I am now in the Gulf of Thailand at a sweet little island called Ko Tao. It is more laid back and reasonably priced here with palm tree covered mountains sliding down into huge bolder strewn 'beaches'. I found a charming bungalow that overlooks the gulf. The view is breathtaking and calming, I'm very peaceful here. The bathroom is shared and the layout it is rustic, I have spent a lot of time watching the sea and have been sleeping very well hearing the waves crash against the rocky beach. The price is $8.50 per night which is double what I was paying in Chiang Mai but worth it. The terrace where I have breakfast has a magnificint view of the island. I went snorkeling today and saw many wonderful corals and fish, for me, paradise.
You have to be the luckiest person I know. And it's a great feeling knowing I'm related to you. What a beautiful piece of the world you are experiencing!
ReplyDeleteI'm relishing these peeks of your trip, I can only imagine what it's like for you. Love you!
Love you too! And thanks so much for your encouragement. Travel is ups and downs and Ko Tao has been a way, way up :)
ReplyDeleteHi Karen, I'm just wondering if I can pull on your heartstrings a bit to ask you to come visit us before June when Scot and the boys will be back in the states. I know Scot would really like to see you right now. We could meet you somewhere in Malaysia and drive you back into Singapore, even if it's just for a long weekend. Let us know...
ReplyDeleteScot just called to say you are coming to SG the first week in June! Woo hoo!
ReplyDeleteYes, I am taking a course now that will end the end of May so I will see you the first week of June! I am very much looking forward to it.
