Asia » Thailand » North-West Thailand » Chiang Mai April 26th 2009

So last night I went to a local pub to watch the football and chill out for a while played some pool and had a few drinks. The place had wifi so I booked a flight from Krabi down south to Kuala Lumpa to avoid a two day journey of hell but more importantly to avoid the regular bombings and kidnapps that happen in the most southern points in Thailand between Muslim extremists. The travel people refused to sell me a bus/train ticket to cross the border because they didn't want me to get hurt... Aww. Also the flight worked out cheaper as it cost £26 lol against the total faff of train, bus, ferry, bus, train which was £45. So yeah that's all done. After the match we went to a reggae district and chilled ... read more

Asia » Thailand » North-West Thailand » Chiang Mai April 24th 2009

So... where to begin!!! I left Bangkok at about 6pm on the worst coach ride of my life!!! 13 hours it took, leather seats.. not good when your a million degrees and dripping like you've just had a shower... nothing is worse than sticking to leather!! The air con was broke which really annoyed an american guy who shouted about it for about half hour. Then the lights went out which annoyed him even more, never have i seen someone so stressed about such a small thing as to lights!! Seriously was crazy! Tried to negotiate round the small space i had to get into a fairly comfy position to try and get some sleep but with very little luck, i thought i was lucky to have a double seat, how very wrong i was...

Asia » Thailand » Central Thailand » Bangkok April 20th 2009

So... I finally made it to Thailand!! Can you beleive it!! I slept most of the flight, i managed to request a window seat which was really nice, no one was in the seat next to me which meant i had more room... I slept most of the way here, watched Marly and Me which passed the time, ate dinner and breakfast which was good seeing as its probably the best meal ill have in a while. So got out the airport, went through immigration which was fine, no problems there. When i got out the airport thats when I realised I have no plans... I remembered the name of a hotel that a friend told me about so that seemed the place to go... I went to the taxi office and told them where i ... read more

Europe » United Kingdom » England April 19th 2009

So... I'm sitting in heathrow airport, said goodbye to mum and dad, nick and kim. I nearly cried but managed to hold it in. My tounge bar set the metal detectors off again, alway a fun one. I'm really excited but my heart is beating a million beats a second, I'm more nervous than I have ever been but I no that the fact I'm at the airport has shocked the nation. My flight leaves at 10.15, it lands in Bangkok at 3.30pm local time, it's about 33c which will probably kill me. I think my first hostel has the net so fingers crossed I'll be able to update this soon. Miss everyone so much already. Love :) Xxx xxX ... read more

Thailand's PM has declared a state of emergency because riots have broken out across Thailand demanding for his resignation :s The foreign office has advised that anyone traveling to Thailand (my first stop!!) "urgently review plans" Just thought I'd let you all know :) If I was terrified before, i'm not actually sure what i'm going to do now. Yay... read more
