We arrived in Sukhothai around 6pm in the evening. The bus journey although long was easy. I was also intrigued by all the birds I saw as we approached our destination. There seemed to be loads of Stalk or Crain like birds flying around. I continued to see lots of these birds for the rest... Continue Reading →
Bangkok
Right strap yourselves in this may be a long one! We arrived in Bangkok around 6pm local time on Thursday the 8th. We passed quickly through security (another stamp for the passport) and gathered our bags, luckily no long wait for me this time and headed to our hostel. At this point, I still felt...

Cameron Highlands & Final day in KL
So the bus to the Highlands took about 4 and a half hours with the final hour consisting of ascending up the winding road to the highlands. The bus would have to beep every time it went around a tight corner to let oncoming traffic know it was coming. The road offered some stunning views... Continue Reading →
Kuala Lumpur
We eventually arrived in Kuala Lumpur (KL) around 10.30pm after a 9-hour bus journey from Singapore. That probably sounds like it was pretty horrendous but in all honesty, it really wasn’t that bad.

On returning to the hostel around 8 pm we all swiftly went to bed. I then proceeded to wake up at 2 am whereby... Continue Reading →

Lads Weekend in Cornwall
So not quite South East Asia but how about pretty much as far South West in England you can get, St. Ives, Cornwall. I thought I would detail this short weekend adventure before the big trip begins as a bit of practice getting to grips with this whole blog stuff and to see if I’m... Continue Reading →
The Adventure Begins
So today I decided to start my own blog! Most people probably won't care or even bother ever reading anything I write (can't say I blame you, one of a million travel bloggers out there). But at the end of the day I'm not doing it for that (although if in 5 years I have... Continue Reading →
