Published: April 6th 2008

Just to explain, the Thai use "same same but different" when dealing with tourists' questions. As this doesn't make sense if not fully explained it confuses (and very often frustrates) foreigners e.g. why are you telling me that the tour you're offering today is same same but different to that tour tomorrow?!. it means 'Yes, something kind of similar to that, but not the exactly s...

W końcu ..........after 4 years in London I decided to take a break from the hussle and bustle and treat myself to a 'round the world' ticket. 18th May 2007 - my last working day in London. Then a weekend in Holland with my friends, followed by 3 weeks in Poland to recharge my batteries and I'm off. On 13th June 2007 my adventure will begin...... “Only he that has traveled the road knows where the holes are deep” ... full info

some crazy women on a motorbike

this is how much we enjoyed!!! renting a motorbike is the best way to explore islands in Thailand, there are no buses and tuk-tuk drivers usually try to rip you off

bonfire night at Cookies

with Casi and Fiona (left) getting bitten by mossies

awesome swing on one of many beaches on Koh Phangang

a typical restaurant on the beach

girls could easily spend an entire day in such a place (naturally my restless nature didn't allow me and i would have to go for a swim ,snorkel or just a walk - just to be doing something), girls know what a nuisance i was with my permanently itchy feet..

watching the sunset

Roxy and Fiona in our bungalow

10 meters away from the beach, what a life!

a girls' night out

view on our beach

local food market

we ate at this market every night, cheep, delicious, diverse and clean!

my Magic family reunion at Cookies

i knew these guys from New Zealand (Jacko, Leigh and Mal) as we had been travelling together (those who follow my blogs should recognise them). (I met Aby - right, in Cookies) I was shocked when one day i saw them checking into the same resort on the island with 1000 other resorts(I just knew they were staying on a next-door island). what are the odds?!

one-size pants!

Jacko checking his brand new "fisherman" pants, you would not believe how popular they were! (and comfy apparently (well, being so triple super extra large they have to be), i never got a pair though - my backpack was heavy enough at this stage)

time for my diary

on a tiny gorgeous island just off Koh Phangang (you can walk to get there as water is shallow in the point joining the two islands). This island is said to have the great snorkelling but i was unlucky as visibility had been really bad since some time and i couldn't even find this "amazing" snorkelling spot....

Roxy saving her belongings from getting wet

Cookies bungalow

with a great bunch of people i was hanging out with, just before going out.

Full Moon Party night - 24th March

this wasn't on the actual full moon night (21st March). The party was moved by 3 days because of a Buddhist celebration and then because of political elections in the country. When it happens all sorts of alcohol are banned from selling, so people can't party.....
