… “babe, can you pass me the light”… I oblige, still sleeping…“Ahhh! I knew it! That thing crawled down my side and my whole leg! I knew it!”… Now I’m awake. Staring, with one sleepy-eye, at a cockroach that Kels is shining the headlamp on that is trapped INSIDE our mosquito net that is supposed to keep the bugs OUT of our bed! Kels is freaked, and rightfully so - cockroaches are disgusting - so I jump into action… I bolt through the overlapping gap in our apparently malfunctioning bug net and turn on the one low-watt light in our bamboo bungalow. I first look at my paperback sitting on the night table, but squishing that bastard would leave a big mess in the bed, and I also remember something about squishing cockroaches releases something like ... read more

I took a speed boat 4 islands tour. We first went snorkeling off of these 2 uninhabited islands. It was first class. Saw a bunch of coral and tropical fish. Even saw a moray eel. Then we stopped at this island - Ko Kradan - for lunch. Wow, just wow. The place is just so beautiful. There are no words that can do it justice. It's a national park, with amazing beaches, blue waters and fantastic scenery. The beaches are sheltered by evergreens! Evergreens in the tropics! The island is surrounded by other islands, so the scenery is beautiful. Just check out the pictures. We had a picnic lunch right there on the beach. Then after lunch, we went to another island - Ko Muk. This island is known for it's emerald cave. You jump off ... read more

Vi har været på en ø. Der var en stor tuk-tuk der kørte os til hotellet. På øen badede vi hver dag og vandet var varmt. På hotellet boede en hun abe, som godt kunne li drenge og mænd men ikke piger og damer. Man kunne ikke gå på wc for aben. Aben greb fat i mit ben når jeg skulle på wc. Der var en kat den var glad for. ... read more

We leave Koh Lipe the way we came - via a longtail boat to the ferry. Its then a 4 hour ferry boat (changing boats once) to Koh Mook. We get the longtail to shore and hump our very heavy bags up a near deserted beach. We walk towards reception looking out for Karen & Wayne, but completely missing them as they were hiding behind hats - which should have been so obvious !! Just as we are checking in they creep up behind us and give us a great surprise. Much hugs and kisses later we dump our bags in the room and settle down to Changs (the local strong beer) to talk about everything that has been happening. Eventually we decide a bit of laying on the beach is in order, while Bill visits ... read more

I was more than ready to move on, so was happy to see the speedboat pulling up to the beach for us at 8.30am. We thought we were joining a tour group for the lift, but it turned out that it was purely a transfer boat to different islands and resorts. I was pleased we got on when we did as we had our pick of seats, a few minutes later the boat was packed out and a few people had to sit at the back where they got drenched. I felt excited when we finally pulled up at the Sivalai Beach Resort on Ko Mook. I recognised it from the website pictures immediately and this time they didn’t lie. The boat pulled in to the whitest, softest sand I’d seen in a very long time ... read more
