We finaly made it to Thailand. THe THai airways flight was pretty much empty so we all had plenty of space to stretch out. Due to weather the 4 hour flight took 7 hours but we had realy swanky in seat videos with something like 50 movies to choose from. WE got to Bangkok around 1am and slept on some metal chairs before catching a 6am flight to K...

Der Flug von Bangkok war angenehm, ich hatte einen netten Gespraechspartner, Manfred, der mir viele Tips fuer Thailand geben konnte. Fuer ihn war alles "easy", was sich auch darin ausdrueckte, dass er es trotz verschiederer Stempel im Pass wegen Visaueberziehung wieder versuchte ins Land einzureisen. Ihm gelang es dann auch. Am Flughafen hab ich...

We spent 10 days on the island as it felt like we deserved a well earned rest after all that studying plus we hadnt seen much of the island other than the dive sites.

This morning we heard back from the dive shop and everything was a go so we had our delicious free breakfast at the poolside/beachside restaurant and then packed our bags. We also booked a shuttle to the ferry and bought our ferry tickets. During breakfast, "Tell Laura I love her" came on the radio and I thought of my life partner back home, who...

Came back to Ko Toa today for a week of Diving. I meet a bloke in Ko Phangnang who was doing the same thing so we booked up at a dive resort called Crystal and decided to be dive buddies! Crystal is an excellent place to do fun dives and dive courses. Rooms are good and cheap, cost of diving is cheaper than most and the staff are second to none....

Our hut is on the most amazing golden beach with crystal blue sea as far as the eye can see. The water is amazingly warm. In the afternoon went to see Lynn on the wes...

Ok, so just spent a week on Ko Pha Ngan...the Island (Ko), is the infamous host to the infamous full moon parties and the infamous buckets, which help aid and assist in getting the parties pumping. Had a good time, bopping around the Island, the party was great, met some amazing people and generally had a giraffe (Cockney for having a laugh). Av...

By mid afternon we had found a new home at SB Bungalows and started wandering along the beach keeping our eyes peeled for K&D. Right at the end of the beach we spotted what looked like a ...
