The Nicest Place In The World (so far...)

Nicest place in the world (so far) award goes to... Ko Bulone!


After Ko Lanta, we headed off to the smaller and more 'remote' island of Ko Bulone. It took us about 2 hours or so on a speedboat to get there and it was totally worth it.

Daytrip to Ko Rok


Whilst we've been in Ko Lanta we went on a daytrip to Ko Rok which is a very island that no one lives on. We got a proper speed boat this time, and I leant over the side and felt like James Bond. Nic said he did not feel like James Bond.

Busy Having Fun in Ko Lanta


It is Christmas day in Ko Lanta! Happy Christmas.

There are some trees with tinsel on and some bars are doing 'parties'. A party here seems to be just like any other day, except there are more balloons on a party day.

Our First Proper Adventure!

We were abandoned on this road
We've been lost and abandoned in Thailand!

We Arrive at Ko Lanta

Tomato soup
Sadly we have to leave Railay and we get on a 'speed boat' to Ko Lanta. It is not a particularly fast speed boat, but it was very fun to sit out on the deck and dangle my feet over the side as we went along.

Saying Goodbye to Railay


Tomorrow we leave Railay for Ko Lanta. It was ridiculously easy to book the travel. We thought it would be a nightmare and we'd have to arrange each different boat separately, but it turns out to be a piece of piss.

We Took Our Pineapple To Our Private Beach

Barry the pineapple
We bought a pineapple a couple of days ago and we were going to juice it, but this never happened.

Long Tail to Ko Hong


I was planning to blog everything that we did while we're on our travels so we'd remember it all, but it has become obvious that that is not going to happen. I'll probably only be able to record about 10% of the awesome things we're going to do!!

Thai Massage


I admit that I was quite suspicious about Thai massage at first. I didn't really want to get one, partly because I'm not too keen about people I don't know touching me, partly because I am ticklish and partly because I was a bit worried that I would be offered sex at the end.

But it was all ok!

We Made It!!!

Yes, we made it all the way to Krabi, near the south of Thailand. It took bloody ages. There was a taxi, a plane, then another plane, then a taxi then a boat.

This is where we are right now!!
It was quite fun generally. The plane was nice, it was practically empty and there was Despicable Me 2. It did take a long time though and they kept turning the lights off to pretend that it was night time even though it clearly wasn't night time.

We've Actually Booked Our Tickets!!!


Yes, we have! It's actually happened and last night in a fit of madness, we bought our plane tickets to Krabi and booked a rather nice hotel for our first week.

Practise blogging while i'm travelling...

We are going to take one laptop with us while we're travelling and I have a feeling that Nic is going to be using that one.
