April 2026 // Misson Complete, I found and met all my brothers, Songkran Festivities began, and I made some lovely friends 💓

I was still in Pattaya at this point after seeing my final brother a few hours earlier. The next morning went for a little walk and made my plans to return to the UK.

Tattoo had all healed by this point.

Went out and met some guys on the app for the evening, and again, I'm so glad I did, I actually put off meeting them for like 24 hours or so cause I do actually get nervous and anxious at times

John showed me how to shoot. @johnwoodward276 

The next morning we went to the near by island. I actually came here in 2011 with my parents but it was so nice to experience it in a different way with some amazing people

Sea swimming 🥽

Went on the banana boat 🚢⛵ @gretadanziger

Back in Pattaya after the boat trip

We then decided to go for a British Sunday Roast. A few of them had never had one before so it was an experience

Songkran, Thai's new year, the festival began early in Pattaya and we was not ready, we got soaked so ended up buying water guns

We gotta defend ourselves

Mortal

No one came near me

Pretty sure she was being charged 😂

The North Province 

After arriving in Bangkok from Krabi airport I got the night train up north - an horrendous journey, arrived at the hotel maybe 5am after setting off at 8pm as it was last minute there was no beds :(

Next day I rested, and managed to rent a bike to go up into the mountains and a dam, it was fairly pretty but there wasn't many people around, and certainly not anyone that spoke English! You'd think I wouldn't want to get on a bike after my crash, but nope, that don't stop me. 🤣

The next morning, I met my brother! (There's 4 in total, this is my mum's second born) I met him, his wife, and my niece 15 years ago so we was reunited.

We went to the mall to cool down and have dinner. He then took me and the family to some waterfalls. 

The next day, we went to some big damns and seen some buffaloes, walked along a big bridge and went to a fake beach along the river. Ended the stay by visiting some stunning temples. 

To have some quality one on one time with my family was so incredibly special.. especially after all these years 💖 the final video is when we said goodbye to eachother, and as you can see I was a little upset. Hopefully it's not too long before we see eachother 💖 by @bobbywgn

April 2026 🇹🇭

AO NANG (continued) x

Had a night out with the hostel lot before deciding my next location to visit my family. Met some lovely people, the joy of looking back through memories at a later date, especially when back home, they bring a smile to my face. 

Next day, seen Alex chilling with her smoothie, said she was booked on a tour in 10 mins time, so of course I booked on 🤣  did a few islands, Chicken Island, Poda Island. Again, a good group of people! we ate, sang, and visited stunning places..

The day after, me and Alex was having some beautiful food by the sea, and we got onto the topic of tattoos, anyway, a few minutes later I was in a tattoo place designing my tattoo, my first one with bamboo - alot less painful than usual

It brings my Thai culture together with my British culture - you can see a few different designs. Me and Alex said goodbye to eachother as later that day, Ieft for the airport....🇹🇭✈️ by @bobbywgn

Dolly Parton 🦋💔

Growing up my dad would play Dolly's music around the house on his record player, and in the garden during sunny hot days.

For me, it's a core childhood memory, but also something much deeper, my first real taste of music, listening to her sing, the lyrics, her openness to tell a story in the best way possible, through song.

As I got older I only admired her more and more as I learned about her as a person, her kindness and the love and joy she brought to so many people as well as the ability to laugh at herself.

I'm sat here, a little in disbelief even though I knew this day would come, it feels like a piece of my childhood, some of her songs come on, and I'm transported back to those younger days, my love for music, listening and singing, started here, with Dolly.

People always say, they'll never be another, but in this case, they ain't wrong. 

"The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain."

Dolly, I will always love you ❤️ by @bobbywgn

A little video from the drone 

Stunning...we then left Krabi, and made our way to Ao Nang, the next town along..

Later in the evening once checked into hostel we met for some drinks, I ordered Gray Goose 🦆 vodka, because the Thai one was vile, but my god it was pricy. 

Vicki and Alex, the first time they met. Ovs Alex was chuffed to be sharing me 🤣

We went on the hostel night out. And played some games. 

The vibes was good. Didn't really drink loads cause it was that cheap vodka hahaha, call me a diva 

Back to the hostel and Vicky was a little bit hot 🥵😉🔥 by @bobbywgn

From: Ayutthaya - Bangkok - Krabi 

Jumped on another train after saying goodbye to my family in Ayutthaya and back down to Bangkok for a flight to Krabi. 

I met up Vicki again who was in the area, but also made some new friends too...

Come fly with me 

My first Haircut in Thailand 

The result. Was pretty decent TBF and cheap 

My hostel, met a right character here, forgot her name. 

The Mangroves in Krabi. 
Me and Vicki managed to get a deal on a longtail boat by ourselves and it was well cute 

Selfie 😍

Sailing through the groves, The new Jurassic Park was filmed here 

Just me ain't it 

Another selfie inside the caves 

Colourful Crabs 

Mangrove caves 

Fish Farm at this fishing village at the end of tha mangroves 

Went to get my teeth cleaned and polished, cause it's hard to find a dentist in the UK that's actually affordable 

Selfie from Dentist 

Found this drink (in 7/11) and it was lovely, went to meet some other solo travellers, and my first meet up with Alex (wish we got some photos together!) 

There was a few others as well and they was also lovely. 

Went to an Irish bar, I met a older man, in his 50's and the conversation I had with him was so enlightening, I was still nervous and anxious and worried about work, but he told me I was doing the right thing by trying to trace my family

Probs ready for a nap here

My bag and clothes...the blue bag, I got on my first ever solo holiday to Tenerife in 2021, £2.99 I paid for it, something stupid like that, people take the piss and call me Dora but i don't care, it's a good bag. (Sadly it's broke now, but I still have it) 

That's ALL I had in terms of clothes, because obviously I didn't expect to stay as long as I did, but the experience made me realise you don't actually need much. 6 weeks, so that's why U always look like I'm in the same clothes, because I am. But I do wash them. Don't worry x by @bobbywgn

Phuket - Bangkok - Ayutthaya. 

Back to the family's roots. 
I loved these days. Spending time with my brother, one on one, 15 years later. 

He took me around the old city of Ayutthaya, showed me where he grew up, and I even got to stay a few days with him, his wife, and their family...my family. 

It may seem trivial, but growing up, my family (here in the UK) have never sat round the table and had dinner, not at Christmas, like never. 

So it was a wild concept sitting with my family having tea, going out on the scooter to the local markets to pick up fresh meat, walking, basic really, but so very special. 💓

It's also wild the trains leave the doors open. 

My little elephant in Bangkok ready to board the night train 

Why's the door open?

Say a little pray for me x

Friends? 

Family 

It's me x

Some photos my brother took of me 

Smiles 

See the face in the tree? 

Tried this? Not sure what it was. Was sweet. 

Went to the huge temple

march 26; When my flights back to the UK got cancelled, I had two choices, come back (and fly through the warzone) or stay and follow my heart and find my family. 

You all know I chose the second option, a complete difference experience began, staying in Thailand, in Asia, alone, the first few days, my anxiety was through the roof, I sat on the beach at Phuket airport looking for flights back to the UK, telling myself I was stupid. 

I met my lovely friend Vicky @vix_northern_nomad_ugc through a solo travelling group app - she genuinely helped and calmed me through so much of that anxiety at the time. 

I remember sitting at dinner one night with her, and she said, the universe will give us signs, and just like that a loud rumbling of thunder ⚡ 

I didn't have a plan....but I was on the right path.

The little elephant was a parting gift, he came everywhere with me, and he symbolises us being together, even when we weren't. 💓 by @bobbywgn
