Koh Kho Khao

Love doesn't make the world go round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.

Our friends Annette and Mike - who we met up with in Chiang Mai - told us about the island of Koh Kho Khao in southern Thailand, and how much they liked it. That was good enough for us, so we decided to head there as our last stop prior to heading back ...

... into a guesthouse again. But back to the day trip... We found the port and boarded a longtail boat, scooters and all, over to Koh Kho Kaoh. Found a lovely stretch of beach with a 'Lazy House' beach bar where we had lunch, and the guy there recommended ...

... off shore, that you could walk to during low tide, and then onup the coast to a nice beach. Ko Yao Noi was a lot of fun, and a nice change of pace from Ko Phi Phi. Up next is Koh Kho Khao - an island north of Phuket, and back on the west ...

... land, in the middle of a field left where it finally came to rest, lies a police boat that was patrolling the waters of Khao Lak when the Tsunami struck.  Its difficult to imagine the strength and volume of water that could bring a boat this size ...

... phuket airport on Flight FD 3975 Air Asia at 13:30 Chiang Mai to Phuket Arrival at 15:30 and hop on a bus to travel to Khao Lak about 90kms north of Phuket. We chose Khao Lak on account of 2 main reasons Number 1: Marriott has opened a Fancy Shmancy ...

... pitch black and haven't got a clue where we are going as we have just woken up! Check into the New Siam guesthouse, near Khao San Road (the backpackers area) and crash out. Do some shopping (t shirts, other clothes and shoes). Bump into Brian & ...

... getting in and out of the city every day then it's a great place to stay or else go to where all the other backpackers go. Khao San Road! It can be a bit much as it is quite overwhelming. It is most definitely gringo land, just like Paharganj in ...

... so the first half of the week was a bit of a write off from my perspective.  However, Jon really enjoyed it as we headed to Khao Sok National Park (he apologises for the lack of photos by the way - internet has been a bit pap in letting us upload but ...

... easily go back to check, but here's what our last couple of days have encompassed.  We did a day trip to Chieow Lake in Khao Sok National Park. We traveled in the back of a pick up truck with four not overly friendly Germans for over an hour on the ...

Our two days in Khao Sok National Park were very relaxing.  The restaurant at our resorty had amazing food and cheap prices.  To put things in perspective, a typical meal of Pad Thai (50 baht), a  papaya salad (50 baht) and soda (20 ...

... in the hotel bar and ended up chatting to a geordie lad who lived in Formby (Larkhill Lane) and then went out for drinks on Khao San Road. We asked a taxi driver if he knew anywhere we could drink late and ended up being taken to a brothel! It was all ...

... a look around the big shopping centre and then got an actual car taxi back to town via a tourist shop. Booked our bus ticket to Khao sok and went back to the hotel so we didn't spend anymore money. Put up the rest of our Australia photos and then went ...

... to say the least!! The amount we have travellled is immense. We moved on from Thong Ta Resort early yesterday and got a shuttle to Khao San Road in Bangkok.. The place is absolutely insane.. Big tourist hot spot and you have to be ready to be pounced on ...

... ' l'an dernier. Probablement que d'autres endroits sur l'île sont plus intéressants, ou qu'un peu comme dans le cas de Khao San Rd, à Bangkok, nous aurions été mieux servis à Patong en soirée, lorsque le quartier est en pleine ébulition (can you ...
