Way down south...

In less than 3 hours I will be on a bus headed out of Khon Kaen. For the next two weeks Koreana and I will be island hopping down south. We have vacation because the silk fair is in town, so we are getting out!

First we will take an overnight bus to Bangkok where we will catch a plane to Phuket. We will spend one night in Phuket before going to the east coast of Thailand, on the Gulf of Thailand. We are planning to go to Koh Samui, Koh Phangan and Koh Tao. The photo is one I found on the internet from Koh Samui. We don't have definite plans on any of the islands, but we want to explore as much as possible. Koh Samui is known for its very inexpensive snorkeling and scuba diving, so we will definitely be taking advantage of that! We would also like to see Ang Thong Marine National Park. This park is made of 40 small islands and is where the movie The Beach was filmed.

We plan to hike, ride motorbikes, swim, read, explore and most likely, get lost. It is hard to plan much in advance because of the lack of information available on the internet. While we can find places to stay and things to do, it is hard to find schedules, prices and other important information. Mai pen rai!

These next two weeks will be interesting. I will try to keep you updated as often as possible and to not get too many freckles.

Talk to you soon with photos of my own!
