Staying in a jungle hut and living with the monkeys
The last time I updated you guys was from Ko Phi Phi. Since then I’ve travelled by boat to the beautful penisula of Railay. The place feels like an island as the only way to access the place is by boat as its surrounded by limestone cliffs. Thus the place is car free and not &hellip Continue reading
Fire, fun and fighting at Ko Phi Phi
Yesterday was probably my best day, although I’ve had so many its hard to tell! The tour was amazing, I’d definitely reccomend it and would do it again without hesitation. (Price for those interested is 550BT). The highlights for me were snorkeling and Maya bay (the location for the film “The Beach”) Fortunately the sun &hellip Continue reading

The bus departed at 2pm and now cue the longest journey of my life. Longer than even flights &hellip Continue reading
Sunburn, sweat, streetlife and stray dogs
Today met up with Pong, a mate of mine from my course who lives in Bangkok. We went on boats, cars, mono-rail (the skytrain) and tuk-tuks (the ultimate way to travel! although not if you want to live). He was an amazing travel guide and I could not have been more fortunate in knowing him. &hellip Continue reading
