The end of Thailand, Malaysia & Singapore!

Ok wow haven't written in this in a while so will try to keep it as brief as I can, but you know me!!!
Ok so after Christmas it was down south to the islands. From Bangkok it was to Ko Tao where we spent New Year partying on the beach - surreal! Then we took the ferry over to Ko Phangan to the half moon party. A rave party in the jungle with buckets of vodka & redbull and uv body painting, not really our scene, but we had the best night, very drunken! We then went up to the north of Ko Phangan and spent a couple of days sunning ourselves on the beach and eating too much. Before we left Ko Phangna to get the boat to Krabi I found toast & marmite!!! It was great I loved it!

After the islands it was to Krabi, which was a great place. We did some Kayaking through caves which was great fun and very interesting, however we were both bitten alive! We also went snorkeling in the Phi Phi Islands, the water was so beautiful & amazing, loads of different fish. We visited the beach where "The Beach" was filmed which was lovely, however there were about 50 speedboats all parked up along the beach, so full of tourists! Great food street markets in Krabi and it was great to be back on the main land where everything was so much cheaper than the islands.
Our last stop in Thailand was Phuket, well actually Patong bay. We had a very scary bus journey that day, our driver was off his head and basically overtook at anytime, bugger anyone else who was coming the other way. This place was a bit of a dumped but good party scene. We went to an Aussie bar where we met an Aussie and then went partying with the ladyboys, who are more feminine than me!!!!! Loved Thailand, so cheap, beautiful beaches, great food, cheap beer, funny wee Thai ladies, and great weather!
So next stop was Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia. Flight from Phuket to KL took around 3 hours. KL is a nice enough city quite dirty though and apart from shopping and the Petronas Twin Towers not much else to do really . Hostel was great, and 2 minutes from the monorail which we used everyday. The shopping was amazing the only purchase though was a new camera (dropped it when I was slightly pi55ed at the halfmoon party) great deal! If you want electronics Malaysia is the place, they love them. The Petronas towers were very impressive, you get to go up to the 41 floor onto the sky bride to look out over KL. Oh yeh I forgot I did buy a fake designer handbag from the china town market, got a tip off from Karen Ogg. Found a great bar, the beach bar, it was like dining in a club almost. Great cocktails & live band.

6 hour train journey to Singapore was next. Had to get off the train with all our stuff go through passport control and then load back on at the border, but that was ok. We met up with our friend Stuart from home, so great to see him & see a friendly face. First night we had a few beers at a bar with happy hour, catching up on the last 10 months. Next day we sweated all the alcohol out of us by walking up and down Orchard road. Again people in Singapore love to shop! We also went to the night safari which was great fun. Although wandering around in the dark when you cant see things did feel weird. We went on a tram ride in the dark through all the different parts, saw hippos, lions, tigers & elephants and there was no fence, no nothing between them & us!!!! Thank god most of them were sleeping. Joe was picked out of the crowd to have a huge python wrapped round his neck - bless him he looked so nervous. It was such a good night, we walked through a cave with free flying fruit bats which I didn't like that much. We also took the cable car to Mount Faber to see a view over Singapore. This evening we are going to see the worlds largest fountain in the heart of Singapore. Tomorrow night we do the best thing and go to Raffles Hotel for some Singapore slings, woo hoo. Singapore is my favourite city so far, so so clean you get fined for littering, spitting even chewing gum (they don't even sell it here). The people are so friendly do anything to help you and unlike the Thia's they don't expect any money for doing it. Its rained everyday here though, but its just like taking a shower, warm rain, but there is a lot of it you end up getting pretty soaked!
That is our south east Asia trip finished on the 24th January we fly to Perth western Australia, and we are really looking forward to it.
Asia has been great though, we have had so much fun and are still having the time of our lives, absolutely loving it. Will miss the cheapness of everything here though.
Favourite place in Thailand was Chiang Mai, loved that place we had such a great tim there. Fav beer was Chang beer, fav food was Pad Thai (noodles, beansprouts, chicken/prawns). Fav night out was the halfmooon party, never been to anything like that in my life. Fav city is Singapore. Asia was amazing, but we are now looking forward to 6 months down under.

First Perth for a few days then head south to Margaret River then back to Perth to meet Kathryn & Lisa for 10 days ahhhhhhh so excited about that its gonna be so much fun!
So until Australia...............................

P.S Miss you all hope you are all grand xx
