Phuket to Koh Samui, Koh Phangan and Koh Tao
I arrived in Phuket and met Noodles at the airport - he quickly advised me that Phuket was not a place for us and that he'd booked us on the afternoon flight to the island: Koh Samui. We sat in the humid air contemplating how amazing the next 6 ...

Päivä 185.
Viimeinen luksusyö ja bufeeaamiainen on nyt nautittu ja paluu arkeen alkaa. Kellon lyödessä 12 retkikunta sai vihdoin ja viimein perseensä ulos huoneesta ja lähti tiedustelemaan, että milläs hitolla täältä pääsis kivasti päätielle. Repsan ...

Chumpon - left me with a big smile
Chumpon is only one day transit stop, I don't get to spent a night in here. It’s one of two places that you can take a boat to from Koh Tao. Very convenient for me though, as I need to catch a night train going south. Normally I wouldn’t ...
Quick stop in Chumphon
Stopped over in Chumphon for a few hours. Train arrived at 4:30am, was on the boat to the island at 7:30. Didn't see ...
Die nördliche Golfregion

What day is it?
... . Can't believe how easy it is to lose track of time here. At any rate...got the bus at 8:30 this morning to Chumphon, which was quite interesting as I was the only westerner on the bus. Good thing I was able to sleep most of the ...
Broken down on the Thai highway
So I go and book a bus to Ko Phi Phi. Sounds like a nice start to my trip. But......... about 3 hours into the trip our overnight bus breaks down and we are left stranded in the middle of nowhere on the highway! The Thai guys are tryin to fix the ...
Fly Catcher
... we found our bus and got settled in, we were taking the last bus of the day leaving at 22.00 so we get to our destination of Chumphon a few hours before the ferry left for Koh Tao. "LJ really wants to put in here that it was sitting next to a fly catcher" ...

Koh Samui Thai International Hospital

Back to the mainland

Transit
I'd booked a ferry to Bangkok and for some bizarre reason had decided that I'd be on a boat the whole way. Much more logically of course the ferry went to Chumpron where everybody had to get off and transfer on to a bus for the seven hour drive u to ...
Mixing with the Locals
... - but we didnt, we ploughed our way through bouncing around more than a beachball at a Nickelback Concert. Our arrival into Chumphon - a port town on the main land seemed very unorganised compared to the usual bartering we were used to. Instead no one ...
Day 4, 116km (8.5 hours in saddle)(394km)

Chumphon
At this point we were a anxious to get to the islands. Poor James drove almost 1000kms to Chumphon the whole day which was the pier where we would catch the ferry to Koh Tao. We got there really late so we found a place to stay for the night. 10 hours of ...

My first day of school
... peering over trying to work out who I was. After being introduced to the teachers I learned how to greet people in Thailand, a simple prey like motion that seemed a lot more respectful than our handshake, the higher you hold your hands the more respect ...
Stormy Weather
