Island Hopping

Sorry about the delay but we have had a slight problem. Our unbreakable camera that can go underwater, dropped from space & taken to sub degree temperatures has guess what? BROKEN Ahhhhhhh!! but don't despair thank god for our mobile phones!!

After the festivities of Christmas and New Year we decided to get out and about and do some island hopping. First stop Ko Jam ( mega quiet) , then to Phi Phi for some snorkeling (wow amazing place) Krabi (beautiful) and now we are in Koh Samui. Are last stop is Ko Pha-Ngan before we make are way down under!!
Ko Jam , its so untouched you have to be brought ashore by longtail boat.


Here is our bungalow right in the beach.


This is our view from our balcony - not bad hey?


Here is my effort at snorkeling very funny!!


The beaches are the best we have seen

Mike has been soaking up the sunshine!!


Railey the most picturesque place we have been - stunning


A local cooks corn on the Cob on the beach (yummy)


Everyday amazing sunsets

After a wicked New Year we have decided to stay in Thailand until the end of January, we are going to move to another island tomorrow , Koh Jam(smaller than Lanta, the electric is run by generator- should be fun!)
