Map of Thailand.

Summing it all up.
 

Dec 9, snorkeling and barbeque
The pictures below are thumbnails, meaning they are small copies of the real thing. You just click on the thumbnails, and you get the full picture in a separate window. 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.

The helmsman of the long tail looking after us guests coming safely on board.

The intricate machinery of the long tail boat.

The long tail at full trottle.

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.  

The next day, Wednesday December 10th , it was time for not much. Just loafing around and trying to get the Internet to work.
