Thailand!

From London we flew to Bangkok to meet Jacqueline and the sunshine! We spent New Years Eve in Krabi, here's John and Jacqueline getting some tasty snacks at the night market.

Big Cave! Apparently some movie was filmed there. What a story...

Cruising around in the mangroves on a long-tail boat.

There were some beautiful kingfishers in the mangroves. They had bright blue under their wings.

The giant crab got us! The only thing I don't understand is why it left that guy alone.

From Krabi we took the ferry out to Koh Lanta, one of the quieter islands south of Koh Phi Phi. We stayed in a nice two bedroom bungalow 100 metres from the beach for 5 nights of relaxation and fun. There will actually be some more photos of this stage once we get the film developed from our underwater camera, but who even knows how to get film developed anymore?

This is our beach, it was amazing! The water was the perfect temperature, it wasn't crowded at all, and there were nice little restaurants and bars all along the beach.

Yummy cocktails in coconuts! We sat at one of the beach bars each night and played scrabble or cards and watched the sunset.

Mangrove monkeys! We fed them some delicious pineapples.

This was the motor of the long-tail boat that took us out to go sea-kayaking.

A storm brewing...

After our lazy days at the beach we headed back north for some lazy days in the jungle! We went to Kanchanaburi and stayed in lovely cottages on the hill beside the River Kwai with Ben and Kym.

Eating delicious coconut sticky rice on our way to the waterfalls.

We walked along the Hellfire Pass section of the Burma-Thai railway.
