So back in Bangkok for a fourth time, I decided to go to one of the famous roof-top bars. However, as I don’t have a lot of money and most of the bars are super expensive, I opted for the roof-top bar at CentralWorld…its a shopping mall! It was amazing! You could see for milesContinueContinue reading “Bangkok – Take four!”

Leaving Koh Tao
After a gorgeous few days here in Koh Tao, it is unfortunately time to leave. I have really enjoyed spending time here, despite a few days of illness and the long winded way of getting here, it’s been bliss to just relax after all of the action! I do think, however, that I have somewhatContinueContinue reading “Leaving Koh Tao”
Diving in Koh Tao
As I now have an open water diving certification, I thought it might be fun to dive here in Koh Tao. As I didnt have a camera under the water with me, I have found a great website where you can see images of common marine life found around Koh Tao. Master-Divers has a greatContinueContinue reading “Diving in Koh Tao”
Bangkok to Koh Tao
After a very long night of travelling, first by Train from Bangkok to Chumphon, then by bus from Chumphon to the coast and finally by boat to the island, I arrived in Koh Tao. The journey really tired me out and I wasn’t feeling too bright, so the first thing that I did upon arrivingContinueContinue reading “Bangkok to Koh Tao”
Bangkok – Take three
Another short Bangkok trip. In order to prepare myself for Wellington (New Zealand) and the work that I will be doing, I thought it would be a great idea to go shopping. There are three main shopping centers in Bangkok: Siam Paragon, Siam Centre and Central World, all of which are brilliant, huge and full of gorgeous shopsContinueContinue reading “Bangkok – Take three”
Thailand: Chiang Mai – Laos: Luang Prabang
After all the excitement of Songkran I for one was quite happy to get away for a little bit of rest and relaxation. But this didn’t happen straight away. Thai New Year is usually celebrated from the 12th-15th in Chiang Mai, but other parts of the country (and apparently the continent) celebrate at slightly different times. IContinueContinue reading “Thailand: Chiang Mai – Laos: Luang Prabang”
Thailand: Songkran (Thai New Year)
The Songkran festival is celebrated in Thailand as the traditional New Year’s celebration (their New Year doesn’t start at Songkran, just the traditional celebration of what used to be the new year). However this is a New Years celebration with a massive twist…everyone – and I really do mean EVERYONE – absolutely soaks each other all day! It doesn’t reallyContinueContinue reading “Thailand: Songkran (Thai New Year)”
Thailand: Bangkok – Take two
The day began with missing the breakfast at the hostel…so I had to go out and find my own. I ended up with a plain crepe with Raspberry Sauce and a dirty dollop of Vanilla Ice Cream. I spent the day wandering around the shopping malls, and there are LOADS! Everything is connected by walkwaysContinueContinue reading “Thailand: Bangkok – Take two”
Thailand: One night in Bangkok
OKAY…so it wasn’t really one night, but it sounded better than ‘…one day and two nights in Bangkok…’ Flying from Kathmandu to Bangkok the flight was very easy. I left the city with a lovely friendly taxi driver who took me to Kathmandu Airport and waved me off! The airport itself is very basic, there areContinueContinue reading “Thailand: One night in Bangkok”
