Feel like so much has happened already since my last update!!
We went to Mae Haad beach, north of Phangan for the afternoon on our last day which was very pretty. What a roasting hot day it was aswell!! phew!!nicest day in Phangan since we got here I think..and now we're leaving! Grrr!!
In the evening we decided to call our mates from Essex and finally meet up with them before we were going seperate ways. So took a taxi down to Baan Tai (again..we should have stayed on this part of the island in the first place) and met Paul, Ashleigh, Fang, Mark and Siobhan at there Hansa Resort which was lovely. Really good to see them all and catch up on stories of what we have all been up to..seems they have fallen in love with Thailand too! you cant not! Spent the night having a few drinks, listening to Paul have a little mix, played some pool and chilled on the comfy sofas on the beach.
Next day we were up early(ish) to catch our boat and set off on our 27hour journey to Laos!! So this is how the trip went - taxi to pier, 3 hour boat to Surat Thani, 1 hour coach to train station, sat on train for hour and a half before it actually left, on train for 13 hours, arrived in Bangkok. Got 1 hour flight to Uran Thani, got couple more buses, crossed the Laos border and got a taxi to our hotel!! phew!! we are now here safe and sound and ready to snooze before heading out this evening to take a mosy around. Doesn't seem like theres an actualy centre here, looks pretty spread out! The driving is very interesting out here, not particularly fast but they over take on the other side of the road so u have a car coming head on towards u before they move bk into the right lane again! lol.
We will probably go on a day tour or something tomorrow, see what we can while we are here in Vientiane for 2 nights.
