I don’t even know where to begin. With a 3 hour boat, 3 hours waiting, 9 hours on a bus, 24 hours in Bangkok, a 4 hour flight followed by a 9 hour flight, it’s safe to say the journey home wasn’t for the faint hearted and I had a lot of time to reflect about my adventure in Thailand.

For a mere £7 we were being shown nearly all the sights of Ko Samui… We started off with the Ko Samui view point. There was so much blue it was breathtaking! We were so lucky with the weather… I would almost go as far to say that the weather today is one of the best day’s we’ve had this whole trip…

After a 9 hour luxurious bus journey, Tierney and I arrived in Chiang Mai.

Our hostel was called Eco Resort which is absolutely amazing! (We have just moved hostels but Eco Resort is much much better!, I’ll do a post on all my accommodation at the end of the trip.) After quickly dropping off our stuff we took our and first Tuk-Tuk ride and headed to the Walking Market, which is a Night Bazaar that only happens on weekends.
