Salt water is my friend. We spent the day taking a tour around a bunch of the Phi Phi islands with stops to snorkel, lounge on beaches (including "The Beach" Beach- quite lovely, but loads of people make it not so much the Utopia it was in the movie), and we fed monkeys on "Monkey Island". Snorkeling was fun, although unbenownst to me, Claire threw a piece of bread to the school of fish behind me and told me to turn around with a look of fear on her face. Of course I didn't, because I was petrified that a shark was behind me. The fish were cute, but it's creepy swimming through a bunch of them. The ride out on the speed boat was on choppy water this morning, I can compare it to riding in a car with square wheels...not nice after a late night out!
It's pouring rain now, but we've made use of the many Tuk Tuk's that are happy to serve us. They have these fun ones that are motorcycles with side benches...hard to explain, but it's quite cool. Tomorrow Claire is off for a scuba dive and I'm going to busy myself by finding trouble in town. We are thinking of going to Surat Thani, a city on the Gulf of Thailand Coast, then ferrying to Ko Phanang or Ko Samui...there's better diving there for Claire and I'm up for seeing as much as I can.

hello there! I am 'home' in Bangkok, reluctant to acknowledge my holidays are over :D Good to read your blog :)
I got a tip on Ko Samui, a place 600THB a night so maybe a bit too much, but it is new and next year it will be doing at least double (so I've been told). It's called The Samui Native Resort & Spa, 13/3 Moo 2, Maenam Soi. www.samuinative.com
It was so nice to have met you, I haven't laughed like that in ages!! :):) Big hug!! Sabine
