Koh Phangnan

Well, its been 5 days and what have i been doing tyhat has meant no blog?
Well, once i get myself together enough to remember camera, and downlad cord you will see!
I arrived in Thurat sani from Bangkokon a doubledecker bus that stopped regularly but without reason, ie it would be 2 amm in the morning and the driver would just disappear, do you
a) get off the bus to use the "picnic bathroom " option because onboard is scary as!
b) get off and look for a food stall because your starving and there is no food on board?
c) go nowhere because thisis the best location for either your backpack or wallet to go walkabouts.

It was a long trip! I arrived at about 7.30am at this little port (pic to come)
we waited and watched the Thai chickens fighting, the the catermaran appeared, we charged down a long rickety pier and sat down just as the skies opened up!
I have never seen rain like the kind ive seen here, although as im going north soon and monsoon is coming im guessing this will not be the worst i will encouter this trip! doh!
We stopped first at Ko Tao which is a small Island with amazing diving, i may go back there later in the year.

We then moved onto the second Island where i got off.
It was raining incredibly hard, everyone else seemed to have a booking at a bungaloo or resort but did i?!
NO
I just jumped on the nearest 4x4 that was heading towards Haad Yao ( a small bay that you will see is quite beautiful) and off we went
i had no idea if it had two places to stay or 22 didnt know if it was booked up or not. Lets just say it was anticipation!
Got dropped off at The Haad Yao (the driver guessed that was where i was staying) walked down a gravel path towards one of the most scenic beaches ive ever seen., my bungaloo is looking out on the sea, yes its not right o the water but i can handle the 15 foot walk :-)
The beach has beautiful white sand and curves away from me into a perfect arc.
