... for going by train. The bus ride was long. How long? Light years. Well it seemed like it. The bus left at 10 and with a change of bus, I arrive at Surat Thani at 8.30pm. As soon as I got off the bus a lady asked me where I was going, so I gave her the name of the guesthouse that had been recommended to me. She said ok follow me, I asked if she was a taxi driver and she ...

Ko Phi Phi was amazing in contrast to the places I've been in the last few weeks, I'm used to having a handfull of other western tourists around me, having to cover up at all times and eating street food. Not here. Phi Phi was decimated by the tsunami in 2004 and I was interested in how it had managed to rebuild itself. Don't worry, it is well and truly recovered, thriving, ridiculously expensive, busy and full of tourists. It was actually quite nice to ...

... sell me the camera and save me the early waking on Christmas day. So, no camera, no Christmas gift:( The good thing was we had still 10 days of holidays and travel ahead of us, so I got back to pack and leave for the airport. We wanted to be well before the flight to Phuket, as we had to get tax refunds. We went about 2 hours before departure, but the systems weren't working and they had to check us manually which took about ...

... the computer, im backing my chair up...anyway, the first nite we arrived here there were three beach parties we decided to check out...wouldve been a great idea if i had chosen to familiarize myself with the island first...after hitting a really chill bar called the hippie bar, a more dance scene called cancun bar, and finishing up the night at the tiger bar, everyone in the initail crew split ways...i found myself on the other beach ...

... r ) genom station** vilka är i det närmaste öde och tomma på människor. Vi gnag** vår kyckling, borstar tänd**na och lägg** oss att sova. I morgon, säg** min hustru, vaknar vi tidigt och sätt** oss vid fönstret. Och bara titta på allting som vi far förbi. Majsfält och b**g. Byar och små städ**. Gummiträd och exotiska djur. Ja, allt... 02:45 tåget har stannat. Vi hör hur folk rör sig och lämnar tåget. Vi är yrvakna och undrar naturligtvis vad som står på. Det komm** ingen ...

... he can only spend so much time in each painful spot... He doesn't speak much English but points out all my body problems as identified by parts of my feet that hurt. And then, my feet get a little time off and it's time to work on my neck and shoulders. He goes right to the area of tension and reams on it....I think he does a great job but I can barely handle the intensity. I walk out of there a year older and a new woman...well I don't know about new...

... a better life for them than on a dinner plate! They seemed to be well loved and well cared for and in fact one of the monkeys had a full-on schwing and was constantly wanting kisses and cuddles when he saw his trainer. I tried to get a photo but the bike handlebars were in the way (as they always are). Then back to the snack area for the Rubber Tapping demonstration which took a whole of 5 minutes. Our guide just used a tree right next to where we were ...

... drinker but a glass of Singha filled with ice cubes (the custom)....yummy! We are now cruising across the Indian Ocean. We were supposed to stop at Sri Lanka but because of civil unrest there, we are bypassing the island & continuing around it to Cochin, India where we will arrive Mar. 21st.

... Taiwan card fell on the floor and the man picked it up. He was like 'hey, you have a Taiwan SIM card'? I said that I lived and worked in Taiwan. Turns out they were Taiwanese and lived in Taipei (world just shrank another 5%). His English was pretty decent and so we had a nice conversation driving into Phuket town while his wife was passed out in the back seat next to me. They got dropped off first and then the taxi driver took me to my hostel: Phuket Backpacker ...
