MORE PICS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE I started early at about 6:40 from Surat Thani, because I had another 75 km to go and did not want to drive to much in the midday heat. The first 30 km led me along 401 and 4153, highways with some times up to 8 lanes. At Nong Sai I turned to 4247 which was a brilliant road most of the time – almost new, small enough but not too small. However I already felt my legs getting heavy and was worried that yesterday was still weakening me. So I intended to make my first break and first food of the day (so far it had only been water, coke and Gatorade) but I did not allow myself to break so soon and wanted to reach 50 ... read more

Thank you Khun Jantima (Ma'am) for a wonderful stay at Talkoo Beach Resort. You made me feel welcome and almost at home. Please give water to the cats...

Sorry, I won't give you the exact Location. It is a fantastic mix of great sand and impressive rocks (no sharp edges) which is hard to catch in a Foto. Meanwhile the weather has developed into perfect sunny days and the water gets clearer every week since there is no rain and less waves. However, the beach was even greater with waves. Then there was a pool in the middle of the rocks where you can sit (more or less) protected with the waves crashing all around you. I hope to post pics of it sometime later. As always the pics are at the bottom of the page. Enjoy!!!... read more

The pink dolphins are a big attraction here as there are not many (attractions - but also dolphins). A tour is usually 1200 Baht but it includes a lunch and pickup at the Resort. We however went to one of the launching Points of the tours and the german Restaurant guy helped us. A boat for 2h +- was 1000 Baht and we shared with two Thai People. We saw the famouse Pancake-rock and a temple and also pink dolphins. The older they are the pinker the get we were told. I could not take pics of them, the sightings were always just a second or so.

Sorry, this blog entry will be German only. But there are MANY pics at the bottom of the page. So, mal in Deutsch. Ich habe heute eine unglaublich schöne Fahrradtour hinter mir - 62km durch immer wechselnde Landschaften - Strände, Wälder, Wasser. Fühlte mich wie im Herr der Ringe teilweise, bin hin und weg. Ich finde es klasse so lange an einem Ort zu bleiben - ich entdecke mehr und mehr die Details und immer wieder Neues und noch Schöneres. Vor Kurzem habe ich den schönsten Strand entdeckt, den ich je gesehen habe und davon gibt es auch bald Videos und Fotos. Gesundheitlich geht es mir immer besser, ich nehme ab und ja - die Haare sind ab. Und im Nachhinein bin ich darüber einfach nur happy. Auch dazu bald mehr Bilder. Heute habe ich deutsches ... read more
