Sawadeeka Thailand!

We are finally in Thailand.

We first arrived in Koh Samui, but the weather was a bit pants so did not get up to much... Just getting massages (one hour for less than £3), phad thai (tasty noodles with tofu, peanuts and chilli) and some local beers (Chang!).

We then moved on to Koh Tao. This turtle island (Tao means turtle in Thai) has got everything you need: lovely beaches during the day, some nice food and parties at night (I also got dragged to the pub to watch a Liverpool game...) We rented a quad one day to travel around the island and hit some pretty nice beaches.






We are currently in Koh Lanta. This island is in the Andaman sea, on the other side from the previous two. We had to take a night boat, surprisingly comfortable with double beds and A/C as well as two minivans and a couple of small ferries. It took us a while but we got here in the end, after a mere 17hours...

It is 'low season' on this side of Thailand so the place is very quiet which means nice beaches with very few people.

We were welcomed by a lovely sunset and today we rented some bikes to go explore a little bit. We went to Phra Ae beach (or long beach) - it's so long you cannot even see the end of it and for a while we were the only ones there!

Now off for some more curry :-)
