Supergirland Wonderwoman

Our time had finally come to leave Phi Phi; so with our bags all packed, we said our final goodbyes to Susan and promised to keep in touch. We headed down to the pier and got straight onto the boat; we sat down and looked at each realising our adventure was to still continue. Once we got to Krabi, we were due to get a free transfer to Ao nang, but when we arrived at the pier we were told that the waves were big and we couldn’t go or pay 400 baht each to get a long tail boat to Railay. Thinking we were already wise to this we headed on and spoke to someone else who said 150 baht each; feeling proud that we had mastered the battering and overcome the cons; we got ... read more

So our stay on Koh Phi Phi Island continues and after 7 weeks of living, working and partying here it’s starting to feel like our home. We have made some amazing friends and explored the island some more. For those of you who have never been to Phi Phi your missing out, for those of you have…you have been to paradise! It has it all, amazing beaches, friendly people and not a car or moped in sight. The island is linked together by a maze of cobbled streets. So small it would be very hard to get lost (Although we have witnessed several drunken people walking around in circles) everywhere you go you see friendly and familiar faces and all of us who work/live here are like one big family. Tourists come and go daily and ... read more

Our day started early ready for our boat trip to Koh Phangan, we had breakfast of tea and toast before we got picked up and dropped at Nathon pier. When we arrived we found a seat and took in the people around us. One thing that we had observed more and more were the amount of families that travelled, with young children. We don’t understand how a 5 year old can understand the beauty of Thailand and for a young child to have to go through the travelling is surely unfair. Once we got on the boat we headed downstairs and as we sat down noticed a group of boys, and amongst them was our friend from Bangkok, Lewis! The best thing about travelling is you will just bump into the same people again without even ... read more

Arriving at Baan rom mai we settled into our room by spreading our stuff around and finally hanging up some clothes. We had a quick dip in the pool after another sweaty journey then headed off to the beach in search of some food. Chaweng beach couldn’t have been more different to the one we had just left in koh Tao, all along the beach front were big posh hotels with fancy restaurants We learnt this when we sat down at the first place we came across and embarrassed as we couldn’t afford anything of the menu just asked for 2 fantas which ended up costing the same amount as we had paid for a full meal and drinks in Bangkok. After walking about 2 miles down the sandy beach we decided to stop at arc ... read more

After a very sad and emotional goodbye at Heathrow to our parents we set off on our journey to travel the world. (South East Asia and Australia!) After going round the corner and making it through the security checks, Danni was then pulled over to have her bag checked for bomb residue; she obviously looked a bit dodgy! After they discovered she wasn’t carrying a bomb we made it to our executive lounge for a well-earned glass of champers and some vodka as well as all the cheese we could eat!! Arriving in Bangkok the following day we had the challenge of trying to life our bags off the conveyer belt and then search for a taxi to take us to khao san road. Whilst waiting in line a guy asked us where we were ... read more
