I managed to meet the boys yesterday (thank goodness)and it was time to take on Bangkok city centre. We managed to find a good youth hostel (Siam Oriental); well, it has beds and a/c at least! The hostel is located on Khao San Road, which can only really ... Read more >

There's a Camel in my pool

Wed, 2 Sep 2009 | By tnj4884 | Views [59]

Life is Dahab has been fairly uneventful. Work has been very slow, and way too many days have been spent in the shop surfing the internet. So we have been looking into our other options.  When we first came started at Octopus divers, we met this group ... Read more >

Koh Samui

Mon, 31 Aug 2009 | By alistair | Views [60]

  I hadn’t booked ahead for accommodation on Koh Samui, relying on the advice of my ‘Rough Guide to South East Asia’. I randomly picked the ‘Your Place Resort’ as it was cheap and cheerful and on the beach at Chaweng. Chaweng is the main hub ... Read more >

Samui

Sun, 30 Aug 2009 | By amy_smith | Views [71] | Comments [1]

After a 12 hour train ride, a two hour bus ride, and a two hour ferry ride we arrived on the island of Samui! [sidebar: sleeping trains are not what they appear to be in olden day movies, there is nothing glamourous about it at all] We are staying in ... Read more >

Koh Tao island - scuba diving

Thu, 27 Aug 2009 | By alistair | Views [98] | Comments [1]

The Thai people have a lot of respect for their elders and while I don’t personally consider my self an “elder” I suspect that I’ve been given some advantageous treatment lately.   [I consider myself a 27 year old trapped in a 47 year old body] ... Read more >

Koh Wai - Paradise just keeps getting better!

Tue, 25 Aug 2009 | By heathergay | Views [161] | Comments [2]

Hi all, just a quick update as internet here is very precarious, and EXPENSIVE. I am on a wee island called Koh Wai, about an hour from Koh Chang, and just stunning. I hear from others there are other islands, Koh maak, and koh Kut, so next boat, I think ... Read more >

Bangkok - first impressions

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 | By alistair | Views [76]

Bangkok is mostly hustle and bustle, yet with areas of peace and tranquility; some parts decadent and yet generally conservative. I love it, but I suspect that it’s best served in small doses. The flight to Bangkok via Kuala Lumpur was a ... Read more >

Bangkok

Sun, 23 Aug 2009 | By amy_smith | Views [84] | Comments [1]

I want to take every Thai person we've met, fold them up and put them in my pocket. I love it here! So, I had about 13 hours of travel time between Athens and Bangkok, with a quick stopover in Bahrain, which actually looks like a really cool place, ... Read more >

Bangkok and Ko Samui

Thu, 20 Aug 2009 | By matsmith | Views [76]

Spending a day in Bangkok was great, there was just so many things to do and see that we wished we could stay longer. The city is much more expensive than anywhere we'd yet visited but we decided to stay in the city and visit the royal palace and emerald ... Read more >

Another day in Paradise! (No it is, it really is!)

Mon, 17 Aug 2009 | By heathergay | Views [114] | Comments [2]

  Here I am, still at the beautiful KaiBae beach at Koh Chang sitting out the most magnificent thunder storm - just starting my 2nd week here. I have learnt a big lesson, paying ahead for 2 weeks is not the most sensible thing to do, even though it did ... Read more >
