hehe, ok this one needs a bit of a photojournal- if you haven'yt figured it out yet, to see all of the photos you have to first click on the one below and then click the link above it that says 'previous'. i'm not sure i like the photo system on this site... it's confusing. Anyway, I've been riding a motorbike around for the last two days and I'm thoroughly addicted!! It's the ONLY way to travel! (and on $1 for a tank of fuel, the cheapest!) I found wome waterfall today in the jungle and went up to the top of it where there was a viewpoint over the whole island. It was nice. I read my book for a while and then bathed in the crystal waters :P Having a "Bungalow Warming" tonight. I've ... read more

Hello cats, Thanks again for all your coments, keep umm coming. Well we've been busy bunnies since are last chat. Thea passed her open water diving course so she can now dive anywhere in th world to 18meters. Well done Thea..... The evening thea finished diving we hopped onto a boat heading for Ko Pha Ngan for the legendary Full Moon Party. We went over with this real funny Aussie bloke called Brentan who made friends with people so quickly we ended up with a little party gang before we even got to the party. Pics below, such a blast. After recovering we went to Ko Samui to chill out for Theas last 3 days. We booked into the sweetest hotel, massive room with a remote control that controlled everything, lights air con, TV, Thea (just ... read more

After recovering from our huge full moon party experience Pete and I decided to rent motor cycles(sorry mum) and discover more of the island. We quickly learnt a few disturbing things about riding motor bikes on the island. 1. Only about 1/4 of the island's roads are actually asphalt. The rest being dirt, steep and down right dangerous. 2. The maps don't make much sense So with our mid-20's "pffftt as if chicken out" attitude we headed off as fast as we could! Our first stop was Wat Purna - a Budda who was erected approximately 100 years ago (we think, documentation is slim). The funny thing is, we had to turn off the main road, down a dirt track and then down another smaller dirt track to find him. It was like nobody cared about ... read more

Hey All, after doing two huge nights in Bangkok it was time for us to head out to the Full Moon party on the island of Ko Pa Ngan which is in the south east of Thailand. We left at 5:30 in the afternoon in a luxury double decker bus and headed over night to Suratthani (a port) then a 2.5 hour boat trip first to Koh Samui where some people got off and then onto Ko Pha Ngan. The bus trip was quite fun as we quickly hooked up with some party animals in the downstairs area and got on the beers! In the "Party Room" we had the four Poms Chris, John, Ally(where are you?) & Natasha. Next we had the Vikings(Danish) with Angry Anna and Charlotta. Finally we had a few other randoms ... read more
