So the couple of days I spent In krabi were ok, not very productive as to be honest knowing the days ahead of me were going to be hectic I just decided to relax, enjoy the friendly atmosphere at the good dreams guesthouse, watch a few films with other backpackers, eat some tasty dishes they had to offer in the resturant outside my room and basically relax. I took a walk round krabi briefly, the town it's self isn't amazing but it's very calm, peaceful and has some beautiful views. The staff at the guesthouse were friendly and chatty. Many comments were made when I showed them a picture of me with straight long hair which was amusing, that's happened a few times now. I'm actually writing this in Krabi airport although I won't be able ... read more

Wow i've been here for ages but I absolutely love it here, so laid back, friendly people, no stress at all!! The other day me and Stu got up in the early hours in the morning to get a day of fishing in (i honestly would never have guessed how much I enjoy it) went and got some food, although i wasn't feeling very well... not used to getting up after a couple hours sleep!! Got some fishing supplies.. this time we bought live bait in the form of worms which we thought was a great idea! Got a net to put our catches in, not a big net as we weren't that optimistic but still enough room for a few fish. Picked up some more fishfood stuff and some weights for the lines then headed ... read more

The night after I published my last blog was quite an interesting one... The ladyboy that we met the other night came into the internet cafe (ill refer to him as her/she as thats what she wants to be) Stuart told me she comes in quite a lot. She was doing dances and all sorts which was highly entertaining. Thats her way of meeting men on the internet... it is a strange culture though. Yesterday I went round all the war cemetarys with stuart which was really interesting, hundreds of allied soldiers who died, the stones were beautifully laid out and the place was clearly well looked after. One stone stood out from the others, it was a man who was 21 and on it was a note from his son who visited a few days ... read more

Kanchanaburi is really nice, not all of it but the places i've seen so far have been amazing. So much history here and the culture is clearly influenced by it, even though thousands of people come to visit, the area hasn't become a tourist attraction which is great. Day 1 in Kanchanaburi Anyway the 1st day I arrived I had a rest as I was exhausted from the traveling mayhem from the morning. Woke up and went and got some food from the guesthouse restaurant... well i say from the guesthouse restaurant but actually what they do is order it from a local place and have i delivered lol. Then met a girl who is volunteering at tiger temple which sounds amazing, I wish i could of done it but you have to stay there for ... read more

So it's my last night in chiang mai. Yesturday was really good. Had my shave which was just amazing, started off my just laying down having a wet towel massaged over my face, then came the really monty smelling shaving foam, rubbed some of that in, then out came the cut throat blade and away she went, felt good!! I was just loving every second, so much so I was nodding off to sleep. Sean was having his done at the same time. After the shave part she rubbed aftershave in which stung loads but only for a minute, a few minutes later I got to feel the finished product and boy did it feel good. Well worth £1.70!! Yay for cheap labour! We then headed off into the Sunday Market which was amazing, loads of ... read more
