An Island in Thailand

So after a few sweet-sweet days we had to pull the ancor and sail away.


As one can see this time of the year here is the fullon rainy season, and when the monsoon comes.... run for cover like there is no tomorrow! :-)

A littlebit of island emotions...

...and than taking long rests to give time for those digestive enzimes :-)

Having fresh coconut breakfast for long hours...

So we made good use of their pad and made it our home away from everywhere else in no time.

They where a handful of jolly tattoo artists, who spent their days with fishing, smoking pot and playing sweet local music.

On the island most of the businesses are closed for the season, but we managed to find some local fisher-guys who let us stay with them.

After a few days we took a boat back to the mainland, and after a few hours bus ride we found ourselves on the Andaman sea. There sailing a bit more, we spotted the island of Koh Payam that is even smaller than the previous one and real low key with practically no tourist.

We didn't have those fancy underwater cameras, but I can assure y'all that the corals we saw around where like formations from another planet.

10 out of 5 for real!!

Gabri even invested into not one, but straight away two sets of snorkeling kits (one kid-size and one regular :-))

So we where eager to get down to the shore to see what is all the fuss about.

This island is not bigger than 20 square km's, but it's beaches harbour one of the richest coral-life there is.

Well, since in Thailand, we figured we would check out some islands along the golf. After all this is one of the main attractions of the country. So we took a boat and after a few hours on the sea, hit the shore on the coast of Koh Tao.
