Koh Jum (Pu)

Koh Jum is 18 miles from Krabi Town, 15 miles from Koh Lanta and only 12 miles from Phi Phi, but in reality it’s like a million miles away. The nightlife is very low key and mostly around beach bars which are closed by 11pm. It has a real local feel where the traditional MuslimContinue reading “Koh Jum (Pu)”

Mallorca

Mallorca is an island we have visited so often and love so much we keep returning year after year. It has so much to offer, a rich culture, excellent food, you can get lost in the mountains of the North, and the scenery on the North West coast is breathtaking. We spend all of ourContinue reading “Mallorca”

Laos

We have visited Asia for either work or leisure since 2000, but it has taken us 19 years before we made it to Laos. It is landlocked, communist, studded with limestone cliffs, gilded Buddhist temples, riddled with caves as well as being home to rare wildlife. As we don’t have the backpacker’s luxury of boundlessContinue reading “Laos”

Koh Muk (Mook)

This is what makes it one of our favourite Thai islands. The island has aContinue reading “Koh Muk (Mook)”

Koh Lipe

This is one of our favourite small islands but, if you are looking for a party island, you will be disappointed as Lipe is a laid back tropical island, where you will find vibrant coral reefs. As it is one of the best locations in Thailand for snorkelling and diving, beach lovers will not beContinue reading “Koh Lipe”

Koh Lanta (Yai)

One of our favorite islands, as it has distinct area that are all different, and is big enough to return to year after year without the full blown over development of Phuket or the pure party feel of Koh Phi Phi. There is a real mix of Muslim-Thai, Chinese-Thai and Urak Lawoi (Sea Gypsies) thatContinue reading “Koh Lanta (Yai)”

Croatia

We had heard so many good things about Croatia but had never visited, so we decided to have the annual family holiday in Croatia in 2018. Looking for ideas on how to keep the whole family happy, we decided to book a 44ft Catamaran with a local skipper through http://www.yacht-rent.com and tour the islands ofContinue reading “Croatia”
