Tuesday 1 June 2010

What an amazing 3 weeks got so much too tell don't know where to start! Went to Koh Samui from Koh Phangan it was a bit too touristy for my liking just relaxed on the beach there and went out to a drag show one night which was good couldn't tell some of them were men!

Then from there went to Krabi town which was a 6 hour journey from Koh Samui it wasnt very touristy there and was really quiet and we stayed in really shitty accommodation then got the boat to Koh Phi Phi the next day which is and Island on the western side of Thailand. Phi Phi is on of my favorite islands in Thailand really good night life went to a bar called the reggae bar where they had a boxing ring in the middle and people just jump in to fight to win a free bucket. Then we would go to the beach party where they have skipping ropes of fire and fire dancers.

On Phi Phi me and Kerry went on a trip where we did snorkeling and then cliff jumping which was very scary and then went to Maya beach where they filmed the film The Beach! We stayed on Maya beach overnight with a group of 20 people and swam in the sea at night and when u move the fish glow so it was like a disco in the sea lol. Then we just slept on the beach with nothing but a sleeping bag only had about 2 hours sleep before the sun rose then got a boat back to Koh Phi Phi.

Then we went to Koh Sok national park when we got there we trekked 3 KM through the jungle and there were wild monkeys jumping through the trees above us the waterfall didn't have much water as there hadn't been much rain. Then the next day we did a lake tour was on a long boat for 1 and half hours and went to a floating village for lunch and swam in the lake then we trekked through the jungle for 2 hours to a cave which took an hour to go through and at some point had to pull self through on rocks because the water was so deep! Then when we got out found out it was the last time they were doing the tour this year because the rainy season was starting and 8 people died in there 2 years ago if it starts rain it only takes the cave 20 minutes to flood! Then trekked back and got the boat back!

Then we went and stayed in Phuket town for the night because had to fly to Chiang Mai the next day. This is really sad but they had MCdonalds in Phuket and i was so excited to have a burger and chips haha!

The next day flew to Chiang Mai which took about 2 hours and when we arrived went to stay at a place called Julies guest house. The next day we went on a trek where we started by riding an elephant it was better than Koh Phangan however still didn't enjoy it as much! Then we trekked 3 hours all up hill through the jungle which was sooooo hard to do! Then we stayed overnight with the Lahu hill tribe and all had dinner by the fire and then the Lahu children sung us a song. Then the next day we trekked back and did white water rafting and then bamboo rafting it was good but the water was too shallow!

Thats the end of Thailand next is Laos and ive been here for a couple weeks i think but i will update that in a few days on the next blog! Miss everyone!! xx

The countries I would like to see in South East Asia are Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam.Then on 30th June I fly to Hong Kong to travel China for a month before flying to Australia on 6th August 2010.
