We arrived in Chiang mai about 7am and headed for our hostel which was called City Capsule Hostel. The man who runs it was so lovely and so helpful organising trips and taxis for us and giving us recommendations for things to do. We had booked our cooking ... Read more >

Sadly the bus didnt serve dinner at all, just a sachet of coffee (with no hot water) and a banana muffin. The trip was long and not the comfiest, but it was so cheap so you can't really complain. On the plus side I absolutely love Bangkok, it is everything ... Read more >

Koh Lanta was pretty uneventful. The ferry across took about an hour and a half and was fine and we spent the afternoon on the beach near our hostel which was called M hostel. The hostel was nice enough, when we arrived they gave us these green sweets ... Read more >

We got to Phi Phi about half 4 after a fairly long and painful journey where we thought we were going to miss our ferry because the bus company had a mess up with the buses. We had to run for the ferry but it was fine because it was waiting for us. When ... Read more >

The full moon party was on the 23rd. It's basically a massive party on the beach that is held here every full moon, its quite famous and is the main reason people come to Koh Phangan. It was really fun and we'd heard that a lot of people get pickpocketed ... Read more >

We spent the 22nd in Haad rin, shopping and on the beach. The beach and the sea was so lovely and I can already see why people end up staying in Thailand for longer than they plan to. It's so chilled here, everyone is really friendly and its ... Read more >

We are currently sat on our second plane of the day over half way through our very long travel day. So far so good. We've had a few hiccups - taking the wrong shuttle bus from Bangkok to Don Meuang and a bit of a dodgy stomach - but it just meant we ... Read more >

We arrived in Negombo about half 1 so the journey - despite some horrible traffic - wasn't as long as expected. We checked into the hotel - Sahasra - which is quite nice, the bathroom is utter luxury compared to what we're used to but still only three ... Read more >

We left the hotel about 11 to make our way to climb Dambulla Rock stopping on the way at a spice garden. In the spice garden they grow all sorts like cardamom, cocoa, coffee, cinamon, cloves, pepper and more that I can't even remember. He took us round ... Read more >

We left the hotel around 10 after having breakfast - we each had a thin omelette, a slice of pineapple, a banana and some bread. The bread here is always served stale which is so odd.
The roads were really windy again which again made everyone feel ... Read more >

Checking out of the hotel was a blinking nightmare. We went down to do it and no one had any idea how much we had to pay and they didn't speak very good English. We sat waiting for a while and then they called the owner who must have been away for a ... Read more >
