A long and winded day of travelling, me and Scott are taking the scenic way up to Bangkok to save some dollar, instead of flying straight from Koh Samui. First trip was an 8am ferry to Koh Samui, then an hour taxi drive in Samui to the other ferry port. Second ferry for an hour and half to the main land, Donsak. An hour and half bus to the airport and then a flight to Bangkok. Considering we started travelling at 8am and didn't arrive in Bangkok until 5.30pm ...

Ferry this morning to Koh Tao and then a long tail paddle boat to the island just off the mainland, Koh Nangyuan. It's the one you see whenever you type Thailand beaches into google or you see on posters and holiday brochures everywhere. And nearer enough always think that they photoshop it! The ferry stopped at Koh Nangyuan before Koh Tao so we got off there to save us another boat journey back there; this was reluctant to one of the captains though. We all ...

Dad drove the moped this morning as Scott was feeling a little worse for wear! Doesn't help that we only had three hours sleep, I can power on with that amount more than Scott can.

She fell over again on her bottom in the middle of telling uncle Terry to be careful because he kept trip...

The men all went out snorkelling in the clear blue sea, Scott returned early - the wounded solider. He hit the ball of his foot on a rock or a shell and sliced the bottom of hi...

Waited ages for the awesome foursome this morning sat on a curb outside the pier we arrived at. A road was blocked on the way down apparently but I think it's their rubbish map skills personally haha! They only went another 10km passed us to Haad Rin, we thought they arrived at the same pier as us but they didn't. Took ages to get through to them, my phone bill is going to a minging price this month! We decided to go on without them and got them to meet us at z...
