Photos

A man taking a water buffalo for a walk ion the beach..
..or was it the other way around?
Just another random sight in Thailand. Think there was a Water Buffalo fighting place nearby.

Mike gets up on his board, Chaweng Beach, Koh Samui
Mike spent two hours on his board and I finally managed to get a photo of him up on his board. At one point he looked down to see a cloud of jelly fish washing over the board, luckily they missed him!

While the boys play..
...the girls relax. Mike surfed and I sunbathed and drank beer! The Thais had an ingenious solution to keep my jug of beer cool!

Cocktails on the beach in Bophut, Koh Samui
Best cocktails of the holiday, served in fishbowl-like glasses!

Hobiecat sailing, Maenam, Koh Samui
You can take a boy away from his boat for only so long!
We had a lovely couple of hours sailing up and down Maenam beach (5km of sand) on this little catamaran.

Long Beach, Koh Lanta
We arrived in Koh Lanta after a hellish 12.5hr journey by land and sea.
It was worth it though and as good as I remember. Chilling on the beach by day and partying by night. Met some awesome people too.

Beach bar, Koh Lanta
I love the ramshackle little beach bars you find all over Thailand.

Sunset in Koh Lanta
Sundowners on the beach

Tsunami warning signs, Koh Lanta Old Town
On Koh Phi Phi and Koh Lanta you can still see signs of the Tsunami. The government has made lots of official escape routes on low lying areas in case there is a next time.

Moped Mike
I finally let Mike get a moped, he was excited, though the young boy in the photo behind him doesn't seem too impressed.
I made him go off for a long ride by himself before I dared go on the back!

Hungover chilling on Long Beach
I will sooooooo miss those fresh coconut, the ultimate hangover cure!

Boat to Koh Phi Phi
It was very crowded, not many people seemed keen to sit down below, including me! Luckily it was only a couple of hours from Koh Lanta

Long Beach, Koh Phi Phi
Mike was happy to see they also welcomed Welshman to Koh Phi Phi

Koh Phi Phi Long Beach Resort
We lucked out at £10 per night including this lovely pool with a view. Some days you just need a lazy day around the pool (or 4)

Koh Phi Phi View point
We climbed up to the viewpoint for sunset. Sadly it was a Muslim viewpoint, so no beers to be found. But on the plus side they had lovely decorations! (It also doubles as a Tsumani escape route)

Koh Phi Phi View point
It was worth the climb. (Mike pulling off the zebra stiped beach bag I think!)
Though unfortunately he wore his 'Mr Jihad' vest top, oooppss.

Koh Phi Phi View point
The view across the two bays of Koh Phi Phi. Spectacular.

Koh Phi Phi View point
It was busy at the top, luckily we were first to arrive and got a great spot.

Alfresco, rooftop cinema
After all that climbing we had a nice evening at Banana Bars rooftop cinema, eating yummy Mexican food. There was something terribly British about it. (Aside from the food)

Bamboo Island
We did a one day snorkeling trip around Phi Phi. First stop was our own beach, duh!!! (Best snorkeling on the island though)

Remind you of anyone (Monkey beach)
Red hair, likes bananas?
