We saw blue-ringed angelfish, longfin bannerfish, Hong Kong butterfly fish, a titan triggerfish who got annoyed by our camera woman's close-ups and tried to nibble her, and also another blue spotted stingray. Puzzlingly I was ...

... fresh fruit, and granola parfaits! It was a part of our daily routine. <br><br>The day after the Full Moon, we mostly slept. We walked on the beach and ended up eating dinner at one of the aforementioned movie theater restaurants and watched The Notebook. After the movie, we got a Thai pancake at the stand near our hotel. I can't remember if I've described these yet but they are the most spectacular creation in the world and we first discovered them in Krabi. The ...

... will go further back from the shore and many of the shore side places are being redeveloped. The days of the beach shack are over and the beach chalets are now increasingly substantial places with aircon and price tickets to match. (Meanwhile, I&#8217;m staying in one of the older style of bungalow about 10m back from the beach; I don&#8217;t have aircon but it is only £5 a night).<br><br>However, the island&#8217;s infrastructure remains extremely poor and ...
