Lay Trang Resort & Restaurant

... confused mozzies. Once we arrived in Chumphon station, we found our hostel easily. The room is pretty basic and I mean basic and had a share bathroom but the promise of hot water sold the room to me. The room was only 150BH which is less than 3 pound...bargain, cheapest room yet.

We had a walk round town and found a shopping mall, always great to find some A/C and window shop for a while. They also had a KFC, now as a ...

... that sell O-top products. I bought beautiful postcards and sea-elephant key ring made from that holy wood. The head of the management arranged bathroom for us to take a shower before getting on the train. It was an old hotel in the back of our hotel last night. I could see it from the balcony of my friend’s room. We just said last nigh that this hotel looked like the ghost hotel in the movie. The room was quite old with the broken window and the bathroom was ...

... motorbike taxi driver came over looking very serious. All 5 foot 90 pound nothing of him but he had VERY dark sunglasses on. Oooooo! Scaaaarrrryyyy! Seriously, whatever buddy. As Deb and I were having our own conversation, he was going on and on and on about who knows what and because he just couldn't remove those superhero sunglasses, we couldn't really tell if he was talking to us or not. So we waited. The Thais already in the boat did ...

... t s bizarre enough, groups of 6 and 8 little boys would gather in a pod - sitting on the ground, one would give a ticket and one of the dancers would come and do the very same sexual dance to the little boys - grinding up against them and rubbing themselves against the 6 and 8 year olds. Even some little traditionally dressed girls bought themselves a dance. We tried to desexualize it all but could not. Between each song, a guy who obviously was running all ...

... were to find out that our only option of getting to Surat-Thani (for the ferry to Koh Tao) was by minibus. We try and avoid minibuses at all costs. As we have said in the past Martin does not fit into a minibus very well and least of all for a 4-5 hour journey. Thankfully the minibus turned out to be a very modern big one not like the type resembling an old VW Camper with a few seats bolted inside! The only problem is there is not much room for luggage least of all ...

... open bathroom (Balinese style) all for 700 baht a night. It was sheer heaven compared to the haunted bathroom! The first thing we did was put up the hammock. Ahhhhh it was fabulous. We can watch the world go by under the shade of our front porch. We have a fantastic view of the azure blue see with the odd long tail boat 'pop popping' past. We also have the best snorkelling coral area of all the island right off our beach front too ...

... den dorazili az na zapadni pobrezi do Hat Yao. Hat Yao je prtava vesnicka s jednou asfaltkou a pouze nekolika bungalovy pro turisty, kterych tu mimochodem bylo mnohem mene nez toulavych psu. V jedne z chatrci jsme se ubytovali, sice ponekud primitivni, ale more jsme meli hned 3m od dveri. Hat Yao je utapnute mezi morem a vapencovymi skalami, hned za plazi se tyci vysoke skaly porostle bujnou zeleni a zapad slunce je tu uchvatny. Na vychod od vesnice je les mangrovniku (vazne ...

... re head, wondering how someone can live this way. But the longer we stayed here, the more we began to see that just because the lifestyle is different over here, it doesn't make it worse. We in the west tend to think we have it all, that our lives are perfect, that we are superior in our ways. Why is it then that the people here (not all, there is nowhere in the world where EVERYONE is happy) are, as a whole, happier than us, even with much ...
