... around, we had this amazing beach with a back drop of green hills and mountains to ourselves... Stop 2 was 'Leum Sala' Beach where we had some delicious food and took in the breathtaking beach and cliff views before we hopped into a small motorised boat to take us around the shore and to the 'Phaya Nakam' Caves. A 430metre climb of very steep steps (if you can call them steps!).. half way to the top we stopped to take in the stunning views (and catch a ...

... Info company. In the end, she said it costs only several hundreds, not a thousand. Dreamy Ferry Ride The sun almost set when we got into the boat. There were orange-purple skies with a glimpse of bluish grey. The night was coming and we were happy that we chose this transportation not the 'sleeping cargo boat' that Ae suggested. That sleeping boat can be rather dangerous because of the monsoon since it often rains during the ...

It began the usual way arriving at the port at 11.30 for a 12.30 ferry that left at 2.00. You come to expect it, you get used to it. Then it was "Get on the boat" and off we sailed. The bay was calm. We took our usual position on the top deck, legs hanging over the side, and thought no more of it as we moved out to sea. The next two hours can be classified as 'interesting'.

The sand was pristine and a walk on the beach was very refreshing.Back in the hotel, after a breakfast of the lovely tropical fruits, freshly baked bread and juice, we headed for the beach to admire the nature in all its glory.The market at Aonang Beach is a typical beachside market strewn with all kinds of ...

... it much, he let it be known that he supported Chelsea and I supported Man-U. In good fun he offered up a 100 Baht bet - about $3 - but I wasn't going to be there for the match so I declined). Soon after I arrived, the real bus showed up and our luggage was stored below deck and we all were escorted to the upper deck. I didn't really like being surrounded by all these "backpackers" - all of whom were carbon copies of each other with their ...

... several buckets of Vodka and Red Bull and headed down to Soi Green Mango which is a street full of busy bars with a huge outdoor nightclub club at the end. It was fab and the night was topped off as we headed back to try and hail a cab at about 2am and we saw a guy sat outside a 7/11 store surrounded by tourists and with a novel twist to traditional begging.
