... this is the boat's last voyage until October. Because of this the crew is all fired up-drunk off their asses every night, hooting, and hollering-but we don't mind. It seems that Johnny Walker Red and Coke is the beverage of choice of most Thais. On the last dive Marie dives with a mini shirt on just for fun! The last dive is Anita's Reef-so beautiful. It is a gorgeous day and the sea is calm-we will have a safe journey back to the mainland! We ...

... 9.30am - Back on the train! The time now changes by adding an hour! 3.30pm - Get off the train and catch the ferry at Butterworth, 10 minute crossing to Georgetown 4.00pm - After trying to find enough taxis, we finally get to our hotel at 4pm! That is in my book the longest journey I have ever done! When I get home furthest I am going to travel is Ilminster and Charlton Mackrell!! Well, for a week or two anyway!! The ...

... seat, with his buddy in his hip pocket...they proceeded to ask me where i was from in a very condescending manner, and make insults directed at me for the remainder of the ten minutes they lingered...i wont go into any detail, but we had words, the girls had words, and they basically bailed...saw the two this morning at the hostel and they wouldnt make eye contact, prob didnt even remember..anyway, no worries about that situation, but ...

... to the Lobby for our transport to Khao Lak Elephant Camp. Mum and Dad decided to stay in the confines of the gorgeous resort and make use of the 50% discount at the Merlin Spa. We booked the "3 in 1" tour which comprised a 1 hour elephant trek, a monkey show and a rubber tapping display. The price also included return transfers, a guide, drinks and fresh fruit. What a bargain! We arrived at the Elephant Camp after a pleasant 20 minute drive (I don't know ...

... about 40 minutes). I thanked him a bunch when we were finally exiting the rainforest and he simple said "it's no problem, i don't mind". We all checked for leeches and luckily no one had any so we got back on the longtail boat and went back to our huts. We all jumped in the lake even though it was still pouring down rain to wash all the grime off us. After that, I was sitting on the deck of my hut when the longtail boat driver brought water around to all ...

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 ...

... vests throughout the trip because we are smart (are you reading this our respective mothers?). After returning to the hotel (did we mention what a find it was?) we head next door for 30 Baht or $1.00 Changs on the beach and watch another stunning sunset. A repeat trip to Eule Restaurant guarantees a great meal and the memory of the Calvados Prawns is so sensual it's almost sexy. And so another perfect day ends (as far as you're concerned).

... any capacity. Traveling for this long is such a wonderful experience and truly is something I wouldn't trade for anything, but at this point it's getting to feel a bit self-indulgent. Plus, all of my clothes are permanently dirty and I smell gross. So I'm excited to go home, see my family and friends, and start reorganizing my life...as well as get clean and wear something that I haven't worn nearly everyday for the past five months. I've had so many ...

While I initially visited Thailand in 2005, I mostly concentrated on the north and did some great motorcycling around Chiang Mai. <br><br>Since it was the end of my long Asian odyssey, I decided to cap the trip with a few days of beach time on the southern islands before returning home.
