Hey, Aren't I doing well today, 2 postcards in one day! The reason? Abissmal weather! We weer supposed to go on a boat trip around Phi Phi Dom (where we're staying-the main island) and Phi Phi Lay (the smaller island, still mostly untouched-includes Maya Bay where the film the Beach was filmed, and monkey island close by where wild monkeys roam the shores being cheeky and fun). This and a whole lot more was supposed to be rounded off today with a view of the...

So, what happened next? Collapsed onto bed, oh lovely soft albeit with rock hard pillow, bed. Bliss! Had a little nap before our evening meeting with the group and a lucious shower, how amazinbg to feel clean again! That night, after arranging to fly down to Ko Samui via Bangkok and Surat Thai, think mentioned this before we ventured out to the Sunday night market by the city gate.
