Island Photos

Amanda enjoying squid (one of many) at a BBQ buffet restaurant where you grill your own meat and make soup in the mote of the grill.
Colin and our adventure seeking Austrian friend on Hat Ton Sai.

Hat Ton Sai, Krabi, where all the hardcore rock climbers hang out.

Colin playing spiderman in Railay Beach, Krabi. Look at those calves!

Rainy yet beautiful Ao Nang, Krabi in the midst of a three day monsoon.

Famous James Bond Island, one of the many karst formations in the Andaman Sea.

After our propeller flew off, we were ferried into this amazing Muslim fishing village all on stilts over the open Adaman sea.

Our longtail boat trip for Phang Na through mangrove forests and caves with the elder Mr. Kean at the helm.

Just a sample of the bizzare statues at the Heaven and Hell cave, which also doubles as a Buddhist altar.

One of our Gibbon friends in Rehab. We visited to the Gibbon Rehabilitation Center on Phuket where they reintroduce Gibbons that have been kept in captivity to the rainforest there. We also hiked to a beautiful waterfall there.

Colin relaxing in the hammock of our beachside bungalow in the small fishing village of Chalaklum, Ko Phangan.

A trek up and over one of the highest peaks to secluded Bottle Beach rewarded us with beautiful views of the island.

A sweaty hike to our next destination, we opted out of the expensive taxi ride to Mae Haad, Ko Phangan. Thai people seriously think it's crazy to walk anywhere, but we're from the NW baby!

Poolside chairs in front of the beach, pretty swank, but we paid a bargain 200baht (6 bucks) to stay in one of the dingy bungalows, Ko Phangan.

One of the many beautiful sunsets we viewed during happy hour on the beach, Ko Tao.

A longtail boat in Black Diamond Bay, Ko Tao.


A madman on a motorbike about to take us on the worst dirt roads imaginable.

A typical Thai market with dried seafood by the kilo.
