Our dear friend Bill, Therese and Peter take a plunge in the blue waters of the Gulf of Thailand.
|
We were grateful to spend several days at Bill's friends, Boon, farm.
|
This is how natural rubber is harvested.
|
A lonely road through Boon's farm.
|
Boon demonstrates of Paul how rubber is pressed and dried to prepare for shipment to the factory
|
Bill, Peter and Paul have a blast in a nearby waterfall.
|
Therese, Peter and Paul maneuver around the thundrous waterfall

Boon, Peter and Paul relax on our last day on his farm. Thanks Boon!

Arriving at East Railay Beach outside of Krabi.

A view from the pool at our hotel on East Railay Beach
|
The beautiful Prang Nang beach may well be the most spectacular looking beach I have seen.
|
This limestone monolith dominates this tranquil bay near Railay.
|
Railay is internationally known as a rock climbing mecca
|
Peter and Therese explore the caverns near Phrang Nang beach
|
The southern area of Koh Lanta
|
Fishing off the point just after sunset with Koh Roc in the background
|
Therese does some morning journaling on the quiet beaches of Koh Lanta
|
The morning sun breaks the horizon on Koh Samet island.
|
Koh Samet, only 3 hours from Bangkok, is a great place for blue water and white beaches. However, Samet can be crowded.
|
This isolated cove about 2 kilometes from the main village provides an excellent venue to relax without the crowds.
|
Koh Samet is also a great place to do some beach hiking. I discovered this remote little cove about 4 kilos into my hike.
|
This is a great place to have morning coffee and reflect on our journeys.
|
Therese gets some needed sleep after the rigors of overland travel, while Paul catches up on his homework.
|
Check this out! This is where you are served dinner each night.
|
As the sun begins to set I reflect back on our 4 days at Koh Samet.. Basically, I had a difficult time leaving these 2 chairs.
