Go for it! It is uber expensive, and you have really got to choose your destinations well because some of the beaches are awful. We did a day trip to one popular backpackers place (i.e. cheap!) and it was awful. Oarsman Bay Lodge on Nacula is definitely THE place to go. You can stay in a dorm and save a lot of money, but I would recommend splurging on a private room because they are gorgeous! The snorkelling off the beach here is some of the best snorkelling I´ve done off a beach, and was better than Ko Lipe. We did two dives, the first of which was really good - great vis, very warm water and coral on a par with the Whitsundays. I´m really glad we did it and would highly recommend it especially for beach bums like you two!.
Need advice... We fancy Fiji but it seems very expensive - flights and acccommodation, too. Would you highly recommend it? It looked like you had a great time... Was the snorkelling offshore good...or great...or fantastic?!
Holy Cow! Holy cow! You have just added a "place to visit" on my list! It looked fantastic, especially the shot with Andi on the beach with the seal - cute!!! Don't worry about the Inca Trail - take your time, take in the scenery, and you'll love it! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you for clear skies when you reach it on that last day. By the way, just got out of school, so now I am in to use my apple computer to get our two new iPods up and working!!! Beats a regular Monday!
We stayed at.. ..the place next door to where you recommended - Lampu House. It was cute and cheap but didn´t have a pool, although it pi$$ed down the entire time we were in Bangkok so would have been wasted!
Glad to see you´re finally back on the radar - guess school´s out for summer!!

Only just found the comments section - other people have been using the message facility. Sorry we've not replied - clearly still have a lot to learn about this travel blog malarky!
Excellent photos Hi guys,
It looks like you are having an amazing time, and the photos are great, but it makes me miss you more!!
Thailand looks gorgeous, inspite of the scary things in the sea!
I'll keep emailing you with the goss.
Have a great time. Love you both lots x

Isn´t it Lovely!
We have video footage of the place, which we can bore you with (along with all our other pictures) when we get home.
