We booked this resort online and got a bargain! It's the end of the high season and there was barely anyone there. On our first night, there was one other couple and for the 4 days we were there, we had the pool to ourselves. We spent the time doing absolutely nothing but reading and relaxing! We only left the resort once to go to the nearest beach but it was so hot with no shade and the water was quite rough so we stopped for about an hour and then headed back to the tranquility of our private pool!! One morning, as there was no one around, we decided to play a bit of football by the pool and then did some keepy-uppies. We have a new camera which has a continious shot function so ... read more

Got lots to update you all on, as I haven't written on here since I got to Thailand! Our first stop was Ao Nang, where we met our friend Em, who had been teaching there for 2 months. We stayed only for one night as it was quite expensive because it was so touristy. The beach was really nice though and there was an amazing ice-cream restaurant there, which suited us all fine! Then we headed to Koh Phi Phi, which is a really beautiful island. Our first night we stayed on a really quiet beach, in a tiny shack, but it was absolutely stunning. White sand, clear water, and really hot...heaven! It was a bit too quiet there, so we headed to the harbour town the next night. We stayed in a guesthouse run by ... read more

We left Bangkok after some few days there. Getting in contact with a swedish guy and an english talker. The english talker was sitting at our neighbor table in a restaurant. The reason why he talked was probably to impress the girl sitting with him. Talk talk talk. Talk talk talk. Talk talker talkest. Yeah, ballaballaboi. I don't have a clue of what to talk about. But I am a talkest myself, and my mouth doesn't stop rambling. Poor Dennis. His ears are probably damaged. From Bangkok we went by air to Krabi. The duration was one hour. And we got no food. Boooooo! Thihi. Me like airplane food. Keeps me busy with something, and I stop rambling for a very short while. Krabi: We went to the night market. Or I did. Been there before, ... read more

A Thai, five Fins, two Canadians went fishing..... No this is not the start of a joke. We went fishing again with a better captin on a bigger boat with the same results as last time, no fish. We went with Tomeh, Oleh, Japo, Temu, Maija (the Fins(*sp names) Nit (Thai), Sindy and myself and of course Captin Bong (not kidding). We didn't catch anything but some sunrays and a good buzz. Nit runs the little bar we all have been gathering at for the last two weeks and we felt he needed a holiday and kidnaped him for the afternoon. Again same problem with uploading pictures so once again they will come later. We are trying to make plans go move on some where else but they are not coming easy and we are now ... read more

Hello everybody. sorry for waiting such a long time to write a blog again just that on the islands they charge a lot for internet use so we are quite limited. havent done a lot of travelling since koh phi phi, only made the boat trip to koh lanta. after doin really good snorkelling in phi phi we decided to try diving as it is really good in this area. we had a free taster session in the sea for a bit and loved it so we decided to take our PADI open water diver (certification to say that we can dive on our own with no instructor etc.). Its a four day course and today is our day off in between where we have to "study" apparently and learn all the theory from the textbook. ... read more
