... is a table set up with information on the tsunami and its affects on the nearby areas as well. They sell a magazine with all kinds of photos that are mostly taken from tourists in the affected countries. It's just unbelievable to see all the photos, especially of places we have visited recently. The proceeds from the purchase of the magazine to go tsunami relief efforts. Live Aboard with Loma Dive- We did a ton of research on what company to ...

... Islands and reputed to be one of the Top 10 dive sites in the world, being keen divers we just have to take a look. Walking up and down the main road of Khao Lak there are many dive operators offering live aboards. Blimey they are not cheap either. 4 day/3 night trips with 14 dives appear to be the norm here. This we feel is just too much. We know ourselves well enough now that 4 dives in one day over a period of 4 ...

... with the rain fading to dusky purple-pink sunsets that casts a quixotic glow upon the evening. Besides its beach Khao Lak has other attractions; Laem Pakarang or the Coral Cape is a pine tree draped beach. Through the ages the Andaman currents have deposited mountains of white coral along this shore, the beach has a long shallow ledge that is ideal for safe bathing. Khao Lak itself forms part of the Khao Lak ...

... At least there are waves to body surf, none today, even though tide's receding slowly. Im thinknig what to do but drawing a blank and hesitant to make another big purchase of another tour. I'd like to go snorkelling, or at least go to one of the islands and see the whitish sands, pretty blue water, something different than CA. I'm grateful, as always, for home, but a little tired of spending money and not knowing theb est way to go about things. Not to say Im ...

... the place looked very romantic, and the serried ranks of liveried staff couldn't have done more to make the day perfect. Then it was time for June, accompanied by Emily &amp; Olivia to make her entrance - not as is customary, to the strains of 'Here comes the Bride', but to the wedding march from Lohengrin. June looked absolutely stunning [this is DWP's description] in [this is Aileen's description, verbatim] a long browny/grey and white printed ...

... patches of ground there was very little to grab hold of to prevent the sliding becoming out of control and all of us had some scary moments where someone was having to haul us back to safety (again my walking pole saved me - pleased I brought it!). An hour later we made it to the river bed. I was bruised, covered in mud and bitten by various red ants who hadn't been best pleased by a shrieking Farang sliding through their nests ... I guess the ...

... days the prices of everything goes up! The things I have seen, heard and smelled have been amazing! I think nearly all the girls here are suitable as fashion models. Great looking people really. Very few fatties like me, and in fact they find it fun to make fun of me. I have had my belly rubbed so many times, and my man breasts squeezed a good few times as well. They laugh and say something in Thai ...

Yesterday myself and 4 others visited the Elephant Sanctuary near Lampang. It was fantastic - we had an opportunity to feed the elephants and also saw how they made paper from the dung. Donna and Roger had a go which involved dissolving a large ball of bleached dung in a tray of water. Just hope they scrubbed under their nails before they had lunch! Today we had a long drive to Si Satchanalai and ...

After a well deserved good nights sleep I woke fresh and ready to attack Sukhotai. Sadly there wzsn't really that much to attack. We had already decided to tackle the major historical park the following morning at sunrise, thinking that there waould be plenty for us to see in New Sukhotai for one day. How wrong we were. We managed to get our pictures put onto CD, and the ...
