... round to make it. She was crazy, and kind of like an amplified version of most Thai people we have met. Very friendly, with a crazy smile. She was all hugs and kisses and big welcoming smiles just because we were staying at her nieces place. It was over breakfast that we found out that there was a national party that night. The Loy Krathong Festival is one of the most picturesque festivals of Thailand. It happens once a year, on a full ...

... Phi Phi. Simon and I <br>both had a go at jumping through a ring of fire. Might I add that I was the bravest and <br>decided to give it a go, it was only on completion of my task that my husband decided he <br>couldn't be outdone.<br> That brings me nicely onto today. After sleeping in past 12 we were both resigned to the <br>fact that we were going to spend the day on the beach as most boats tours etc would have <br>left ...

... given fruit and tea at a table overlooking the farm. Tom came and joined us with a guy there who had a pet monkey on a chained leash. All of us were joking around, with Tom joking that the guy with the monkey as being his "boyfriend." At this point of our trip I realized how different Thailand is than any other society in the Western world. In Thailand, people are free to express their sexuality without being discriminated against. It's a normal thing to see ladyboys on the street and ...

... about. Deb questioned if I had imagined the whole thing, but I promise you that even MY sick and twisted imagination couldn't have created those blood-suckers. So yeah, no spiders. If anyone knows where the spiders have gone, let me know. Please don't encourage them to come back, but please let me know. No idea what's next as Deb and I seem to be floating from minute to minute right now just soaking up what is ...

... sharks. After getting kitted up again we set of on our dive and pretty much instantly encountered our first black tipped reef shark. They were only about a metre and a half long and were quite shy - staying a fair distance away. They are by far the biggest things we have seen but they weren't scary at all. At one point we saw a group of about five of six glide by together. They were beautiful. Other than the rest of the ...

... Einheiten koennen schliesslich auch nebenbei waehrend der Tauchgaenge geuebt werden. An diesem Tag stehen zwei Tauchgaenge a 50 Minuten bis 12 meter Tiefe auf dem Programm. Sofort nach dem Abtauchen offenbart sich sie unglaubliche Unterwasserwelt Ko Phi Phi s. Unglaubliche Korallenriffe und Unterwasserpflanzen mit bis zu 2 Meter grossen Blaettern. Man schwebt nahezu schwerelos inmitten von Fischschwaermen mit bunten Aquariumfischen...tausende...echt ...

... next one over is deserted and we sit and enjoy the solitude before heading to the fnal cove. Here is a tiny strip of sand an alcove which widens into a sand covered area almost completely hidden from everything, very peaceful indeed. Paddling around the last headland before heading back we see a bunch of english people jumping from 30ft rocks into the sea, something they have paid quite a bit of cash to be able to do. We sit, rather smug, in our cheap kayak ...

... a few casualties asleep or staggering around on it! <br><br>Although fair play to the authorities, they had already nearly finished the "clean-up" job, which was very impressive... <br><br>Here's a photo of the full moon beach (Haad Rin) from the bar where we started last night, at the right end of the beach: <br><br> <br><br>We grabbed some breakfast, even had some sandwiches made for lunch which was alarmingly organised for us, and then went ...
