Feb 26, 2009 - Thailand...

Okay, so Josh and I went our separate ways yesterday, him back to Australia, and me off to Thailand. All in all, a pretty pleasant way to spend the evening! Unfortunately my room was stinking hot, with only a fan, and a squat toilet, which really is quite a traumatising experience to use! lol But the bed was clean, if as hard as the concrete floor of my room, so I managed to get some sleep! This morning I headed straight out to Hat Yai, a larger town further north east. ... There is nothing to do here either except shop, which I don't have the finances to do, so I'm off to Krabi and Phi Phi Island tomorrow, for a bit more of a touristy experience, lol.Okay, so Josh and I went our separate ways yesterday, him back to Australia, and me off to Thailand.

20 minutes, and back on the minivan to Hat Yai. ... It's nice to be back in Hat Yai, even if it is just a market town/routing center. ... But one fun thing about Hat Yai is the markets - fruit, veg, fish meat, spices. ...

Dec 2, 2008 - Escape

So, we started digging this tunnel from bangkok and have so far got 3 metres to the border.

Sep 27, 2008 - Goodbye Malaysia, Hello Thailand!

Ok, so it took us twice as long as it should have (12 hrs instead of 6 - local buses & minivans aren't always easy to find, and we missed a train by seconds - grrr!), but we made it safely to Hat Yai in Thailand. ... It only took a couple more hours to find a hostel(!) with the help of all of the very friendly people selling (very delicious) food outside the 7-11 near the bus station! We slept well, and hopped straight on another minibus for Krabi in the morning.Ok, so it took us twice as long as it should have (12 hrs instead of 6 - local buses & minivans aren't always easy to find, and we missed a train by seconds - grrr!), but we made it safely to Hat Yai in Thailand. ...
