We started our trail in Thailand and have since met many travellers who have done the same. In this post we review each of the places we stayed. We are budget travellers but we try to get the best we can for our money, we haven’t yet shared a dorm since they don’t offer good value […]

Our second week in Thailand was spent on the beautiful island of Koh Tao. Thailand’s islands are very popular with tourists and we did some research into them all before deciding we would visit just Koh Tao rather than island hop.
