Have not had much chance to use the internet lately and so much time has passed. Hard to boil it all down to simple sentences. The trip has been wonderful and the Thai people are so beautiful and sweet....everywhere. From Kho Tao we went to Koh Phengan (different spellings of this on every map but south of Koh Tao). This is the famous place for the Full Moon all night beach parties. We were not there during the full moon but could get a good idea of the party atmoshpere that generally prevails there. It was a wonderful island to do beach running so I loved that part. We explored the interior on motorbike and saw alot that way. Afet that we went to Ko Lanta...more laid back. Less of the travelling backpacker set and more of the suitcase set (with small children). Again, nice running beach. Explored some caves in the interior and did lots of sightseeing on the motorbike again. Passed and elephant on the road which was a first!
we are now on Ko Phi Phi. A small island but crammed with folks who want to snorkel and dive. We enjoyed incredible snorkling today...great variety of fish and unusual coral. Tomorrow we will dive. After that we are debating the next step. Need to see some of the North but would like to do more ocean before we leave here. This island was really hard hit by the tsuanmi and has recovered quite well. I try to imagine what it must have been like to experience that...what terror. 1000s were killed. No sadness here tho...the people must be grateful and living each day to the fullest....not a bad idea!
