Not content with cycling just from London to Sydney, we thought we’d add (another!) extra 160km to our trip by popping down for the day (like you do!) to Phuket island. Since we were so near we thought it would be rude not to! :p So off we went and […]

After our jungle adventure, we got back on our bikes (this time ready to take on the fl*pping great big hill!). Tracing our steps back to Takua Pa, and then onwards to Khao Lak – a popular tourist resort with a nice tropical beach, and loads and loads and loads […]

With an easy 40km day ahead of us, we had a bit of lie-in, and set off rather late. We hoped to be at the park in a couple of hours, and perhaps do a bit of light trekking before sun-down. Little did we know that between us and the […]

Having found out where we were from the hotel manager and Miss ‘Wee’, we continued on the coastal roads and finally found our way to the National Park. There was so much to see in the national park, but we had to restrict ourselves to only the best sites, that […]
