After a lovely trip to the UK visiting family and friends we were on our way back to the land of smiles.The trip to Heathrow was worse than the 11 hour flight to bangkok. An accident on the M25 meant that we were stuck on the London Carpark for an extra 2 hours. 4.5 hours in a car isn't an ideal start so glad my dad talked us into leaving a bit early It felt good to be back in Thailand the

It isn't just doom and gloom in the Kanchanaburi area but let's start with the Hellfire Pass anyway.We visited the infamous section of the death railway at the Konyu Cutting. There is an official Australian historical memorial site and museum here and they provide an excellent but heartbreaking audio tour which greatly enhances the walking trails. It's full of soundbites from surviving POW's and

Found a cute backstreet cafe run by a husband and wife team which is thankfully less expensive than the ones on the main street so we ate breakfast and tea here. We had a wander down to the beach in the afternoon and walked along the promenade. It's a really long beach and therefore nice and uncrowded. We then had another look round the main centre and were harassed every 2mins by people selling b

A 2km walk to the bus station 2 hour bus journey into Bangkok a stressful 10 minutes trying to work out where to get the 511 bus from the Southern Terminal to the Eastern Terminal someone took pity on us and helped us . Finally got on the bus which took about 45 minutes to navigate across the city enabling me to spy lots more

Irsquove been adjusting to life in Asia learning Korean and trying to understand the culture more so as to not offend anyone. Well on top of that Irsquove spent my Saturdays the last two weekends taking daytrips around Busan. Yes

I'd always wanted to check out Bowen Island so was pleasantly surprised when Kenny booked a night over there. Only 20 minutes on the ferry from horseshoe bay meant a nice short journey there.The island is a real little getaway from the daily hustle and bustle and our bb was a real little hidden gem. The island is tiny and explored pretty easily. Our accommodation was overlooking Kilarney lake s

SEOUL Irsquoll refrain from the cheesey Seoul soul comparisons. You know the ones ldquoSeoul the soul of Koreardquo. Those types.I rode the KTX train up to Seoul for the three day weekend over the 23rd 24th and 25th. My schools birthday was on the Friday which meant we didnrsquot have school. Have I mentioned how much I love Korea Anyway I decided kind of spur of the moment the Su
