this is probably the first on-the-road update in a couple years! and will be brief cause i want to get back outside to the beach. kings, andy and i met up last saturday in bangkok and after a long night of drinking caught an early (and long) bus from the capital down to trat before jumping on a ferry over to koh chang where we've spent the week.
back to bangkok on saturday before heading home unfortunately, but it's been a lot of relaxing fun so far.
more from us soon :)

Thailand

With Kings back in London and me working away here in Perth, not much has been happening here at mikeandkings.com. I keep saying I'll start writing more, yet I seem to be getting pretty slack in that department. So...I'll say it again, I'll TRY to keep this place a little more updated.
Tomorrow, Sept 13th, I'm heading over to Thailand for 2 weeks. The main reason for the trip (according to work anyway) is for the team leader conference on Sept 19th, but the real reason is to have some fun!!
8 of us are heading out a week before the conference to head to Koh Samui and on Sunday to Koh Phangan for the Full Moon Party - around 10,000 people dancing on the white sand beach. We're spending a couple days around the islands before flying up to Bangkok for the conference, and on Saturday Sept 20th Kings and Andy (who are living together in London...no, not in that way) are flying down from London to meet me up!
We're then going to spend a week drinking and relaxing on the beaches of Koh Chang and the surrounds. I honestly can't wait for this trip - it's only been 3 months since Vietnam (which was fantastic by the way - photos are on facebook if you haven't seen them already, I'll link to it soon) but I'm really looking forward to getting back to Asia.
With any luck I'll actually remember to update the page over the next 2 weeks, but if not I will post photos on facebook (and here if I get around to it) and post any stories that can be told.
If anyone is going to be around thailand in the next 2 weeks shoot me an email, maybe we can cross paths :)
til then...

On the road again...
by

I'm sitting in the Orchid Club Lounge at the Park Royal Hotel in Kuala Lumpur. Yes, folks - I'm back in the world of the travelling! Sure, it's a reasonably short 2 week trip that'll take me from the comfort of the currently not-so-sunny city of Perth, up here to KL and then into the elongated 'S' that is Vietnam.
I'm not doing it alone this time round though - since it's such a short trip, I've employed the help of some travel professionals (apart from myself) to get me there; on Tuesday I'll be starting a 2 week trip with Intrepid from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh city taking in all the sites Vientam can throw at me!
I'm only spending today here in KL, and I do plan on making the most of it so will keep this short. This morning was spent relaxing before taking a stroll down to the Starhll Gallery and then over to KLCC at the Petronas Towers. I was here a little over a year ago and have taken in most of the sites but it's still fun to revisit it all.
I'm also in the process of trying to get some more writing done - not of the blog variety, more something in the vain of travel writing, or maybe a book. It's still early days - but I'll try to get this site updated if anything comes of it. After all, it's the stories in these pages that brought it all on.
But more on that later...for now I have to sign off and head over to the spa - it's time for my massage.
Until then...
Mike
