Well I've missed a week or so blogging so il fill you all in on the adventures weve had.
We arrived in Kho Lak for 6 days the hotel was great more of a resort though unlike Chiang mai.
We sunbathed for our first two days and had dinner around the hotel because we couldn't be bothered to do much else. And we thought that it was tiny with like 4 restaurants outside the hotel, mother was too impressed like you could imagine.
Me, mum and flo went on a elephant trek and bamboo raft the next day which was great fun but I wasn't to keen on the elephant thing, they were treated great like yes I know everyone had told me but I had seen amazing nature ones in Chiang mai so I thought it would be like that but it wasn't. :( sounds strange and very stupid, surprise! But on the elephant oh my friggin god you are high up!!!!! Alot higher than you would think. The men we had in charge of the elephants where ass holes and mine and flos one kept hitting the elephant so I had a word with him, he soon stopped :) I got a great picture sat on the elephants head :) they are such beautiful creatures I wanted to take one home but mum wasn't to sure saying it wouldn't fit I'm my bag and Elvis was enough to deal with.
The bamboo rafting was fun. Mum got soaked we don't really no why but of course it was her raft that was broken not her just being kack handed!
We later on found out that kho lak wasn't just where we we're staying but a huge town about 10 minutes away lol so we went there for dinner that night, wanted to say great dinner but I wouldn't no because it didn't stay down for long. We all fell disgustingly ill that night and felt like crap for the next 2 days.
We missed our dicing and snorkelling trip because we couldn't get out of bed.
kho lak was fun but I don't think I'd go back.
We arrived in Ao Nang which is Krabi. Our hotel is amazing! Truly beautiful and the staff our so kind. I think I'm going to bring one of them home with me :) or a Thai child I really want a Thai baby they are so gorgeous :)
We sunbathed and got our bearings the first day. The next day was full on pact with things as we went to Phi Phi island and lots of others. It was so much fun :) snorkelling, posing on the beach that Leo himself has stood on :)
The speed boat was full and then we picked up 7 others. A fantastic gay group and 2 girls which were extremely drunk/ hungover from the night before which we soon after realised where from Brighton. We had the best day with them, SO much fun. Amazing pictures of the beaches and island. phi Phi is like something you never seen before!
We went to a beach the next day which nothing on expect a few hotels. It was SO hot like indescribable. Mum, flo and nan moaned for about 2 hours about how hot they were, there was no shade, mum and flo got stung my jelly fish APPARENTLY and then decided to leave and come back to the hotel. I stayed and got an amazing tan :) and being on my own for 2 hours was great, first time in 3 weeks :) love my family but wow!
2 days left one round the pool which is today and tomorrow me and flo are going canoeing around the island for half a day :) dead excited.
We leave early Friday morning flying back to Bangkok for the afternoon and following day. We are SHOPPING! SHOPPING! SHOPPING! I can't wait :) seen some bargains since I've been out here of course and now it's time to get them.
Our flight is early Sunday morning like 1 am so we have to check in at like 11pm which is great because my visa runs out Sunday so I need to get out the country asap.
We arrive home Sunday mid day English time. My adventure stops there which is great upsetting and also so exciting because I'm so excited to see everyone!
See you all soon. Hope england isn't snowing anymore! Because I am not covering up this banging tan I have from being in the sun all these months.

Chiang Mai with the Barnards
We arrived after a 14hr train journey into Chiang mai station and was driving to a beautiful hotel called the Rimping Hotel.
We had a family room, much to my pleasure :) sharing a bed with my sister is always what I want when I haven't seen her for 10 months.
We arrived early so we just sun bathed by the pool and got our tans going again. The sun was boiling and mother burnt her forehead...very fun I must say.
We walked around the night Market in the evening looking what they had to offer and just like everywhere in Thailand it was full of crap.
On our 2nd day we went a huge temple on the top of the mountain 15km from the city called Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep. It had lots of stairs so we got a lift up and walked the stairs down, yes I know no one is surprised.
We also went to Chiang Mai Zoo that day and saw Panda's which was actually amazingggggggg. I realised that I had never seen one before and there is only like 35 left in the world :( also lots of other animals, lots of pictures to upload.
Friday we walked around the old city where I had stayed previous when I went to Chiang Mai on the tour. I showed them everything I saw and took them to a really nice juice bar, obviously I didn't drink anything. We booked mum and flo's tattoos for that evening and went back that night to get them done and went back to a lovely restaurant by our hotel called Riverside, with live music and amazing tomato soup...yes I eat soup now :)
Saturday came round quick and I realised that my visa ran out on the Sunday so we had to do a 10hr trip up to Chiang Rai to see long neck tribes, the White temple and went to the Burma border to get another stamp for my following 2 weeks. Arriving back about 9pm that evening we were knackered and just had dinner in the hotel.
Our last day was spent around the pool again, I think I got sun stroke because I was all faint and dizzy that evening. We went to the Sunday Market which was nice and I got a Marc Jacobs make up bag :) of course the original :)
11am check out flying to Phuket and taxing to Khao Lak, we arrived around 5pm to another lovely hotel bit this time separate rooms. I'm still sharing with the smelly one but life goes on. Let's see what these 6 days brings us.

No longer a backpacker
It's official moved from dorms to bed and breakfast to now in 5* hotels :) 3 weeks of bliss :) think it's about after living with no less than 6 people at a time :)
Arrived after the taxi driver got lost to many times to count. Glass doors opened for me, bags taken from my hands and escorted to my room on the 7th floor.
The bell boy walked out and I started jumping on the ridiculously large double bed :)
Decided to go for a wander around because I haven't a clue where in Bangkok I am. Ended up walking with tourist then being the only White person or just person in sight. Yes I ended up getting very lost and having to ask people how to get back to my hotel.
Was going to swimming on the rooftop pool but it started to rain :( yet again, always raining in Bangkok. So now I'm laying in bed watching tv :) just had a long skype with my boyfriend, he know wishes he had come Asia with me. Not to long and il see him again :)
Looking forward to everyone arriving tomorrow so the adventures can start :)
