Soph And Alice Take On The World!
PHUKET
Well..to be honest with you theres not much to say about this, FULL of pervy old men with no shame walking around with very young thai girls! Very seedy,not really aplace youd want to stay very long!
KOH PHIPHI
This is the most beautiful island,we stayed here for 3 nights and loved it! We met some aweome Canadian girls there. One day we all toook a boat trip around all of the islands, we went to Maya Bay where the beach was filmed and lots of other equally beautiful islands! As you can see from the photos the scenery was incredible! We did a lot of snorkelling and had a brilliant day!
The rest of the days were really about living the island life which we've become quite accustomed to! We had a coupleof crazy nights out there,one of which involved getting chased out of the swimming pool in the early hours of the morning by the security guard and hiding in the bushes! We would have liked to stay here longer but Koh Phangan is calling us..the full moon party awaits!
KOH PHANGAN
Well..this is definitely the biggest party island ever! its crazy..we were there four nights and probably got about 4 hours sleep at most the whole time we were there! The first night we met 4 guys who had all done a semester at uni in Hong Kong, they were all from different countries; one Germany, one Austria, One France and one, Switzerland!! As you can imagine they were a pretty crazy group! A couple of nights before the fullmoon we went to a pool party..it was honestly like one of those scenes you see out of a crazy american highschool film! it was mental! there were people everywhere! Only in Thailand would this have been aloud!
By the time full moon came around we had already had 3 nights of partying and stayingup all night, however somehow we managed to get the energy to have the craziest night of all this night. There was a massive group of us and we all partied oon the beach until 10.30am! then we had to rush back to our resort and check out as we had to get the boat to Koh Samui...not a good Boat Journey!
KOH SAMUI
Well..after 4 nights of no sleep and far too much whiskey and redbull we were both pretty ill on Koh Samui! We rolled onto the beach every day and that was about it! We met up with some friends from koh phangan who were in the same state as us and so we all just used the time to chill out!
The most energetic we got was getting a truck to see a waterfall, it was pretty cool and we had a good day there! It was nice to get in some coldwater! The sea here is 30 degrees and doesnt cool you down in the slightest!!
KOH TAO
Koh Tao is a beautiful island which people mainly go to to dive..we stayedin the dodgiest little shack ever! We were both massively running out of money by this point and so decided to brave it and stay in the cheapest place we could find..o dear was it cheap! It was a tiny little hut with a tiny little fan and a tiny little bed and that was it! it was like a sauna!! In our toilet we had a huge lizard that saton the wall all day with blue spots and red eyes and at night there were some lovely cockroaches that liked to comeout and play! even thinking about it makes us cringe..do not know how we survived 4 nights in that joint but somehow we made it without contractingany diseases!!
We did the best dive we've done so far on our last day here! We swam with 6 3-4m reef sharks and it was awesome! they came so close! After our dive the boat wen tout to another site but we couldnt afford to do another one so the 2 of us decided to snorkel while the others went diving..this turned out to be a life threatening experience! We saw a huge fish bitingoff bits of coral,it looked really funny so we swam over to it and started laughing..Sunddenly it turned and attacked Soph, she started screaming and swimming around in circles while it was biting her flippers..then it went for Al and did the same thing! Al swam over to Soph and the fish kept attacking so we held hands and swam off towards the boat as fast as we could! I dont know how we didnt get bitten!
When we got back on the boat the guys said..o yeh thats a trigger fish, there very territorial you should never swin near them, they take chunks of your flesh off! Thanks for letting us know before we went snorkelling guys!
BANGKOK
We go the bus to Bangkok today which took about 8 hours, when we arrived we met up with Laura, Nice woods girlfriend and her friend from uni Jimbo. Wewent out in Bangkok that night with 2 other people we met in the hostel..turned out to be a very funny night,unfortunately we can only tell a select few of you as i think some may disapprove!! It was hilarious though!
After our crazy night we sorted out our train up to Chiang Mai as we wanted to do some trekking up there..we decided to get the night train. This was a 14 hour train ride but the seats turned into beds..marvellous! When we got there we booked our trek for the next day.
The trek was amazing! it was 3 days and 2 nights.The first day we went to a massive waterfall and somehot springs and then trekked through the jungle to go and stay with a hill tribe for the night. The second day involved a marathon trek to where the elephants were, an elephant ride which was wicked and then another night in a different hill tribe. That night our group went crazy with the drinking games and drank all the hill tribes beer and kept up all the rest of the trekking groups! oopsy! On the last day we got on some bamboo rafts and floated down the river!
The whole trek was awesome and was made even better by the group we had! We were all in hysterics the whole time! This was probably the best thing we did in Thailand and was a brilliand way to end it! The guys in our group were headingoff to laos and cambodia after, we were very tempted to go with them but unfortunately the funds willnot allow it and so we have to return home! :(
BANGKOK
After another ride on the night train we ended up back in Bangkok to stay in our 4 star hotel for the last 2 nights of our trip! We thought we'd treat ourselves! The hotel is so nice and we've had a wicked time just chilling out and pampering ourselves so we dont smell too bad for you guys when we get home! Its our last day today and we are a wierd mix of emotions,obviously very excited to see all you guys but we're both really sad its all over too! Its all gone way too quickly!
So anyway i guess all thats left to say is see you all very soon...HOMEWARD BOUND x x x x x x x
