First things first I guess...we got our tickets, no extra hassle or guilt trips. We also got a (very fast) trip to the airport as planned, and here we are in Bangkok. Only two things have changed since our last visit. The buses from the airport have been suspended/scrapped and the weather has turned very rainy in the evening/night. That aside, same same at Suk 11.
Today (Saturday) is market day - the Chatachuck weekend market to be precise. Thought to to be one of the largest markets in the world, with over 6,700 vendors, and over 200,000 people in attendance. For once I'm not dreading a trip to a market as this one is said to be something else. Alongside the ceramics, fabrics et al there are many many food stalls - some of the best in Thailand apparently. Great! Tonight we are meeting up with Alexandra, one of Jen's cousins, who has recently started a teaching job in Bangkok.
Now the bit you've all been waiting for - the photos. These go back to when we re-arrived back in Thailand - the island hopping really - through Krabi, Koh Lanta, Phi Phi over to the Similan's. There are some good (ish) fish pictures too, all, I promise, taken by us.
First up - arty photo of view coming into Krabi, and Jen in Krabi.
Boats in Krabi and a picture of the Bay.
Jen and sunset on Koh Lanta, and the motley crew - Jen, Dan, Helen and Rich - a night out in the rain on Phi Phi.
Jen & Helen, Dan on Phi Phi.
Sunset on the way back from Hin Daeng, and Jen in Scuba mode.
Dan entering a cave, and Jen on the boat.
Dan in scuba mode and sunset over the Similan's.
FISH TIME (and a turtle - not strictly speaking a fish - I know!!!)
Clown Anenome Fish - very cute, and a Titan Triggerfish.
Leopard Shark and a couple of the Turtle.
Manta Rays and Whale Sharks....these pictures definitely don't do them justice.
We do have some video files but don't have enough room to load them straight onto the blog. With my brother arriving tomorrow afternoon we are hopeful we can get them up for Monday or Tuesday - they are so much better than the photos!!!
