Well, I’m still here.  Lying in my hammock.  Half reading.  Half dozing.  Wholly chilled to the max.  Time continues to go nice, smooth and slow for the Weselby - Muju collective having their holiday here at Harmony Beach Resort on Ko Phangan.  But I don’t want to …

Because I actually enjoy half moon so much, I decided to go and try full moon also. This time, I would like to make it a bit easier than the half moon trip and bring our own pickup truck from Phuket and drive to the Ko Pha Ngan. We book the same bungalow “Paradice in ‘Tong Nai Parn Noi’ Beach…

DAY 1 We got up early at 7 am and hailed a pick up to take us to the ferry terminal to catch the ferry to Koh Phangan. We got to the ferry point and had to pay a stupid amount of money to get to the island and waited for the ferry to come. Whilst waiting for the ferry a guy came up to us and sho…

I thought this was going to be a normal day. Well as normal as possible considering that I didn't have much planned at all as I was traveling down to Kuala Lumpur. When I booked my ticket the guy told me it was my boat ticket to Dom Sak, bus then to Surat Thani then minibus down to Kuala Lumpur…

Arrived at 6am this morning and got taxi truck to the place we wanted to stay. Obviously as it was 6am nowhere was open so we sat on the beach near a place we thought looked good and waited. In the end everywhere was full so got a taxi to Hat Rin. here we found a good place to stay. Then we hired …

fun...party!

Fly into Koh Samui with Youssef. Totally open air terminal with thatch roof, very cool (reminds me of Punta Cana). A driver is waiting to pick us in a Toyota minibus to deliver us to the ferry for the ride to Koh Phangan. Met some backpackers on the ferry from all over, and some even from San Diego…

I took a taxi to Thongsala, where the Ferries off the island leave. Did soe shopping there and waited for my speedboat which left at noon. I seized my time on the speedboat almost like on my way to Koh Phangan! About an hour before arrival in Chumporn, I got into a conversation with two Thai girls.…

Happy New Year to you all!!! We've had a great new year over here. Yesterday me Ads and Ben went diving (well Ben snorkelled) at Sail Rock which is a popular dive site about an hour from here. It was the hightlight of my year if not my life as we saw a WHALE SHARK!!! I was so in awe and felt …

Spent about two months in Thailand, never made it to the north, next time I guess.

So we woke up after a heavy night at 11am, thats early for me you know considering we only got back in about 2 hours earlier. We wanted to fit alot in today so we packed a day bag and jumped on our rented 4x4, two in the front (me driving) 2 on the back (open air). About 20 mins north of our accom…

on the west coast of koh pha gnan we stayed at Grand Sea Resort... which is a very nice actual resort Resort, not like the cheaper places we've been staying at so far.. i prefer the more rugged places, makes me feel like a real backpacker, but this place was definitely a touristing place... it had …

I recommend the Queen Victoria inn at Chiang Mai to anyone going there. Staff are friendly, the owner John is a gent(although aussie, but we won't hold that against him) and its real good quality rooms for the price of around 9pound a night. I didn't really do anything the first few days here, bec…

Mid-morning, Haad Rin Espresso Bar, the spot for English breakfast teaLast night, the 'rainy season' finally made itself apparent!  Monsoon-style downpour.  Had a small stream running down the path by our bungalow.  I went to bed.  Thought we would get up and go to the beach par…

I visted Koh Phangan for more than a week, taking in the build up to the full moon party, the big event itself and a few days chilling out afterwards. Its a great island - but only if you get out of Haadrin sometimes - dont be a tourist and just stay there because its busy - go explore.
