Blue Village Pakarang Resort Phangnga

... 6 people to throw overboard. I didn't like that at first, but then I lightened up and floated. Until my body got crushed between the raft and a rock, which I didn't like, but Matt and I had made up by the end. We went 5 KM in total, hitting rocks, splashing, paddling, running into other rafts, going down bumps, having fun. Liz had always wanted to go river rafting, and I remembered liking it before, so I'm glad that I did! They ...

... and what not, and eventually got to the highway at the far end (My treehouse was right at the entrance to the park). Here I came across a man, who told me that there was a temple just down the road a wee way, with monkeys! I will talk about the temple a little later, as I returned with a friend (and my camera) on my last day in Khao Sok..When I returned to the men at the top of the road, I sat with them for a while, talking. I ended up in a car with one of them and we ...

... with the taxi driver to which he agrees and laughs. Rob and I do a sneaky and have lunch by ourselves at the Coffee Shop. What a treat! I discover a Thai Set Menu - apparently they have new set menu daily. It looks good for THB400 and includes entree, 2 mains, rice and dessert. We order one to share and the food is delicious although a bit dumbed down, but yummy Thai food. The entree is a clear spicy soup with loads of coriander flavour ...

... dropped us off at Raileh East. Luckily it was high tide, as this side is the mangrove side and not quite so nice for swimming. We walked for about 5 mins along a path to the west sidewhere the beach was was much better, and where most of the resorts are. The scenery wa just spectacular - although to be honest, we are very spoiled with our beaches in NZ so I wouldn't say it was the best beach I had seen - but it was certainly pretty fantstic ...

Hello everyone, Sorry for the delay - we've been very busy the last few weeks. Anyhoo, so what next? After spending time on Koh Tao and getting our scuba licences we headed over to the beach resort of Khao Lak on the Andaman coast. This was quite a contrast from Koh Tao for many reasons. Firstly, it was much more of a family holiday destination than a backpacker haunt, very popular with German and Swedish people. Secondly there was a huge quantity of beach ...

... un esperienza ormai appurata in seguito a una mezza dozzina di massaggi in vari centro rinomati e meno in Bangkok e non. Ho scoperto che in vari paesi, come noi diciamo fumare come un turco, tanti dicono fumare come un italiano o come un francese Roba da matti. Si stupiscono quando rifiuto la sigaretta. Credevo fosse pericoloso fumare vicino alle bombole invece non lo e, nelle bombole c e aria compressa. E invece molto pericoloso fumare vicino alle bombole per assistere un ...

... the complementary tea and biscuits before our green sticker group was called rounded up and bundled onto what can only be described as a raft with an engine. This in turn allowed us to board the most over powered barge in existence - one of four located off shore. We don't know what the 400 meant on the engine but it made one hell of a noise. Once all the drinks and fruit was dished out, accompanied by the safety talk and briefing, we set out ...

... any near misses and a race with just one other minivan) journey, we reached the terminal to be confronted once again by one of Kaiser-sosei's minions, this time going under the guise of bumbling Thai lady 'May'. As disorganised as she was, she still managed to convince us that as it turned high season on November the 1st (a date tattooed on to every tour guide's palm as the date they can really start scamming people) we should really book before hand as she'd ...
