23rd Mar. I arrive in Bangkok at 5:30 in the morning which was a great time as the streets were pretty quiet and it wasn't too hot. I followed these 2 girls to Baan Sabai accommodation where i only paid 160B for the night. I went back to sleep till 10:30 and then went for a walk and found a temple on my way back to the room, called Chana Songkram where a local showed me in and told me to go inside, even though i had a drink and a singlet on! I went in and everyone was just sitting [View Full Entry]

18th Mar. Got up, did some washing, went on the net and then headed down to the beach with the guys. I had a chicken skewer thing and some delicious pineapple, had a swim and chilled. What's great is that you don't have to leave the beach to get food. They come up to you...how's that for service...(but it can get annoying as they also try to sell you souvenirs.)We then went back to our rooms and got ready. Fon picked me up on her scooter and took me to dinner. She prepared the table and food before heading off to [View Full Entry]

16th Mar. GOODBYE STEPH AND CARSON. We had our last breakfast together and while i changed rooms they bought their tickets to Bangkok. They left early in the arvo but i knew that i would see them again and keep in contact. Although we had a few fiesty moments we had some really great times together and they really added lots of laughter and great memories to my time in Thailand so far. I wished them well and watched them drive away in their truck which was taking them to the ferry. I then went and did yoga but the girl [View Full Entry]

14th and 15th Mar. We pretty much did nothing all day but eat a huge meal for lunch where i scoffed down a burger, chips, banana shake, pancake and fruit and then got stuff ready for the party. We bought our disposable camera's and i got my hair straightened for only 100B...so cheap. It was so nice to have it done properly again, i even felt like a woman!!! When i got back to the room to get ready the guys didn't recognise me at first with my hair done!!! I thought this was definitely the occasion for my green short [View Full Entry]

10th mar - One Month Away. After 1 Milo shake for brekky and 1 transfer to the pier, my tour begun with Mr Kean (just the name of the business). I was also pretty keen for the tour as it had also been recommended to me by Brad. Everyone on the tour was pretty friendly, there was an Aussie Lisa with her Kiwi partner Dom, 2 girls from Holland and another couple. We headed out on our longtail boat through the mangroves where we actually got close enough to touch them. Everywhere you turned there was a huge limestone cliff darting [View Full Entry]

7th mar Even though i set my alarm for 8 so i could actually get up and do something, i was so buggered that i just kept on sleeping. I tried to get my hair cut but the lady wasn't in till 12 so i just packed up my stuff, said bye to the guys so i could head to Phuket on my own, but i would see the guys in Koh Tao in a few days time. It was a local bus and the air conditioning consisted of fans attached to the roof and i was the only ferang which [View Full Entry]

5th mar Breakfast today was a yummy banana shake and honey pancake!!! mmm. After getting our transfer back to Krabi bus station and being delayed by 45mins as they overbooked the bus, they end up cramming 5 people onto the backseat and putting stupid stickers on us yet again. When we arrive at Khao Lak we try to get to the National Park to stay in some bungalows but that was a waste of time and we end up sitting around for 2hrs trying to decide what to do as Khao Lak seems too touristy (became this way when all the [View Full Entry]

3rd mar Mooooooooooooooooooooo. This was my alarm and with my hangover i wasn't impressed at Carsons morning wake up call. Once again we slept in and i was pretty hung over. Trying to wake up, focus and quickly pack, was hard enough but i also had Steph yelling out to me from her room across the hall, trying to have a conversation with me about who knows what!!! Crazy hung over lady. We checked out then headed to an Italian restaurant for brekky (just for something different) where steph asked if she could have rice - in an Italian restaurant!!!

28th feb We both got up pretty early and just finished packing and got to the dock early. Once again the ferry was late and whenever we asked how much longer they would always reply 10minutes! We eventually got on the ferry after a tipsy turby longtail boat ride (this time i paid the 20B!!) We arrived back at Pak Bura and Steph minded the bags while i looked for the cheapest and quickest way outta here. The cheapest i could find was leaving right now for 350B each assuming it was a bus taking us straight to Krabi. We then [View Full Entry]

24th Feb After a fiesty morning together in Pak Bura, Steph and i got on our ferry (which was late) and headed out to Ko Tarutao Marine National Park. The ferry ride was interesting where some other travellers (heading to a more commercialised island of Ko Lipe) smoked pot on the boat and were not bothered by the fact that they had their kids on the ferry too! We also spot this guy that seemed to be on his own and looking kinda nerdy with his careless looking hair! This guy ends up getting off the boat with us (just the [View Full Entry]
