Lets just say I am so happy I went up to Vang Vieng! It was soo much fun!! I just wish I had more time :) (Maybe I can convince Jason to go up for a week ;) ) There is so much to do there from tubing to cave diving to jungle treking and the people are super nice :) The town is surrounded by tall rocky mountains covered in jungle with mist and fog passing through them :) Such a beautiful site every morning I got to walk out on to the second floor terrace and look at at the mountains :) The people we traveled up there with were very fun to be around. I think a lot of it had to do with them all being British lol. It is quite fun ... read more

Mui Ne is Amazing!! The beach is like a paradise and right now it is raining I can only hopw to see it when the sun comes out. The water never goes above the belly unless there is a wave :) the waves do not get too huge and the water is extreamly warm with an AMAZING view of the entire bay. When I went out there where rain clouds comming in and you could see it raing in the distance with asian style boats on the water layers and layers of clouds.

There were millions of people who died ... read more

So we have tracked to the south eastern part of ko chang just in time too! We got here yesterday morning and on the 2 hr taxi over (which is in the back of a pick up) it started pooring. And it is a day later and still pooring. The good news is the ocean is warmer than the air and the beach is flat. Justin and I want to go snorkling but we need to wait for the storm to subside. All and all it is really fun over on this side of the island only two places to stay and there are not mounds of people or taxies. The power has been out since yesterday so I am typing this on a phone lol gonna get going thanks for the comments... Oh and the ... read more
