Full Moon Party

Having survived the dangers of Ko Tao, it was finally time to get some proper beach time so we headed to Ko Pha Ngan on the morning boat. Upon arrival we were harassed by the usual taxi touts before heading to Haad Rin beach in the back of a pickup. Amazingly we were greeted by four Irish lads...

From Goa beach to Thai Island beach

Alreeeet?! Just put a load more pics on here with captions which hopefully tell the story of the past week-or-so fairly well. Not sure they came on as a logical order though! Feels like I'm going back ages but it's only been just over a week since we were there..! Palolem beach, Goa was...

Diving, bikes and two close calls!

We arrived at the Thai island of Koh Tau and caught a pick-up truck straight to the Crystal Dive Resort. First impressions were good: A nice resort right on the beach close to all the nightlife. At this point we need to make one thing clear: Richie Hallam (Diamond's mate) is a legend! He used...

Steamy Bangkok

Fake DVDs, football shirts, jeans, sunglasses.......and even fake degrees and driving licences......there is no end to the fake stuff you can buy in Bangkok. If you do come here, spend as little time as possible in Bangkok. As we found out later, Chiang Mai has everything Bangkok has and is...

Week 1 (and it's already mental!)

Arrived at the hostel to find Karl had booked us into the smallest room available in ladyboy central. We decided to start the night at a few bars near our hotel and in the first bar we went into Karl decided to swipe the table smashing all 3 full pint glasses on the floor and ensuring we had the...

Underwater world

Hopped over from Ko Phangan on the ferry to the island of Ko Tao, and went to a quiet corner of the island that had been recomended. The ride over was crazy in the back of a truck over terrain more suited for a tank! It was worth the ride though as we landed a beachfront bungalow, this time on...

THE Beach!

Arrived in Ko Phangan after missing the ferry after the bus we were travelling on started to catch fire on the motor way ! So we arrived later than planned and ended up staying in a nice resort for the night, but as the staff were pretty rude and useless when we complained about the...
