                    <title>An extremely grand end to a magic trip</title>

After a fairly chilled 10 days on the various islands our final few days were busy busy as we began our trip back to Bangkok. We had one final night free and could have stayed put and chilled out on the beach.. but of course wee got our backpacks on and booked a</description>

So it39s ourlast night tonight and aswe are staying in BKK we thought that we would splash out.We are staying at Lebua at State Tower which is a glam 5 star hotel which we got at an awesome price.

                    <description>On Saturday night i double booked myself with the football Liverpool vs Everton FA cup semi final. Anything else and i probably would have gone in a mood for hours. But instead on Saturday late afternooon we embarked on the most memorable journey of a lifetime to Maya Bay  Ko Phi Phi Leh aka the beach. When we were picked up from Ton Sai pier we boarded a big reggae style boat which was r</description>

                    <description>It39s so hot today. After Songkran yesterday it39s supposed to get colder here until November time. Most Thai people wear jeans and gear we would wear in the snow Songkran Songkran was so much fun we didn39t invest in any water squirting devices probably a good deal as they were all around 1213 quid each and the festivities have all stopped today We were quite content to just get s</description>

                    <description>Today is the Thai New Year also known as Songkran and to celebrate this the Thai people have one big ENORMOUS water fight. Andy and I had read up about this as we knew it fell when we were going to be in Thailand but nothing could have prepapred us for the huge party going on all day today. The Thai people and the Westerners all have water guns and bukets and super soakers etc and soak you ev</description>

                    <description>We witnessed a ladyboy cabaret last night and it was great fun. In the words of Alan Partridge I don39t find them attractive  it39s just confusing. We arrived in Ko Tao yesterday and it was the first mode of public transport that has arrived on time so far  the slow boat from Ko Phangan costing 450 bht each 9 quid for a 2 hour journey which we sat on the side of the boat and soaked</description>

                    <description>Not much to report really as island life is slow as you can imagine but really nice and chilled. We are in the resort of Haad Salad in Koh Phangan on the north wes of the island which has awesome sunset views. It is so nice to see fluffy white clouds and stars at night as everyday since we have arrived the immense heat that the sun has blasted out seemed to block its own rays creating an ove</description>

We are gonna be making our way down to the South of Thailand down to the islands by bus train plane and boat in a mere 36 hours.

                    <description>Eating organic rice and beans is something I turn my nose up at normally in supermarkets but now i think i know the true meaning We have decided to splash out on accommodation and pay the astronomical price of 800 Baht 16 pounds for our own mountain view bungalow about 5 km outside of Pai. Why you ask Cos it39s sooooo nice. After staying in budget huts this place is like a palace. It39</description>

                    <title>More time for Pai</title>
                    <description>Sunday afternoon brings yet more good news for us we39ve decided to stay longer in this awesome town of Pai. We were warnedtoldadvised that we would definitely want to spend more time here than we originally planned and now I see why. It has something for everyone and has a rural yet faintly urban charm. There is plenty to do here in the day and also the night. There are a couple of clubs</description>

                    <description>Hello hello helloI have finally got myself into gear and added some photos from the last few days in Pai and added them to some previous posts. I hope they give you a good feel of the place. Last night was a goodun meeting some friends and then seeing more and more people we knew along the way until we were a huge multinational group all chilling together. There was even a girl from Tenby the</description>

                    <description>Another morning in Pai means getting up and trying to manoevre out of our hut as gracefully as possible getting out of the mosquito net that we put up ourselves and trying not to bump your head on the low wooden roof. Once that has been successfully negotiated its time to go about your day In the town of Pai there is a fair selection of street food available  but one man who seems to be const</description>

                    <description>Well we had heard the hype we39d read the reviews and we thought it was about time we had a 39slice39 of the pai. So that is exactly what we did .. and we are so glad we bothered We got a minibus up to Pai which is in Northern Thailand about 3 hours away from Chang Mai where we were last staying. We were warned about the 39bendy39 journey but honestly it was the craziest journey i</description>

                    <description>Today was our first real day where we havent had plans to go anywhere or do anything in particular. We said last night that we should get out and see Chiang Mai today and thats exactly what we did. Sort of.We had a slightly delayed start due to heavy heads from randomnly coming across a reggae bar with an awesome all Thai live band mainly playing Bob Marley and covers of famous songs like 39</description>

                    <title>Just a normal day....</title>
                    <description>Today I have mainly washed elephants and fed them fruit by hand so just a normal day really. WOW. It was unreal. Walking into the park being surrounded by these majestic giants felt like being in the land before time or something. It was so cool to see. We paid 2500 Baht each 25quid to essentially be volunteers for the day at Elephant Nature Park. The idea is that there are about 30 nellys who </description>

Because we have Just to let everyone know we arrived up north and we are well and safe etc ... only instead of being an overnight express it took us until 7 in the evening the next day .. 24 hours after we got on it Apparently that is normal for his country and it was certainly an experience. The train was air conditioned and lovely and clean with a buffet cart that was like a bad 90s di</description>

                    <description>We had to check out of our bangkok hotel this morning and so ended the planned part of our trip It was either find somewhere else for the night and do some sight seeing we really havent had chance to do yet .. or make like a banana and split .... which we did. We have now booked our train and are about to head north to Chiang Mai .. which is a 14 hour train journey from here .... and doesn39</description>

                    <description>So here we are after a very very long journey we39ve finally arrived in Bangkok. And what a city it is It certainly lives up to its reputation of being loud chaotic and humid especially humidBut despite these things it has a wonderfully laid back vibe to it and so far we39ve loved everything we39ve seen.We39re staying on the Khao San Road which is a real travellers haunt and rig</description>
