I’ve now been in Koh Pha Ngan for 8 days and as yet I have done nothing constructive. I haven’t did any day trips, I haven’t hired a bike to travel around the island and I haven’t done…..well I haven’t did anything except from drink. I didn’t want to drink much during this trip but … Read more
Last Thursday me and Chris left Lamai and headed up to the north of Samui to a quiet place called Ban Ruk. It’s where the boats leave for other islands. It was pretty good but perhaps a little quiet for us as there was only one good pub but even that was quiet most of … Read more
I’ve been in Lamai, Koh Samui since last Friday. Me and Chris got dropped in the town centre and whilst walking we found a cheapish place called Bonny Hotel. From the outside the place looks awful, an old grey blocky building that wouldn’t look out of place in communist Russia or North Korea. But we … Read more
I spoke to my friend Chris yesterday. We had spoke about spending some time in Phuket before heading of to Koh Samui but Chris was unable to get a flight down to Phuket so we decided to just meet in Samui. Before I came to Thailand I visited the Thai Consulate in Glasgow to get … Read more
I’ve been in Rawai for over a month now but since I cannot train anymore, I will probably be going somewhere else in Thailand. I’ve not trained for a week now and to put it bluntly, I’ve been really bored. I had planned on staying here the full time to train so getting injured has … Read more

Here are some pictures from a night out there a few weeks ago (Saturday 24th January). Cameron (Australia) with Pippin, the nice lady who looks after … Read more
Just about every day we go to a great little restaurant across the street called Archees. It’s run by a really nice family. They are always smiling and laughing and make us feel really welcome. We’ve been there most days for over 5 weeks now so they are really great with us. The other day … Read more
Seeing as this is my 7th day in Thailand, I thought I would do a quick post about how things are going here. First off, I haven’t taken any pictures. Though I will try and get some good ones of the gym in the next few weeks. :) The Muay Thai Life I left Scotland … Read more
Well I’m off to Thailand to train in Muay Thai for a few months. I will be staying in the south of Phuket and will be training at Rawaii Muay Thai. It’s been around -5 degrees celcius the last week or so in Scotland so I’m looking forward to training in the sunshine every day. … Read more
After enjoying a strong British Pound for a year or so, the strength of the Britiains currency has been hit hard in the last few months. This really hit home a few weeks ago when I was over in Dublin. The cheapest drink I bought was €5.50 however most drinks cost €7 or more, particularly … Read more
