So we arrived in Penang at the bus station in the middle of nowhere with no money and nowhere to stay, luckily I remembered a name of a street that Elise had mentioned a few days previous, so we jumped in a taxi and got him to drop us off there by passing the ATM. We then hopped out spotted a guest house and checked at reception for some prices and found out that they only had a double dorm AKA swingers Dorm but for £4 a night we couldn't resist. After being in the room for a couple minutes we had already met Bolivan couple and found out about there travels, where there heading next what there plans were for food everything. Now after traveling for 9 hours with no food as you can imagine we was both marvin, and literally across the road I spotted a steak resturant that had a set menu of Salad with Balsamic vinegar (wow) and steak and chips which was amazing i can't tell you what steak it was all I can say that the steak was amazing, it was worth the full £15 that we paid for it !! Whilst in Georgetown we
visited Penang Hill which the train to the top went at about a 75 degree angle up which was fine it was just coming down the other way was a little different as the hill was very very high.. On the third and final day in Penang we thought it was a good idea to go to the cinema as it was only £3 for both of us including a large popcorn and 2 drinks.. Next day we woke bright and early, jumped on the plane to Langkawi which is a beautiful place which I'd like to go back to in the future. We stayed there for 4 nights but somehow managed to spend 95% of our money on the second day on a crocodile farm and mangrove tour where we saw obviously crocodiles, monkeys, eagles, bats sleeping in there cave, we also went to a fish farm which was very knowledgable. The next day we both decided to sit in the sunshine in a bar and keep buying jugs of beer for £2 a go. The whole time we spent in Langkawi there was next to no clouds just the sun beaming down, but on the final day it
was raining on and off all day and Elise had the bright idea to walk to the other end of the strip to get some dinner that night. Just as we sat down to have our meal it started to rain, it got heavier and heavier until it was a tropical downpour which is when we decided to leave, It has just occurred to me a whilst writing this I can't understand why we never got a cab back ? By the time we got back to the room we were completely drenched! Elise spent most of the night awake as the tropical storm sounded like it wanted to come through the ceiling, but as my head touched the pillow I was out. Next morning we got the 20 minute plane back to Penage and then jumped onto the *26* hour sleeper train Journey to Bangkok. After finishing the second Harry potter book on the train I watched outside the window as we was passing all the little shacks coming into Bangkok and thought how different it is from London and just how different my life would be if I lived here ! We then left the station and got
a cab ride for 50p which took us to our little hotel in khao San Road and anybody thinking about doing a couple nights in Bangkok my advice would be to Stay In khao San Road !! Very lively everyone wanting to sell you the same stuff and the food is very nice and beer very cheap ?.. The following day we ended up taking a tuk tuk ride to the tourist information centre and we ended up planning our next two weeks.. Ohh my I have just ordered a Pinacolada and wow f*ck me this is unbelievable, anyway onto our ... wowza, Jesus Christ this is immense....
Ok.
Well moving on ? ok now the night we then wanted to go out down khao San Road have a few drinks and head back, but we ended up meeting a few people and going out with them,
As the drinks were flowing we found out one of the boys with us was Gay, and that he took a liking to me, he decided he wanted to show us how to party in Bangkok and take us to a better place (which turned out to be the gay part of Bangkok)
thankfully we then met another couple from Suffolk, which was great for me as I didn't have to make conversation with the gay boy anymore who wouldn't stop telling me what happens in Bangkok stays in Bangkok blar blar blar. Come 2.30am after going to ping pong shows getting ripped off we all decided its time for bed, and the ladyboy (in his spare time) I'm now finding out he thinks he's coming back with me, I'm now looking at Elise thinking what have you been telling this boy all night. Now Elise done one of her slippery moves and I'm now seeing her on the other side of the road telling me to come back so i tell the Thai guy just popping to the toilet... Put my top over my head and legged it hoping he wouldn't see us running away down the strip. The next day we woke checked out and made our way to the tourist board Gaff and the man got us a cab and sent us to the train station where we then boarded out 22 hour trip to Koh Lanta where I am now drinking my Pinacolada.. Amazing place, amazing pool .. Were
now staying at Dareen Bungalows in Koh Lanta loving my first day and of corse my sexy Pinacolada.. As the next report of our epic journey will be coming from Miss Elise Ryan, so until then go bye good night farewell to all !! Xxxx

Ok you two you are now tearing the arse out of it. Jug of beer £2, Wowsa cocktails, Lady boys !. Really enjoying the posts so keep them coming. Also just had a look at the fantastic pictures. Only comment I have is that Jack you need to sort your hair out and Elise you need a shave. Might have that the wrong way round :-) Russian GP this weekend Jack . Be good Al. Al.
