21 May 2010 Following my stop off at the baby elephant location… Half way around the island I saw another sign pointing to another waterfall (I hadn’t stopped previously) and decided I ought to take a look. Trekking through the jungle I found my mind wondering to snakes, how many different kinds of snakes do […]
Baby Elephant
May 22, 2010 by
21 May 2010 Hired scooter Set off to drive around Koh Samui (James was organising to buy a suit) Took photos of some baby elephants, was interested in finding out how much it would cost to get a photo with the baby tiger (advertised) but decided against it when no one was close by to […]

May 22, 2010 by
19 May 2010 $150 THB from Railay to Krabi Town. $400 THB by taxi, bus and then ferry over six hours to get to Koh Samui. On the ferry various Thai sellers wanted to offer us a taxi ride to Chaweng Beach (popular side of the island )for $150 THB, we politely declined and were […]

Railay Lagoon & Lookout
May 22, 2010 by
17 May 2010 Having so far been mostly negative about Railay let me now talk about one of those little adventures that you are initially sceptical about setting out on only for it to turn out as one of the best activities so far. [pe2-gallery class=”alignright” ] [/pe2-gallery] On the map a lagoon is shown […]

Railay Overrated
May 20, 2010 by
17 May 2010 We didn’t manage the 8am departure that had been intended, an early start would have been almost disrespectful to Thai culture. I say that purely in our own defence, when I give it more thought I would say Thai workers are more likely to have an early start, possibly even a late […]
Krabi Town Awesome – Ao Nang Lame
May 20, 2010 by
15 May 2010 Took a bus (ute with seats in the back) to Ao Nang expecting a livelier joint that Krabi Town. It’s all setup as a tourist destination but it just doesn’t have enough tourists, it’s too quiet. I put the problem down to tourists not knowing where the ‘good spot’ to go is […]
Free Rock Climbing & Cliff Jumping
May 16, 2010 by
14 May 2010 Bloody Awesome. With the American’s we’d met a couple of nights before we paid a local long boat driver to take us out for half a day to some of the popular cliff jumping areas. Cliff jumping is great, it is rock climbing but without the need for equipment plus the added […]
Tiger Cave Temple
May 16, 2010 by
13 May 2010 The time had come for some jungle walking, to experience Buddhist culture and to search for some tigers. James and I set off on hired scooters with a vague sense of direction. Eventually we spotted a large concrete structure which formed part of the temple, we had made it. A female monk […]
