Ok so it was already like 7Am in the morning by the time our heads had hit our pillows and we had a boat to krabi booked for 9Am, hhhhmmm you would think that we would have done the sensible thing and stay awake untill we had to leave but since we were already packed we decided to get an hour …

My plan was to travel from Chiang Mai to the beautiful island of Koh Samui. First I traveled from Chiang Mai to Bangkok by plane. You'll have to be about 1,5 hour before departure at the airport, so I took a taxi from my hotel in Chiang Mai to the airport. It was about a fifteen minute drive so it …

Well ... we were awake early in day 7 as the sleeper train was due to get into the station at 6:30 .... but it turned out to be late ... and didn't get into the station until about 7:30! It was a good thing that we asked a nice english speaking gentleman, were we at the right station because we wou…

A trip to Southern Thailand (Khao Sok National Park, Koh Phan Ngan, Koh Samui, Surat Thani, Bangkok).

On Samui I stayed for a week on Lamai beach. Hat Lamai is more tranquil than its overbuilt neighbor, Hat Chawin up the coast. But even on Hat Lamai I noticed that environmental degradation is beginning to show up in the form of raw sewage in the water.....with plastic bottles and some unmentionab…

So I left Koh Phangan in the horrible rainstorm just to arrive back in good old Surat Thani for the 3rd. time in 10 days...There is'nt much to do in this town, except for looking for a way out. Try not to get ripped by the travel operators there, good idea to have some knowledge of how much the jou…

Ko Phangan was beautiful, I can see why people stay for so long, three weeks for me, and I could stay longer, but it's time to go home, the money is all gone, 16 weeks thought.  I have so many memories.  Surat Thani is not really a place that you want to stop in Thailand, but this act…

I decided to move to Thailand on my own for 3 months past summer... This was definitely the best decision I made in my whole life :) Next trip, Asia, starting September 09'

The overnight train took twelve hours. The ride was fairly comfortable in wide seats that only slightly reclined but Dave and I managed to doze. Approaching Surit Thani, the sky began to lighten and we sat the last hour in the open door-way absorbing the thick and heavy jungle air. A two-hour bus r…

Hi all,Well have had a very busy few days in Thailand so far, where we eventually made it after 15 HOURS in a minivan - the flooding was very widespread so we had to attempt several border crossings before we found one that was open. Since then they have all been closed so we were really lucky to g…

Having ahd to change the flight because the earlier one would have involved us getting a night boat we got on the air asia plane, very nice, newly fitted on the inside and the air hostesses were quite anal about electronics on boardd, anyway a pleasant enough flight and there was a bit of space to …

08/06/09   It’s just not fair.  The three of us forced ourselves out of bed for the check out time and drowsily went to a restaurant to kill the first few hours.  The bus wasn’t leaving until 8:30pm and this was going to be a long long day.   Steph spotted Kin…
