We had brekkie and packed our stuff before stashing our bulging rucksacks in Wendy's store cupboard after checking out of our room. We weren't due to fly until 1am so we had a full day left, we headed out into Siam Square and into the MBK center, a huge shopping centre ri... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=475244&go=gavin79 Mon, 14 Apr 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=475235&go=gavin79 Next day we ate a great breakfast at Wendy's and planned to hit the Chatuchak (weekend) market and pick up some bargins. I bought Nancy Chandlers map a must for navigating around bangkok and the many markets. We left and headed for the Sky Train station at the bottom of the Soi we were staying on. Once there a little confused we met an austrailan couple who gave us helpful hints on how to use the ... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=475235&go=gavin79 Sun, 13 Apr 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=475228&go=gavin79 Thursday night we ate at one of the great beach front retaurants and watched couples light floating lanterns and send them up into the night sky. Helen was feeling a little off colour after dinner and a few cocktails so we called it a night. We awoke Friday for what would be our last day in Tao and the Thai islands but now it was Helens turn to be ill. She spent most of the day in bed not well at ... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=475228&go=gavin79 Fri, 11 Apr 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=474248&go=gavin79 Thursday was our snorkelling trip so at 8am and wisked off to the AC tours resort a little way along the Sairee beach where along with about 17 others we were given flippers and a snorkelling kit. The weather was great with hardly any clouds in the sky meant the visibility while snorkelling would be excellent. We took a long tail boat out to a bigger boat anchored in the bay. We were greeted by Pa... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=474248&go=gavin79 Thu, 10 Apr 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=473901&go=gavin79 We were up bright and early tuesday morning without I think a wink of sleep from the night before due to nesting birds in the roof of our bungalow. Once checked into the Pranee guesthouse we were alot happier and it wasn't long before we were sunning ourselves on Sairee Beach under a very photogenic horizontal palm tree. Me and Helen were considering doing a padi diving course during the 5 days we... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=473901&go=gavin79 Tue, 8 Apr 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=472256&go=gavin79 Well after waking up Sunday morning following the beach party the night before, with no memory of the nights events past the 2nd bucket we headed for breakfast. We decided to spend the day on the sunset beach of Haad Rin Nai the side of the peninsula we were staying on, literally 10 paces from our little villa and we were on the beach. We headed along until we came to a spa resort where we ordered... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=472256&go=gavin79 Sun, 6 Apr 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=472041&go=gavin79 We decided that Wednesday would be our last night in Krabi and that we'd head to the Eastern side of Thailand the next day. So we were up and checked out of the P guesthouse by 11ish and said our goodbyes to the guesthouse owners who had shown us great hospitality and helped nurse me through my food poisoning episode with some nice food. We set off with our enormous rucksacks, which are growing he... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=472041&go=gavin79 Thu, 3 Apr 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=471057&go=gavin79 We arrived in Krabi just as the sun was rising, we headed to a guesthouse Helen had picked out from a wall display in a tour agency's shop close to the bus station. I was dying by this point crouching with my head bewtween my knees willing the room to stop spinning and sweating profusely, still not entirely sure what was wrong with me. At the guest house we crashed and it wasn't long before the te... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=471057&go=gavin79 Sat, 29 Mar 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=467150&go=gavin79 After a terrible nights sleep, Gavin especially waking up a little too worse for wear - we packed up our bags and left Mom's Guesthouse and headed back onto the Khoa San Road. Being, just bearly, still within the morning hours everyone was still waking up and nursing those hangovers from the night before - even it seems all the bar staff. We had to leave the first bar we chose to have breakfast as... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=467150&go=gavin79 Thu, 27 Mar 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=466832&go=gavin79 We were up for 07:30 to catch our cab to the border, we were very careful to ensure we'd be taken all the way to Poipet (border crossing town) as we'd heard taxi drivers can try and dump you at a town called Sisophon, an hour south of Poipet. The cab ride started ok until we reached the city limits of Siem Reap and the road turned from tarmac to dirt track with monsterous potholes! The taxi driver... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=466832&go=gavin79 Wed, 26 Mar 2008 12:00:00 GMT
