Posted on December 13, 2007

Major apologies for not updating the blog over the recent weeks. Everything has been really hectic moving from place to place only staying a couple of days. Never time to settle down. In Sydney now with super fast wireless. The posts will be coming thick and fast pretty much covering all the goings on around the Islands, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore.

Getting to Koh Phangan worked out pretty well. We flew from HCMC into Bangkok and got the night train down to Surat Thani in the same day to save on time. Generally it's been easy travelling around on the ...

After a week long partying on Koh Phangan, Koh Tao was great island to relax a little. From advice from people we met along the way, Ban's Diving was the chosen resort we stayed in for the week.

Diving was amazing, a little daunting at times but really something I'll continue to do as much ...

Even the change of weather after we were washed out in Vietnam was a welcome.

What can you say about this place? Its hard to describe but i'll give it a go. For those who are'nt familiar, Koh Phi Phi is broken up into two Islands. One is Phi Phi , which is the place where you can stay, eat, drink, dance the night away on. The other is Phi Phi Lay, where you cant do any of that, but what you can do is just enjoy the most amazing scenery you will ever see - guaranteed. It's the place where the film 'The Beach' was filmed, and if you think it looks good in ...
