7 stycznia 2017, Tajlandia ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C
After another day yesterday exploring Langkawi by moped. While we were in the sea we saw a big pod of dolphins swim along the bay. By evening, really heavy rains arrived as we are getting the tail end of a storm. Even the frog wanted to find refuge from it! The continuing storm today made for an adventurous boat journey on rough seas. The boat was meant to dock on the south of the island next to a floating pontoon about 200m off the coast and then we were meant to get a long boat to the shore (the island is too small for a pier) but after waiting for ages they decided it was far too rough. The boat made it round to the north and a quick transfer, without a pontoon, to a longboat in heavy rain and swell was not quite what we had in mind when arriving at a Thai island. Where is the sun? Immigration was the best yet, however, a kiosk on the beach! It's so good to be back in Thailand as their food is amazing, fresh fruits, red curry... With the weather set to continue for for a couple of days we will have to spend our time working through the menus! They have a unique style of taxi's on the island too - motorbike and pillion with a difference. Czytaj więcej

Lynda Ralph Pity about the rain, but as you say, more food & drink the order of the day! Different mode of transport every day! Hope weather improves xxx

Lyndsay McDonnell So sorry to hear about the rain but we have the sun at the moment - blue sky's for the last few days. The boat journey sounds horrendous but you are now in Thailand so enjoy it all especially the food. Lots of love xxxx

It's raining again...
8 stycznia 2017, Tajlandia ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
In this very unseasonable weather we have got off very lightly with just over two days of rain as most of southern Thailand is under water, people have died and services cancelled. Did see an amazing sunset tonight as the sun returned. Czytaj więcej

Life's a Beach
10 stycznia 2017, Tajlandia ⋅ ⛅ 31 °C
Spent a couple of days lounging around on this amazing beach that is at the end of 'Walking Street', where our hostel is. The water is incredibly clear and warm with coral at the edge of it. Enjoyed a sundowner then pad thai and chicken satay on the beach. Czytaj więcej

Lyndsay McDonnell The sunset looks almost as good as the one we saw at Findhorn the other evening only trouble was we didn't have the sundowner or the pad Thai or satay. Enjoy it all. Love xxxx

Snorkelling Boat Trip
11 stycznia 2017, Tajlandia ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
Took a snorkelling boat trip to visit the islands around this National Park and snorkel off some of the reefs that surround them. The water was crystal clear with the coral and fish not disappointing. Saw massive clams, a huge metre long eel, all sorts of tropical fish, a type of sea horse and nearly got overrun by hermit crabs at the lunch stop! The evening sunset improved on the previous night, enjoying sat on the beach with many others in a very chilled out vibe. Czytaj więcej

Island Relaxation
17 stycznia 2017, Tajlandia ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
We have enjoyed some relaxation time on this beautiful island. We were surprised to find a completely deserted beach on such a small island, have enjoyed some picnics and sundowners on the beach too. We also went on another snorkelling trip visiting these islands, Koh Hin Sorn, Koh Lugoi, Koh Dong (lunch), Koh Pung, Koh Bulu (our favourite), Koh Hin Ngam (black stones), Jabang (an underwater 16 meter pinnacle). The current at the last stop was fierce this time, so were thankful for our flippers and a rope to hang onto! The warm water, clear seas and beautiful coral and fish have kept us here longer than we thought we would stay but the snorkelling was great and the island quiet with not much development at all.

Moving North to Chiang Mai
18 stycznia 2017, Tajlandia ⋅ 🌙 24 °C
Finally pulled ourselves away from the island and have been moving on again using a longboat, speedboat, minibus, plane and taxi. It was more appealing than a 28 hour bus ride! 800 miles in a straight line, wee bit more with the route we took! Czytaj więcej

Chiang Mai
19 stycznia 2017, Tajlandia ⋅ 🌙 27 °C
Wee wander round the old town of Chiang Mai. Chock full of Wats (Buddhist shrines) with lots of Monks, Buddhas, temples, paintings and peace & quiet. Despite being third largest city in Thailand, the large old quarter surround by moats has a low rise small city feel to it. It has changed massively in the 12 years since we were last here, more hostels of a decent standard, cafes and traveller amenities. Typically Thai, loads of small shops selling everything and plenty of street food sellers. Busy but relaxed vibe. Beautiful food in a tiny 'cafe' with Fawlty Towers levels of service by man/lady owner - mad but so funny (we'll be back). First tuk-tuk ride in Thailand, rapid and a bit mental. Czytaj więcej

Had some great street finger food for tea last night including steamed pork buns. Went to Wat Chedi Luang (Buddhist temple) early to beat the crowds and walked into some special police ceremony, followed by a school visiting. Good to know school children are the same world round, quite amusing to watch... On the bikes again! Rode around looking at the old city and wandering around a huge market. Highlight was the stall selling live animals (for food) including frogs in nets and buckets of cat fish and eel's. Spent a while looking for flip flops for James as his fell apart and it appears western feet are a lot longer and wider than Asian! Czytaj więcej

mg.bigadventure Great pics. Funny about the flip flops too! We've enjoyed our first few days in Costa Rica, relaxing by the pool, wandering along the beach & sporting wildlife. We're trying to learn a new pace of travelling - with a 4-year-old & a 70-year-old in tow... We're all still waking at 4am - but at least that's good for wildlife spotting!

Chiang Mai - Day 3
21 stycznia 2017, Tajlandia ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
More temples.... Took a trip out of town to Doi Suthep temple complex, on a hill nearly 1,000m vertically above the town. Used the local bus which is essentially a taxi in that it takes you where you want to go, however it doesn't leave until 8 people have the same idea (cue a wait of over an hour to leave, or 12 people packed in if busy!). 306 steps led up to the temple, very busy with local people as it is the weekend and Chinese tourists wielding selfie sticks everywhere. Beautiful golden stupa plus lots of Buddha statues, prayer alcoves and amazing views over the city. Despite the crowds, it was easy to find a quiet spot to take it all in. There is a downhill mountain bike track from the top, we saw a couple of jeeps with locals and their dh bikes being shuttled to the top - so jealous! Had a wander round a couple of additional temples at the North gate of the old city. Despite the quantity of temples, each one is different in its own way. Also found a tiny streetside jazz club with people standing in the road to listen as it was packed full. Czytaj więcej

Lyndsay McDonnell It must have been hard for you to take a taxi instead of bikes but I suppose it would have been a hard climb up but for you two fanatics fantastic coming down. (Like fort bill??) Views must have been amazing. Keep happy. Love xxxx

Chiang Mai - Day 4
22 stycznia 2017, Tajlandia ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
Mostly an admin day which is a reality when travelling for so long - booking flights for months away, arranging buses and getting info on how to get to/stay in and what to do in new locations. It's not all winging it!! Well not always anyway. Visited a couple of new temples close to the hostel, again so different to other places we've visited. Had lunch at 'Fawlty Towers' again, best Thai food anywhere despite the surly owner/chef/waitress/man/woman. Visited the night market which covering 3 square km is the largest in Asia. 5 hours and we'd only seen half of what was going on. A mix of locals and tourists after bargains, food, clothing and crafts. Purchased a few nic-nacs which are light and flat enough to fit into a rucksack. Absolutely packed but great fun and atmosphere.
Following the death of the King 3 months ago, many buildings have a poster, photo or black/white silk hangings around the perimeter as a mark of respect. Many people wear a ribbon, armband or black clothing in remembrance for the next year. He was an incredibly respected person in Thailand. Czytaj więcej
