Hello bloggers Well, we really enjoyed Tropic Thunder along with a few beers or in my case a few rums!! The next day picked upby taxi and taken to Haad Son to a fabulous bungalow with a swimming pool that overlooked the sea. We had four nights and really enjoyed it although it did rain for about an hour in the morning - shame! Found a wonderful restaurant called Heavenly (about 100 steps up to get to it - well 50!) good food and lovely people - great view. Apart from sitting by the pool every day and swimming (temp. about 40 degrees) went to Heavenly every evening. On our last day we were supposed to be out of the room by 10.00 and after negotitation we stayed until 4.00 without any extra payment - taxi ... read more

We arrived in Bangkok on Saturday - nearly a week ago now. Bit miffed on the flight that our online check in had been disregarded and the seats given to a BABY. I mean come on. We were far more entitled to those extra legroom numbers than a baby. They bumped us to the back - the worst seat on the plane - next to the emergency exit - where some germans felt a need to stand and speak shit about where they had been on holiday - very loudly. So in summary - CHINA AIRLINES - YOU SUCK. We stepped off the plane into the tunnel and it immediately felt cosy as Melissa would say. After a healthy 60 min wait at Thai immigration we realised - Hey this is Thai time - we are ... read more

Hello there. It was ages since I last did a blog so I might have some trouble remembering it all but I'm sure fine detalails don't matter too much! Since the last time I blogged we were about to embark on our journey to Burma to get 15 more days in Thailand stamped on our passports. The journey was pretty tedious. It started on a night boat that just had mats along the floor where everyone had to sleep right next to eachother. I didn't have it too bad as I was between some decent Irish guy and Jay but Jay was between me and a fat Russian fella, bad times. Either way it still felt like a refugee boat! Once we got to the mainland in the morning be got some food and were put ... read more

After an extensive breakfast we finished our packing and took some final walks along the beach to say farewell to the squeaky sand. It was a real shame to be leaving as we could easily have spent a couple of weeks at this resort if our finances could have coped with that. Unfortunately for us they couldn’t. When it came to checking out we were pleased to see no mention of the Emerald Cave trip on the bill. We signed it off quickly and hit the pool for the last hour before a long tail was due to pick us up to take us to Charlie’s Beach where we were due to meet the speedboat. Matt was convinced that they’d felt guilty for the confusion from the previous day so had given us the trip for ... read more

What a Paradise Island! We spent 11 days over Christmas and New Year on Koh Lipe - Thailand’s most southern Island. We came here by speedboat from Langkawi/Malaysia and our boarder check-in into Thailand took place in a bamboo hut on the beach. We spend most of our time with soaking up the sun at the beach, reading, eating and doing nothing. One day we went with a longboat to some of the surrounding islands, which are uninhabited and have lots of great snorkeling spots just off the beaches. We think that the photos tell more than words. Have a look and be jealous ;-) Was fuer ein Inselparadies! Die letzten 11 Tage haben wir hier auf Koh Lipe verbracht - Thailands suedlichste Insel. Wir sind per Speedboat von Malaysia nach Thailand eingereist und unseren Pass-Stempel ... read more
