Ko Mook - Charlie Beach:
Sunday the 8th of Nov:
Had breakfast at 7:30, checked my emails and extended my stay at the resort with one more night.
Had to do some laundry and found a nearby bungalow where I handed in my laundry. The guy at the bungalow was a bit too cheeky though, I almost left the bungalow to find somewhere else to get my laundry done. He looked at me from head to toe and then said the price and I could see he was talking about me to his two women colleagues with a grin. This is the only time I have felt uncomfortable in Thailand. I said that I would pay when I collected the clothes (cause I didn't want to pay upfront only to find out the day after that they had somehow lost my clothes).
Ohh well, I walked back to my room and had shower and got ready for a lazy day by the pool. After having spent a few hours by the pool I had lunch at the beach bar at the resort. Such a beautiful view of the nearby Islands (I could see Koh Kradan).
The evening was spent together with the German couple.
Monday the 9th of Nov:
Early breakfast and lazy day by the pool. Had to take advantage of having a pool :)
Once again I spent the evening with the German couple sharing stories of travelling and having a tasty dinner.
Tuesday the 10th of Nov:
10:00am
Today I'm leaving for the Island Koh Lipe. The estimated time of travel is 3 hours by ferry from Koh Mook to Koh Lipe. It will probably take a bit longer knowing the Thai time schedule.
...I was supposed to go to Koh Lipe at 12pm and all the passengers joining from Koh Mook sat in the longtail boat waiting for the ferry (from 11:45 to 12:30) and suddenly the longtail boat just turned around and went towards the shore. We were told that the ferry had had an accident and had to be fixed and it would take 30 mins before we could go (meaning 1 1/2 hour thai time). Later we found out that there was no accident as such but some technical issues and some smoke raising from the engine and we had to change ferries at Hat Yai pier.
3:00pm --> We should have arrived at Koh Lipe at around 3pm but it's 3pm now and we're still on the ferry and we probably won't arrive until 5-6 pm!
....it's 6:04 pm and I think I finally see Koh Lipe. It's getting darker and I hope there's a tuk tuk to help me get to my hostel. I had really hoped that we would have been here a bit earlier. Ooh well, off to the hostel and leave my luggage and then find some dinner!
