New Year's day
Post hangover and alarm, we got up and ventured out. We hired a sea kayak and went around the headland - taking in monkeys and beautiful views, without a person in sight. Turns out I'm not great at managing a sea kayak, and having allowed ...

Out of Bangkok to Koh Chang
We slept well enough and were up at 8am for a miserable looking breakfast of watery orange, fruit and toast. Bacon and eggs were the saving grace and we had just put them away when the bus arrived to take us away from the city and to our destination. Our ...

Mmm, Barracuda!
The sound of the waves crashing outside is a good way to go to sleep and the morning view is an even better way to wake up. Almost as good as coffee. The layout of beach and sea and palm trees in the morning is unbelievable, or maybe it is and that's ...
I'm on the East, Earthquake on the West....

Voyager en bus le jour de la Saint Valentin
Levés à 7h, nous avons pris le bus de 8h40 pour Korat. À 10h30 nous étions dans le bus pour Trat, un voyage sensé durer 7h. Quelle expérience ! Pas romantique pour un sous ! Tout d'abord, il ne s’agit pas d’un bus direct. Il ...

Koh Chang Thai Cookery School
It was probably 11.30am before I realised that my lift wasn't coming. I looked at the ticket, 11.10am pickup but I realised somewhat belatedly that the address wasn't correct. A quick phone call from the receptionist later and the driver was on the way. ...
