with my new room mate Natalie who comes from Australia. We've satisfied our craving for chicken burgers and chips tonight and enjoyed some tiger beer and wine whilst listening to live music, I thought of you Mum and Dad when Dire Straights Walk of Life was played!
