13th December 2008

Well... we've been sorting out all our visa's & doc's in Hua-Hin for the last couple of days. Our main priority being to change our return journey from the 19th of December to the 2nd of June next year. So, you'd think this would be simple but we found ourselves calling the airline for 6 hours yesterday only to be greeted by an engaged tone!! Eventually we called the UK office, which cost us an arm and a leg, but we managed to get it sorted.

After phoning a guest house in Krabi Town & being greeted by yet another permanently engaged tone, the penny began to drop... Yes, that's right, we'd been using the wrong dialling code all day... after discovering this, we thought we'd try the airline in Bangkok again and yes, you've guessed it, they picked up straight away! The joys of foreign dialling codes!!

As you might have guessed, the plans have changed! We are now travelling down South Thailand to visit Krabi Town for a couple of nights & then on to the tiny island of Koh Jum. So we are catching the overnight bus tonight at 8.30pm and are arriving in Krabi at 5.30am tomorrow.
