Ocean Garden View Resort Krabi

... to Krabi (our destination for the night) for 300 Bhatt, however armed with the right information, Kate and I just smiled and said ‘No, we’re going go across the road to the bus station and buy one for 210 Bhatt’. And that we did, in fact, we ended up getting our ticket for 169 Bhatt which was even cheaper than we had researched. It was a great feeling… Having access to information in advance made it so easy to negotiate our way through the ...

... slightly painful ,although not burnt (yay!). I then dined on the local cuisine, BBQ fish for free, unfortunately I was too drunk to notice how dodgy it looked and later on after more beers barfed it back up into the toilet. An interesting end to my first night in Ko Phi Phi, not a bad first night but I'm looking forward to better nights, at the moment it has to conteset with my time in the Perhentian islands, so we weill see how it measures up. Good night, *barf*!

... tickets and boarding the ever so frequent trains out of the airport. Melbourne really has to pull its socks up.<br><br>We then had to go through the unusual situation of immigration into England while still on French soil. Had not done it before, quite fun! They hassled dad as they always do (should try not to look like a dodgy bum!) and then we bought some food at exorbitant prices and off we went! The train was so smooth it seemed like a joke. We sped ...

... guide and a brazilian girl, Julie. We headed round to Phra Nang wall for a very sweaty muscle pumping introduction to sport climbing in Thailand. The humidity had me soaked by the second clip, i was swetting buckets! I was deffinetly out of practice from climbing. We relaxed that afternoon as the rain came in and had some drinks with Julie and an American guy Greg who we just met in the restaurant. In the evening we met up with Mitesh and Suprada the ...

... idiot, I would guess German, get lairy with a little thai bar man bloke and call him out into the ring. Unfortunately it all cooled down as I was hoping he would get a beating, I almost called him out myself but he was a 20 stone brick s*** house and even in his condition would have destroyed me.<br> After all this activity it was time for some proper relaxation time so off we trotted to Koh Phangan on the East coat of Thailand, naturally about a 14 hour round trip!<br><br><br>

... It is a magnificient 11-tier waterfall known for its large pools with crystal clear water. We stopped at the second tier, but other people were climbing further. The cycle back was a little easier because there were more downhill sections, although in Krabi Town we found ourselves running across the tarmac and over the grassy central reservation to get on to the right side of the road! Sccoting round ...

... They play EVERY night until 4am , yeah for us! I am a super light sleeper so that is bad news for me. All the wonderful villas on the hill at this resort have this same problem, so unless we want to move to somewhere else, we have to deal with this every night. Ahhh, cant have it all in paradise. The second night wasn't as bad, maybe it was the 3 Tylenol PMs i took ( I know that seems excessive) and my own I-pod playing some mellow music helped, but tonight there is a ...

... cover band sounds. The bulk of the raucous behavior merriment (when the Aussies are not celebrating Aussie day at the Aussie bar) is conducted by the Lady Boys themselves. The lavishly, scantily dressed Lady Boys are Thai transvestites, lost souls who seem to be perpetually recreating their Rio Carnivale fantasy dream. "What?!" says Texas Bob, nearly spilling his beer at this remark. "They're NOT women!" "But they seem so purty and they have a ...

I'm back!! Sorry for the hiatus everyone... Things got VERY busy and crazy. But here I am to fill ya'll in. So here goes... Continuing from my last entry, the guys (being Kris and Chris) Nadz and I jumped on another night bus bound for Krabi. After building up the horrors of past bus rides, this one proved us wrong and the entire journey was quite smooth sailing. Pretty much slept the whole way which is very unheard of around these here parts.We arrived in ...

... frolicked in the water, and took pictures upon pictures of the smug monitor. We boated over to the hidden lagoon, around a bend on the right side of the island. It was supposed to be beyond beautiful, but the tide was too low, and most of the water drained out, leaving behind a muddy, silted sand bottom in its place. More of a highlight was just rowing along the island, RIGHT next to the imposing limestone, beneath the water, along which grew some of the most outrageously ...
