Hua Hin – Change of plans and house search!

We got back to Hua Hin with a feeling of cheery familiarity – we were not able to go straight to Jon’s house as we had planned, he still had another guest staying. Jon came and picked us up from the bus station and took us to a local guest house, dropped us off to [...]

Koh Phayam – Ranong Thailand – no internet or computer

We are currently in Koh Phayam, Ranong in Thailand near southern Burma. We have no laptop as it is in Bangkok under repair. Very limited internet i.e we need to take a motor bike taxi a few miles to get access to expensive satellite internet. We should be back in communication by the 16th December [...]

Ranong – The Journey

After we said goodbye to Becca the previous evening we went out for a late supper with Tehya – we were all feeling pretty despondent. After a quick meal we went back to the room to encourage Tehya into bed…. it always takes a while to settle her now (the evening before we travel). She [...]

Patong Beach – Phuket – Thailand

We had originally planned on getting to Phuket on the 14th of November. Oonagh’s flight to Bangkok was on the 16th and Becca’s was on the 18th. That would have given us two nights to sample Patongs notorious night life before the girls started to make their departures from Thailand to Australia.
As it was we [...]

Phi Phi town – Thailand!

Gavin and Becca got a long tail boat to the main part of Phi Phi town and did another quick search for accommodation. We had decided to split up – Oonagh and I stayed to complete packing and look after Tehya as the constant search for accommodation was starting to make Tehya unhappy and clingy. [...]

Long Beach – Koh Phi Phi

We walked to the bungalows that Gavin had found on Long Beach and were told they had the cheaper rooms available a few rows back from the beach. I can’t remember the name of the resort but it is towards the left hand end of the beach (not right at the end!!) if you have [...]

Koh Phi Phi Don – Thailand

How angry do you get with yourself when you repeat a mistake that you have made before and should have supposedly learnt your lesson from….? This is an important question and one I asked myself several times that day….! We arrived on Phi Phi at about 10.30 am after an easy journey that was tainted [...]

Visiting uncle Jon – Hua Hin Thailand

Tehya was really upset on the day we arrived – as we sat at the train station waiting for Jon to collect us all she kept saying was ‘where is he – when is Jon coming?’

2nd Class train to Thailand

When we first departed from our friend Jon’s house in Hua Hin Thailand heading to Sungai Kolok and the Malay boarder we travelled first class – which is not the first class you would get in the UK but it does at least mean that you have your own private space with a lockable door. [...]

Khao Takiap – South of Hua-Hin

We have had a few fun days exploring a little of Hua-Hin on Jon’s 125cc Automatic bike. We purchased a pink crash helmet for Tehya from Tesco for 695 Baht (about 11 pounds) it was more expensive than any other helmet there, but style (Tehya was pleased as it is not only very pink [...]

The Journey to Bangkok

Becca woke us up on Friday morning at 8.00am with a cheerful smile and a cup of tea, angel girl that she is. She had also printed off the final documents that we needed but had not had time to print. The last 24 hours were so stressful, with a combination of packing up the [...]

Made a decision about our first place to visit (possibly?)

We’ve dreamed of our relaxed stay at the Perhentian islands in Malaysia at a place called DeLagoon back in 2001. What we like are places that are chilled, quite and not completely over run by tourist, the same as most people I suppose? But instead we have decided to visit a part of Thailand [...]
