2006 Dec17-27 BKK-Phuket Rd Trip

 

Day 1
BKK to Prachuap
Found a beachfront accommodation and made enquiry. Good rate, good stay.

Day 2
Relaxing morning. Visited the aquarium at Prachuap. Slow drive to Chumpon.
'
Day 3
Destination - Isthmus of Kra. Rustic. Beautiful sunset from the corner stilt-unit - right above the sea water where fishermen would come crabbing very early in the morning (4-5am).


Day 4
Local reservoir with lots of fish. Again not many people at all.
Ranong town - with hotspring for public to use (feet soaking) for free.



Day 5
Lots of signages (resort) pointing to a right turn and so I decided to heed their advices.  Next thing we were on a ferry and checked into a beautiful island resort. That evening, a newfound friend took us our for dinner and it turned out the restaurant owner is Ahia Queng!! How wonderful!
