Ok, so it’s kind of becoming a weird tradition now that whenever we are going somewhere we end up spending the night in an airport and guess what…our Christmas trip away starts with an overnighter in Bangkok’s airport! We will warn you now, this is quite a long blog as we had a very, let us say, eventfultime with transport on this Thailand trip. About the panorama...it makes the beach look l... Read Full Entry

We saved for 3 years and then went Hoff to travel the world. Chris Columbus and Magellan eat your heart out...do you reckon other people will have already discovered the places we are going to? You bet! About Us Neil, originally from Hartlepool, UK and Donna, originally from the Wirral, UK have known each other for 19 years. We bought a house, got cushy jobs in Nottingham and always had a passion to travel and see what more was out there in the big wide world (sounds corny or what?). The opportunity came when we were both made redundant and given nice r... full info

what? us messy?!
Mum, really we aren't THAT messy ;) haha actually you know us too well...we had tidied it a bit to make the picture look a bit more presentable - the worst thing was we had only been in the room about 18 hours! Wow, we never realised that massaman curry was so popular...it was the best we had tasted EVER (jealous?). Michael and Faye, hope you got the curry paste!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Hey both! Love reading your blogs and it never fails to amaze me that we read all your blogs before we went, we went, we've been back a year.. AND YOU'RE STILL THERE! Just incredible and you'll never get bored like you say, there's always something you haven't seen before. It was nice that you found somewhere new to visit in Thailand and that the terrible journey there paid off. You both always look so well.. compare your photos to those when you first went away and you haven't changed! Proof that travelling keeps you young I think. Take care both of you and hope to hear from you soon. xx

Great Blog
Hey guys, just stumbled on your blogs again.. I will be back in Thailand, Malaysia and Bali from Feb 13th - March 3rd.. Will you be around the traps? I had to laugh at your experience with the transport at Surat Thani... it is SO bad! The best option is to get overnight train then public bus anywhere.. but it is damn hard to find in Surat and you have that damn transport Mafia at every turn! I think its the same company that have screwed me at least twice! That restaurant in the middle of nowhere with the 'your bus in 10 min' every half hour.. still sitting there... oh god! I am off to Lanta again this trip so great to read your blog! Funny, when I was there in 2006 we ate at Thai Cat and LOVED the food.. but it was pretty laidback and not so touristy then... I was dying to get back there for a feed, but you have given me a better alternative by the sounds of it! Safe travels.. let me know where you guys are in Feb xx
