Summer Plans!

Spent the last few weeks ironing out my summer plans with my new travel buddy Tango! Getting so excited ... and have only just realised that in less than a week we leave!! As my phone will not work abroad, I will have no means of contacting anyone, apart from pay phones to make calls home.  So here is a sketchy outline of where we will be:

July 29th (+1 day)
Fly to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Stay in the Silka Maytower Hotel.

Very excited for this swimming pool!

July 31st

Fly to Surat Thani in Thailand ad head straight over to Koh Phangan by ferry.

Lucky for us, Air Asia had flights fo just 24quid! Bargain, and as we will be spending the resto the trip slumming it on local busses and trains, we couldn't resist to kick start the holiday off in style!

As for the choice of Koh Phangan.... I know  have been there twice before, but I couldn't resist being so close whilst there is a full moon party! Plus of all the places I have visited, this island is very near the top of my faourite list.. so as they say.. it would be rude not to!

We will be staying at Venus Resort: http://www.phangan.info/venus/ in some cliff bungalows.

While were here we plan to:

 elephant trekking

 island hopping

 waterfall day trips

and of course Full Moon!

August 6th
Bus to Phuket and trip to  Koh Phi Phi

From here on we are unsure how long we will spend anywhere but these are the other places we plan on visiting:

Lang Kawi, Malaysia

Penang, Malaysia

Melaka, Malaysia

Pahang, Malaysia - Elephant conservation centre: http://www.endemicguides.com/Kuala_Gandah.htm

Singapore

Kuala Lumpur

Our flight back to Japan is on 24th August!

Me and my travelling buddy cannot wait!!!
