Hello again. I’m pleased to say I’ve arrived safely in Sydney, Australia. The flight here was great, I was sat in the departure lounge before-hand chatting to a few of the flight crew, they asked me where I was sitting and told me they’d look after me, I was kind of hoping they’d upgrade me […]
Almost ready for my flight to Sydney tomorrow morning, I’ve got to be up about 6.30am so that kind of limits what I can do tonight; today I’ve just been wandering about the city mostly. Woke up and got myself down to my hostel’s kitchen and cooked myself a fry-up made myself some cereal. Left to […]
At last - another country appears in the Where am I? section on the right. You’ve looked over and guessed it, I’m in Singapore. My replacement cash cards (and a spare phone) arrived to me in Phuket on Friday, so I hurried down the internet cafe and booked a cheap flight to Singapore for the […]
As I come to the end of my time in Thailand, I thought I’d look back on what I’ve been up to. A review of sorts.
I started off in Bangkok, my first few days were spent orientating myself, and then disorientating myself at nights on the ol Changs! I went on a tuk-tuk tour of […]
Tuesday 14th was the infamous full moon party, where thousands of people gather on a kilometre stretch of sand on Haad Rin beach, Ko Phagnan, to celebrate the full moon (or just get steaming really.) I estimate there was about 15,000 people there, and I was glad it lived up to the hype.
We went out […]
I decided to create a page where I’ll upload some of the videos I take with my digital camera. I’ll probably add to it as I go; luckily almost every internet cafe PC has a copy of Windows Movie Maker where you can import your files and get them down from 20-30mb to 1-3mb. If […]
I’ve been dreading having to use that headline since I came travelling, but I’m afraid to say there’s not many better words to sum up being pick-pocketed whilst out on the lash. We got to Ko Phagnan on Friday early afternoon, and immediately found it a nightmare finding somewhere to stay. We knew it wouldn’t […]
At about 5.30pm on Wednesday, we packed up our beach things and took a slow stroll along the white sand towards our guesthouse. The sun was setting behind the coconut trees and the air was breezy and refreshing. Just up ahead, a dead body was being dragged out of the sea. Wasn’t expecting that were […]
The speedboat left Nai Yang around 7.15am on Saturday and anchored around the far side of Island 4 just over two hours later. A massive eagle seemed to be following our boat as we navigated between the islands. We geared up and took a long stride off the side into the sea, and we each […]
The final day of our Open Water Diver course finished today. Yesterday was our first sea dive, we went on a longtail to some reef about 1km off the Nai Yang shore and went down about 7 metres. We swam around for a bit for the first dive just to get the hang of it, […]
