Here it is!  Paradise by the onboard lights of the overnight train!  South Thailand where beauty is affordable and easy.  Beautiful islands with corals ringing them and white sand gracing their surfaces.  Well, after a pretty grim train journey with ... Read more >

First coupla days

It has been a few days since I arrived in Bangkok and the time is literally flying. The flight over here was as gruesome as 16 hours in the air might sound. Not going to bore you with the details but one thing that I've learned from two shady sales men ... Read more >

So here it is, the final chapter in the story.  After 6 unbelievably amazing/fulfilling/insane/enjoyable months, I am now in Bangkok awaiting my flight home on Sunday night, arriving back in London on Monday.  Following on from Bali, Dan, Cat and I ... Read more >

Smarmyville (aka Koh Samui)

First, let me just say, "I hate Koh Samui."  In fact, I hate it so much that if Chaweng Beach broke off the island and fell into the ocean it would only be an improvement. (OK...maybe I shouldn't put that bad kind of energy into the universe, ... Read more >

Flight of the Gibbon!

Swinging through the jungle on zip lines, clamoring over suspension bridges and abseiling down trees made for a very exciting, Tarzan-like time!  The course is called "Flight of the Gibbon" and it consists of over 18 platforms and is a total ... Read more >

I decided I like the train again. Its preferable to riding the bus and ferry for over 10 hours. I've always read that those born with an astrological sign of Cancer usually love the water and at one point in my life, I think this was true. But it ... Read more >

Bangkok Craziness!

We decided to get the overnight train from Chaing Mai to Bangkok which took 12hours and I was so impressed with this service. The train actually left on time which is always a bonus, I had my own bed with curtains and a little reading light, it was ... Read more >

We finally made a plan in Singapore and decided to fly to Chaing Mai in Thailand. The first flight from Singapore to KL went swimmingly, we had a 6 hour wait at KL airport and thought 'we can find somewhere to have a cheeky little nap'! I expected ... Read more >

Banging in and out of Bangkok

Pattaya is the sleaze capital of Thailand - it's worse than a EU stag do destination: this is where old men retire to drink cheap beer and find a young Thai lady. Lots of shaved (or grey) heads, tatoos and sun burns. Oli had more hair than all the ... Read more >
