... The Island is about 4km long and about 2km wide and has about a thousand residents most of whom live in the main village called Naban. Most of the people that live here also work and go to school on ...

... cards until late with too many Changs. Day 4, Up and pad thai breakfast again before getting on a pick up to Lonely beach. After a few bad huts we found a lush beachfront bungalow with aircon, hot water and a wicked view. So feeling not quite 100% we made the most of it and spent the afternoon reading and looking at the view. Treated ourselves to a fantastic meal at the mexican in the evening. Day 5, Up feeling very refreshed and walked ...

... but Saren isn't a fan. But she got right up there and conquered her fears. We did two courses and it took about three hours total to finish. Pictures will follow, as usual. I wish I had access to a high ropes course like this at all times in Chicago. It was so nice to do some rigorous excercise. We've been backpacking all over and that's work, but it's nothing compared to this ...

... a new stamp. We should be back by 4. No options, this has to be done. The fine is 500 Bhat per day, per person, for each day over the expiry stamp. We have breakfast and then go for a walk up to the road to find out what is on our corner and then walk into Lonely Beach area. It's quite the hike as we are in a hilly area. We have fun going into each of the stores and checking out the open area shops. Went for a walk way down a lane to a beach, but all we found was ...

... sentence she kicks over the Vodka that Christoph has just bought...."Oh sorry " she says falling short of offering to replace it...as she clutches her Vodka bucket to her chest ....Christoph looks forlornly at his drink now gone. The "just friends with her " guy in question comes over and stuffs a note down her top...she looks up with adoring puppy eyes and pulls it out to read to us. His email and phone number. "There" she says "he wouldn't have done ...

... centre's Wildlife Hospital. Dollar, Happy and Susi are in quarantine where they are healthy and active, with staff and volunteers working hard to provide them with the care they need. I feel really privileged to have been involved with this rescue and will continue to support the WFFT however possible, so that the chance for a better life here at the Wildlife Rescue Centre can be offered to more of Thailand's many wild animals in need of help.

... to die it was so hot!! We have so far had a very quiet laid back day at the beach. We go for a swim every 30 mins to cool off. Well, we try to. The water is so warm that you have no concept of where the water starts and the air stops as you walk in. This has got to be the warmest water I have ever been in! It certainly isn't refreshing! On the way back to our room, we 'crashed' the swimming pool at a resort on the beach! We felt ...

... dangerous attitude to partying!) I'd read about the full moon parties on Ko Pan Yang, but I figured this place would probably be much more subdued...how wrong I was!! All was well until the sun went down at about 6 pm, then the creatures of the night came out to drink buckets of booze and pound the pristine beach flat with their gyrations!! I would like to say at this point that we were there amidst the hot sweaty ...

... coconut palms with turquoise waters lapping at the edge of Tukata Bay it was an absolutely idyllic setting. The resort was constructed entirely of natural materials and decorated with local handicrafts to both blend with and enhance the beauty of its surroundings. The previous day when we had checked it out we had both intuitively known that we wanted to stay here and had immediately booked it for 2 nights. Our hut was 15 yards from the beach and with the exception of the fire ants ...
