Back to start.
The breakfast at the hotel is just great. Martin tried to buy
some local SIM-card, but was unsuccessful in doing so. Then it was time for a
trip with the long tail boats and an evening barbeque. A lovely trip with a nice
athmosphere, but on the expensive side THB 2800,- including park fees. (Coral
reefs are classed as park.)

To the left, the long tail boats lined up waiting for
business. After the Tsunami in 2006, they have built Tsunami
waring towers along the seafront. |
|
|
And they have the more traditional beach watch tower, look
after their swimming guests. Martin sitting on the stairs
waiting for the trip to start. |

First, we waded out to a waiting long tail that took us out
to the mother ship some few hundred meters out on the anchorage.

board. |

Maria from Kon-Tiki
Thailand. Not in a good mood here. The mother ship
waiting us. Could take up to 40 people and we were only 13, leaving plenty
of space to each of us. |
|
|
The rear end of the mother ship. Martin with
a Finnish couple, Anja and Tapski from the middle of Finland. Tapski was not
used to the sea and got sick. |
|
|
Typical, nice healthy Thai snacks, bananas.
Martin getting a tan. |
|
|
Martin under the Thai flag. Martin's fancy
rocks. He has taken picture of these last time he was here in March. |
|
|
Martin and Anja share a joke. Finns aren't very good at
languages, but they speak some English. They used to speak Swedish, but that
is things of the past. Another of Martin favorite rocks
straight up from the sea. |
|
|
These pale ones impresses. How are they made? One day Martin
will find out. A Swedish lady with her fancy party hat on.
Martin has never seen anything like it. |
|
|
The Captain making the barbeque ready. Nice beef and chicken
on spits. With a lot of Thai greener and fruit mixed into it.
The stern of the ship, flying the Thai flag proudly in the wind. Same colors
as the Norwegian ones. |

Martin with the Swedish couple
Maud and Astor in the
background. Very pleasant Swedes. Martin relaxing after a 40min x 2
snorkeling trip. Maud is working for the seeing impaired and loves gadgets.
All 13 plus the guides from Kon-Tiki. |

More of the same. The ladies in red are on the left hand
side, Maria smiling and to the right, Smoking Maria. The
glowing clouds after the sun has set. |

The mans head in the setting sun. The Thai
flag towards the background of the setting sun. |

Martin's favorite rock in a different light settings. Then
it was time for getting back to bed and fix the pictures for the web. |
