Today is boxing day! We started the day, by having brunch in our favourite cafe again! We then visted the medical centre, as Onie has had an aweful rash all over her tummy and back, and has been feeling a bit under the weather! Luckily he gave her some Antihistamine and we were kindly given a bottle of Calamine by the guy we are hiring our bike off, and she is feeling better! We then drove to Khlong Phlu waterfall, and walked the 500m throught the forest to it! Even though we hadn't brought our swimming costumes, Rik was soooo hot and sweaty from the treck...he just dived in fully clothed! The locals were climbing up the cliff mountain, and jumping into the water! So of course Rik joined in! We chilled out there for a ... read more

So after 12 hours of travelling from Sihanoukville (Cambodia) to Ko Chang (Thailand), via 3 buses and a ferry...we finally arrived!!! Ko Chang is awesome! We are definalty looking foward to spending Christmas here! The main life here is situated along the west coast, and the beaches here are stunning! Instead of staying in the hustle and bustle of White Sands and Lonely Beach (which isn't so lonely), we have decided to stay just outside Bang Boa which is situated on the south-west tip of the island, and is famous for its chilled out atmospher! Right up our street! The resort we are staying at is sooo cool! Its called Cliff Cottage Resort and it consists of 30 wooden huts, all postioned high up on a cliff edge! The people that run it are super friendly, ... read more

After arriving back from Laos we spent a day and a night in Bangkok, which gave us a chance to catch up with our friend Liam and also to sort the trip to our current location Ko Chang. We stayed at a much cheaper guest house this time. The rooms were OK its just slightly off koh san road - the main tourist strip -which makes it cheaper. It also had some amazing views over the river from the roof. We got the bus / ferry from Bangkok to Ko Chang early on Monday morning and got to Lonely beach on the south of the island just as it was getting dark on Monday night. Its so good to be at the beach! The beach is palm tree lined and water is clear and warm like ... read more

KO CHANG - reisen dit og første dagen på en ny øy. Etter noen fantastiske dager på Ko Samet hadde vi bestemt oss for å ta turen lengre sør. Nærmere bestemt til Ko Chang. Thailands største øy, og som ligger helt sør-øst, faktisk ikke så langt fra Cambodia. Det er mye usikkert vær i disse dager, men dette stedet hadde en forsåvidt brukbar værmelding. Vi startet søndag 15 nov med en flott båttur Fra Ko Samet på morgenen, og deretter ca 3 timer i en minibuss, før vi igjen tok en båttur ut til Ko Chang. På fastlandet bestilte vi sted og bo for 3 netter. Ikke lett å velge når man ikke er kjent, men valget falt på White Sand beach, og et sted med det flotte navnet Alinas Beach Resort. Etter å ha ankommet ... read more
