Very sad news

They experienced so much in over 18 months of amazing adventure. They died together doing what they loved.

Scary to read that the road toll in Thailand is something like 13,000 per year or 19.6 per 100,000 population.

By way of comparison Australia is 5.7 per 100,000.

You think reading about it is scary, try travelling in a tuk-tuk amongst it. We thought Koh Samui was bad when we got there, then we went to Bangkok.....

Must admit we didnt try the train, we were only in bangkok for 2 days and one of those was a public holiday. We did use a cabbie as a chauffeur for the day which cost us next do nothing + a trip to 1 jewellery shop which i walked into, did a lap and walked back out
