BKK to Prachuap

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!

Ko Samui 2005

SAMUI Holiday - Just the 3 of them... (sigh). I'm left at home again. Can't the airplane take another 5kg? Looks so nice from the website Hi everybody. It is my school holiday and now I'm going to Koh Samui. Looking at the resort from sea I must say I'm enjoying it here! And of course there is this place for you to swim Food and juice freely available like everywhere i go with pa n ma. Then the real adventure starts. High speed catamaran taking us to Koh Tao (Turtle Island) and Koh NangYuan (Pearl of Andaman Sea) Then we got transferred to something smaller at Koh NangYuan... to go snorkelling. Check out the strip of white sand beach on Koh NangYuan here. The sea is moving... I don't like it. But papa said the fish wants to play with me Then koko wants a photo with me. I said "ok" The keropok is nice. Then we are ready to work! First must look for a site. b4 that, must take photo first I found it. the sand here is good. see, my leg has disappeared!! Then we are ready to explore the under-water again what can be better than sipping coconut after a hard day's work? answer: cuddled by your mummy to sleep. Last day in Samui. Jalan jalan with Vitara. One of the waterfalls in Samui 4 wheel drive in Koh Samui - Go Peng Go. Go Go Go! Somehow entered this place with lots of animals. Not this one but others And mummy missed LuWei so much that she insisted in feeding a 3-month old The famous HinTaHinYai place... Dad n Mum didn't explain much about this place Mum got sun burn visible on her neck I'm ok 'cos put a lot of sunblock Then on our way to Chaweng beach (the most popular spot in Samui), we stopped at this restaurant w excellent view to have lunch Then we visited Chaweng And then had tea And then to airport... that's when we heard about problems in London The airport is nothing like what I've seen... you take this colourful bus to board the plane. Looking down at the mainland meeting Gulf of Thailand.. about 6pm sunset. Exact question from TjiaWern "is God here". Plane is now over Bangkok air space. You can see winding Menam ChaoPhraya from here. Copyright TLLau
