Valley Vapour - Away 6th-25th May

[drew]

Hi All

As some of you might have noticed by the popup that has been on the site for a while, I will be away from the 6th May 2015 -25th May 2015. My sister is giving me a present (of insanely epic proportions) in advance for my b-day coming up in June. 3 weeks in Thailand!

Whilst I’m not too stoked about having to close up shop, an opportunity like this doesn't come around twice in a lifetime!

Orders placed and paid for by midnight on 6th May will be processed and dispatched on the 7th May as per usual. Order placed after the 6th May will unfortunately only be processed on my return.

My apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.

If you would like to slip in an order before I go please use the coupon code “bonvoyage” for a 10% discount.

Yip, will be travelling with my sis . Gonna be on the lookout for other vapers, they will probably mostly be other travellers as from what I can see it's illegal to import e-cigs into Thailand, hope customs don't give me any uphill!

I'm back! I had the most amazing time, in what I now consider the most beautiful place on the planet. I got tomato red sunburnt, was the daily meal of mosquitoes and have 39 urchin spines stuck in my foot but it was so totally worth it, would do it again in a heartbeat.

Some pics to follow shortly...

39 urchin spines? Jeez, that sounds like it could have been painful!

We took in the region of 2500 pics along the way, so this is just a fraction in the grand scheme of things.

Early morning kayak to monkey beach.

Monkey Beach all to ourselves.


Monkey Beach a couple hours later...

Snorkeling around Phi Phi Island

The nasty bugger that got me in the foot!

Maya Bay, well known for where "The Beach" was shot. Was very crowded so a bit disappointing.

Longtail boats, Phi Phi Island pier at sunrise.

Thai cooking lesson with Artoe Deetoe (legit name), also taught us how to say hello, thank you and show respect in Thai culture.


Beach party fire dancing.

Our bungalow on relax beach.

Scooted around Koh Lanta, literally.

Food was just amazing everywhere

Thermometer pretty accurate for every single day

Tried some fried worms (not sure what they are), just tasted like dust.

Thai temple in old Phuket town.

Phuket Trickeye museum, lots of LOLs here.

Ice cold Chang and a vape at Tew Ley Bar, Railay. Didn't spot a single vaper the whole trip!

Monkeys playing in a puddle at Railay

Ringside Muay Thai, these dudes don't kid around. Final blow was a KO kick to the head.

Railay East

Railay West

Kata Noi

[Viper_SA]

[Rob Fisher]

Just seeing the pics makes me want to go back for a visit! Love the food!

 

[BumbleBee]

@drew you lucky bugger you, jeez that looks so awesome, except for those dust worms, those you can keep

 

[Humbolt]

Wow, looks like you had a blast!
Lol for Artoe Deetoe...most epic name of the year!!

 

[johan]

Awesome @drew. my wife and I were the first South Africans that visited Phi Phi Dong and Phi Phi Le during the late 1980's, visited twice afterwards (before the tsunami), and will definitely like to go again.

I've only been to Bangkok, and I ruined Thai food for me.

I used to love it, ocassionally, but I do have a sensitive stomach to foods outside my norm. I was entertaining clients. Day 3, the worst stomach bug ever... spent the rest of the trip in the hotel room. Haven't touched Thai food since.

But I was having a feast before. And I'd love to visit the islands. Bangkok is too dirty and tainted for me.
