We realised the other day that we haven’t posted a new blog in a while. The reason for that is that we haven’t really done any travelling since we got back to Sydney…. then again, everything that we’ve been through since then could be worth including in a blog. We …
A few months ago when we were planning our trip we told ourselves that we wanted to finish up somewhere where we could relax and do nothing for a few days. Our decision fell on the island of Koh Tao. To get there from Khao Lak we first had to …
Visiting Khao Lak was not part of the original plan but after a few pleas and a guilt trip we decided to make a quick visit and visit our friends there… and we’re glad that we did! Getting there was no problem…. we just caught a flight from Bangkok to …
