It's Beachin'



The view from the pool onto the beach at Yah Hao on Ko Phang Ngan at sunset.
A desolate beach on the other side of the world (shortly after 6 a.m.).





We went from the jungles and mountains in the North to the warm sunny beaches along the gulf coast in the South. Enjoy the photos from our stops at Ko Phi Phi, Krabi, and finally to Ko Phang Ngang- more famous for its full moon parties than for the beaches, but we found a nice quiet stretch to rest our weary traveling selves.

Hat Yao is the little town we ended up crashing on for two whole glorious days. Our biggest dilemma is whether or not to lounge by the pool or ten paces away on the beach. Right now we're trying to figure out if we want beer or cocktails. Life is rough.

The beach sports blue-green water perfect for swimming and snorkeling given the promontory on the east that protects us from ocean waves. The sandy and desolate beach has very white sand and bath temperature water. you can walk out for at least 100 yards and still be only waist deep in water. It's, to put it simply, perfect. Like in the Corona commercials. Ahem.
