We took a bus and boat to Koh Chang (which according to what we’d read should take three and a half hours). As we were leaving at half 8 we thought we would definitely get there for midday. However, first of all we had to follow a man riding a pink motorbike through Bangkok to get the...

Hi,We’re currently in Bangkok again. We had to come back to get our visas sorted for South Korea. Rachel and I both loved Koh Tao. It was easily our favourite place. It was super-chilled, reasonably priced and you didn’t have to deal with pain in the backsides trying to sell you...

Welcome to mine and Rachel’s travel blog. We’re four months away from taking one of the most exciting and frightening steps of our lives. Currently we work in an office where the only stimulation comes from fiddling with your seat. We’re both government statisticians. Enough...
