Hotel Review: Cathay Guesthouse, Hat Yai

December 19, 2011

When we arrived in Hat Yai it was raining, so we tried to find somewhere to stay as quickly as possible and soon came across the Cathay Guesthouse, upon the recommendation of both Lonely Planet and a nearby tour company. We walked in and it seemed nice enough and had a large communal lobby area … More Hotel Review: Cathay Guesthouse, Hat Yai

Thai Island Adventuring

December 18, 2011

So where was I? Right, we were at the airport in Bangkok, settling in for the night as we waited for our early flight to Koh Samui. To be honest it wasn’t really that bad of a wait…by the time we’d had some food and found somewhere to sleep, it was already about 3am. Two … More Thai Island Adventuring

Photo Of The Week: Dolphins on Koh Phi Phi

December 18, 2011

This was honestly one of the best days on this trip so far. We took a tour boat around some famous places off the coast of Koh Phi Phi, including Monkey Island, Phi Ley Lagoon and the incredible Maya Bay (the location of the film ‘The Beach’). But the most spectacular part of the day … More Photo Of The Week: Dolphins on Koh Phi Phi

Hotel Review: P.K. Mansion, Ao Nang

December 16, 2011

We got a taxi from Krabi ferry port to Ao Nang, where the hotel we thought we were staying at (Top View) was, but when we arrived we were told that we were actually booked into the hotel next door – P.K. Mansion. Both hotels are managed by the same people and we aren’t quite … More Hotel Review: P.K. Mansion, Ao Nang

Top 5 Friday: Places I’ve Stayed in SE Asia So Far

December 16, 2011

We’ve been traveling for nearly 6 weeks now and have slept in 17 different beds so far. Some have been lovely, some not so much (as you can see in my reviews of each place), but all have had their own little quirks. These are my top 5 favorites: 1. Andaman Beach Resort, Koh Phi … More Top 5 Friday: Places I’ve Stayed in SE Asia So Far

Hotel Review: Andaman Beach Resort, Koh Phi Phi

December 15, 2011

When you step off the ferry at Koh Phi Phi’s pier, you are inundated with cries of ‘hotel? hotel?’. But the best advice I can give is to ignore them all and head straight to the main information desks, where they have pictures and prices for pretty much all the hotels and guesthouses on the … More Hotel Review: Andaman Beach Resort, Koh Phi Phi

Top 10 Things To Do On The Thai Islands

December 14, 2011

We spent about a week island hopping, visiting Koh Samui and Koh Phi Phi. This week was probably one of my favorites on the whole trip…just lounging around in the sun, swimming in the sea, and just generally having an awesome time. Here’s my top ten things to do on the islands (that I visited)… … More Top 10 Things To Do On The Thai Islands

Hotel Review: Z Hotel, Koh Samui

December 13, 2011

There’s not really anything you can fault the Z Hotel on to be honest. It only opened in September so of course there are a few little kinks, which is as to be expected, but on the whole our stay here was really pleasant. We were in a triple room, with one double bed and … More Hotel Review: Z Hotel, Koh Samui
