The boat journey to Koh Phi Phi had fantastic scenery of the dark haired 6ft variety if you catch our drift. Docking at the island it was obvious this was more a party destination i.e. young, fit, tanned males everywhere! Within 10 minutes of leaving the boat we had secured ourselves a date with 2 local thai boys, or so they thought hahaha....... There are no cars or roads on Koh Phi Phi, just narrow winding streets lined with shops, bars, restaura...

Ko Lanta must be the most chilled place on earth, everybody was so relaxed they were practically horizontal. We spent a glorious 3 days eating, sleeping, drinking and sunbathing. Our bungalow was by the beach in a little resort with restaurant, bar and swimming pool. The bar had wooden cabanas on stilts over the sand where we lay on cushions drinking in candlelight to the wee small hours soothed by the sounds of Hed Kandi. Funnily enough this remote island is...

To make matters worse the toilet facilities left a lot to be desired, hole in moving train and squat (I think you...

After a hectic day sight seeing we had a bite to eat, drank wine from tea-cups (as alcohol was supposed to be banned that day) and had an e...

Day 3 in Thailand, the traumas and hilarities have already begun..... Nearly missed the flight from Heathrow, too busy eating and drinking wine! As if that wasn't bad enough we had a marathon sprint to get our connection in Singapore airport to Bangkok (it was a photo finish!) After an hours wait, had a hair raising taxi journey to our hotel. It was 8pm local time, 24 hours after we set out. So, the only thing for it was bed. Our plans to wake up ea...
