8. R&R in Khao Lak,Thailand

*. R and R in Khao Lak, Thailand

A flight to Bangkok, an overnight stay at the airport hotel and then another flight to Phuket and an hour's drive to the resort at Khao Lak for our 5 days of relaxation and we hoped snorkelling. Sadly, the latter didn't happen as the sea and wind conditions were poor but we got out exploring the locality on the hotel bikes and a hired scooter.





waterfall pool complete with nibbling "spa " fish.
We were also there for the annual Festival of Light, which we had enjoyed in Luang Prabang in Laos. Not quite on the same scale here but a really good mix of the locals and tourists enjoying making or buying the little craft to float down the river with their wishes for the year.



And where are the bird photos ? We saw virtually none in Myanmar, probably because in the rural areas, like the monkeys, they have been eaten.We did at last see these outside Khao Lak.
