Just a Kidd

What's that sorry?You forgot I existed?...well I guess I can't really blame you there Hey everyone, yes I know it's been a while but what can I say? I am a busy girl BUT this year mama is gonna turn it around! That's right, a post a week people. I love this little blog and I would love to see it grow this year. I've got some big things planned and I can't wait to get started. Before we get into what's to come this year this year though, we've got to take a look back at 2017. I'm just going to come out and say it, 2017 may be the best year of my life. I had the chance to do so many amazing things and have so many incredible experiences that I may not ever have again and I am so so grateful for them. Not to mention being extremely proud of myself for working hard and allowing a lot of them to happen. If you've been reading my blog, or follow any of my social media at all, then it's obvious to you that this year I took a gap year and we...

So you've seen all mad instagrams of girls dressed in neon clothing with floral body paint all over them, or people jumping through a ring of fire on the beach, or the one I've included at the top of the post, and you've thought "damn, I want to go to the Full Moon Party". Well then this one is for you. Just like any night out, the Full Moon Party can be either absolutely awesome or absolutely dreadful and that all depends on doing your research. With this simple guide, you can ensure your safety and enjoyment at the Full Moon Party (well, as much as you can ensure anything in Thailand). 1. Book your accommodation early! The Full Moon Party takes place every month in a variety of places in South Thailand. It originated in Haad Rin on the island of Koh Pha Ngan, making this home to the biggest of all the celebrations, meaning it gets booked up QUICKLY. Try to stay as close to Haad Rin as possible in order to avoid complications when you decide to leave. We...

Oh my goodness it's been so long! I've had such a blogging dry spell because of Uni work, it's ridiculous. I've missed blogging so much and although I should probably be reading right now, I would much rather pretend I was back in Thailand ;) From Koh Phi Phi, we got a ferry to to Krabi, where we had to stay for the night and get a bus and ferry to Koh Samui the next day. The main thing to remember in Thailand is that EVERYONE is a salesman, we made the mistake of telling our taxi driver we didn't have ferry tickets for the next day, so he was on it straight away and we didn't really have time to look around for prices. Literally everything you do, somebody will try to sell you something. As soon as we arrived in Phuket, our bus to the hotel actually took us to a tourist information centre where they tried to sell us all sorts of day trips and awful elephant shows. My main tip is to have an idea of what you are doing beforehand so you don't get dragged...

So I've got ridiculous travelling blues right now. I've been at Uni for just over a week now, and all I can think about is how much I want to be back on the beaches of Thailand, which sucks. It's probably a bit cruel to make myself write about it while I'm feeling so low, but I was looking at the pictures anyway so lets do it. From Siem Reap we flew to Phuket, the largest of the Thai islands. My excitement to finally be reaching the Thai islands was off the scale, I was hyped and I had good reason to be, look at that birds eye view! We managed to find a huge room in a strange English/Russian pub thing, it was a bit weird but it was £8 a night and I was not complaining. We were a 10 minute walk from the beach and in the centre of town, so we did good.  Phuket was very strange for me, mainly due to the large amount of Russian tourists. You hear Russian being spoken in the streets more than Thai or English, there are Russian signs everywhere, and Thai restaurant sta...

I'm making myself write this one post before we leave because I haven't posted in ages, which means I'm going to have a huge workload once I get home. We've just come back to Bangkok and we have 2 days here before flying home. I can't believe our 3 month adventure is coming to an end, but I'll be able to relive it all when I write my blogposts about each place we've been. Once we were finally able to leave Pai, we had to get a 3 hour very bendy bus journey back to Chiang Mai through the hills of Thailand. There were 9 people in this minibus, including the women in front of me who was experiencing very bad travel sickness and throwing up for most of the journey. Very fun. In Chaing Mai we had to wait a few hours until our next bus to Chiang Rai left, so we decided to get an uber back to our favourite cheap food spot 'Lucky Toos' before heading back to the bus station. A quiet morning in Chiang Rai We only stayed one night in Chiang Rai b...
