Have left the big smoke (literally) of Bangkok.. Sky was grey with pollution all the time. I can see why so many people who live there wear face masks all the time.
We flew down to Krabi to begin our island hopping 2 days ago. It's beautiful here! Clear sky's sandy beaches but just soooo hot!

Everything is so cheap here. 3 course meal and drinks for less than £10. You feel kind of guilty paying so little, but apparently they make profit from that. 1 hour massages for £3....

Went out to the James Bond island where the 'man with the golden gun' is set. Never even seen the film but thought I still had to go! It was such a nice place.

Will update when we have moved islands xx
