Hi Friends!
Guess who's back from the Sea of Thailand, f.k.a. the Sea of Siam. (The name of Thailand used to be Siam). The beaches were simply incredible...and simply deserted. If you happen to be into swimming and laying on the beach, then this trip was for you. If you are adamently opposed to living in extremely close quarters with 5 men and 2 other women, then you should absolutely NOT rent a 42-foot yacht with 7 of your classmates, and then sail around islands in a tropical sea.
Our trip started off a bit rocky, however. First, our yacht wasn't ready yet. So we were forced to live in these cute little bungalows, which cost about $13. THEN, we lost the phone number of the van driver, and so we had no way to get to the nearby city. So we were once again forced to walk to a nearby upscale hotel/condo (one where you could go for 6 months without seeing anyone, because the people that own the condos live in Bangkok and vacation on the marina). Once at the hotel, we had to eat wonderfully delicious food at the yacht club. While lamenting over the necessity of eating at a yacht club, and staying in a bungalow because our yacht wasn't ready yet; I was interrupted by FIREWORKS!! What a great start to a lovely 4 day weekend.
I'm working on the pictures. It's late here, so I'll sign off for now. More about the weekend to follow...hopefully with graphics. Keep the comments coming, and don't forget to sign them! :)
