... a little extra and go with a recommended agency. After working out the next day's plans, I ran back to the hotel room to grab my camera. During our walk down the pier I had regretted not bringing my camera along and now I had less than an hour of daylight to take pictures of our only day that we planned to stay in Surat Thani. Along the way to the pier I noticed that there were lots of street vendors setting up for a night market, not just on the main night ...

... it--as I sometimes do when traveling--as I have a lot of coconut and plenty of rice and noodles and other yummy delectibles. I enjoy traveling somewhere that I can let my days be filled with choices of what morsels to sample. Thailand is particularly good at this at the markets where I can take a tit and a tat for about $.30 each. I have also seen some amazing sunrises and sunsets on my travels.

... I say. We finally agreed that we would take the not-so-seaside bungalow and I would stay in the poolside bungalow and be moved the next day to another 'sea-side' bungalow and then we would all potentially move to bungalows that actually had a sea view within the next few days.

It was so fun but it almost made me homesick!! We didn't think the bus would get too crowded, but then millions of Thai school kids got on. They had to sit 2 to a seat. One sat next to me and she was lovely... it was exciting because I got to use a ...

Yesterday morning at 8:00am, a man dressed in khaki driving an old rugged looking Land Rover picked us up from our hotel in Krabi and drove us north to the Khao Sok National Park for a two day jungle adventure with Siam Safari. Using the Earth Lodge as our "homebase", we spent the first day canoeing down a river and riding on the backs of elephants ...

... development or rice farming, seeing thousands of square kilometers being used for low intensity agriculture was shocking to me. After three hours, we arrived at the company's bus depot near Surrant Thani which was way out of town. Most of the passengers transfered to other buses to go to other locations. I met some Canadians who were also going by train so company called in a truck and we all piled in the back with a family (from Poland?) with our bags ...

... unnamable type of leafy green, a peice of fruit (usually mini bananas or green oranges) and tea. Everyone would have to be seated in order for the food reflection to be said and for the entire group to eat together, in silence. Food Reflection: With wise reflection, I eat this food. Not for play, not for intoxication. Not for fattening, not for beautification. Only to maintain this body. To keep it alive and healthy. To support the spirital (way of) life. Thus, I let go of ...

... lizards, and hornbills. The gibbons were ace, they were in a palm tree eating the fruuits, and climbing around and playing :o) So then if we hadnt had enough excitement, on the way back afterb lunch we stopped off for swimming in the lake adn some rock climbing :oD Kiam climbs like a monkey so went straight up and dived off the cliffs.
