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.

    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 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.  |

    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. |
