Khao Lak Resort Phangnga

A few months ago the Thai government decided that travellers crossing the border by land would get only 15 days (used to be 30) in Thailand, but you can go to an embassy and get a longer visa for free. I was waiting for the embassy in Kota Bharu to open. In Kota Bharu the weekend is Friday and Saturday so on Sunday I wandered over to the embassy only to find it was closed ...

... Just what the doctor ordered! Yes the Chocolate Mansion has so many different flavour and combinations that seem very weird to put together but actually work quite well! Samples are coming home!! The free tasting session got us hooked! We then headed for an outdoor food hall where there are almost too many choices! You pick a table and then walk around all of the food stalls. I had some stir fried pork but the weirdest ...

... of the crowds for most of the time, except for our canoe tour of Hong Island and the visit in the National Park area, including the famous James Bond island and Leaning Rock. We had a brief recess for swimming and resting in a small lonely beach and just when it was about to start raining, we found a shelter in a restaurant at Ko Panyi. The place is incredibly beautiful, but I doubt one can really appreciate its charm if loaded on a big tourist boat with ...

... sida strax söd** om gränsen till Thailand, för 99 ringhit. Det motsvarar ungefär 200 svenska kronor. Dock beslutar vi oss nu för att ta tåget. Det sparar miljön, säg** min kära. Och så är det ju en upplevelse i sig! Att se landskapet. Folket. Vädrets skiftningar. Om man inte är väldigt, väldigt mycket för det enkla är det att rekommend**a en förstaklass biljett. Tro mig, I Malaysia är den inte mycket till första klass med våra mått mätt. Då resan till vår första anhalt b ...

... to eat...grilled, baked, any way you might want it. I think I eat about 2 dozen grilled to perfection scallops...I'm a little embarrassed to go back for more. There are a multitude of desserts...tiramisu, flan, fruits, cheesecakes, lots of chocolate. After the meal all I can imagine doing is heading outside the door to sit by the side of the pool and digest. It's really hot out...this luxurious place is right on the ocean...what more can you ask ...

... On arrival we were greeted by our guide made our way to the "elephant platform" which was steps to a platform from which we could climb onto the elephant's back. Henry and I were tied in with rope to a seat and off we went. After 5 minutes of ambling into the jungle I was really glad that we booked the shortest trek possible. It's soooo uncomfortable on top of an elephant! You're jerked and bumped around whilst trying to stay upright and interested in ...

... chance to go snorkeling so I chose to spend the time at the beach. Powdery sand with flecks of mica made the beach sparkle. I rented a double chaise lounge with a large umbrella. Vendors strolled by selling trinkets, food, sodas or offering to give you a massage. Most of the (topless) tourists were Europeans escaping their cold winters. Two hrs. went by very fast. There were no signs of the devastating Tsunami here. The ...

... a 5 minute span, I counted 12 different colors. Each color represents a company, from what I was told. Crazyness! Checked in at the airport with no problems. Flew with a company I had never heard of before...Nok Airlines. It was kinda cute...their planes have a bird beak of some sort painted on the nose. Is it supposed to be comforting? Flying inside an airplane made to look like a bird? I'm not sure. Got to Phuket around 10:30 AM and was about to grab the ...
