We didn't stay long on each island because there was bad weather on the Andaman sea (west) side islands, and everywhere felt like a tourist trap. We got a nice hotel in Ko Samui though, and the weather was pretty good as long as we got started early, so overall that was a success.
Approaching Ko Phi Phi by ferry from Phuket
Viewpoint on Phi Phi
Old style projected theatre with live band and voices. Didn't quite get the storyline, but everyone else seemed to enjoy it. Staying here too long made me miss the night ferry to Samui.
Pimped out rollling buddhist temple/monk blessing mobile in Surat Thani. Part of the end of monsoon festival.
Now Joseph has left for the north to Chiang Mai, and since I've already done that, I'm going to meet back up with Jessica (when she emails me back) and go to Cambodia to Siem Reap, where Angkor Wat is. Angkor Wat is an ancient city that has been preserved in overgrown jungle for centuries, and was recently rediscovered. We'll have to take a 6 hour bus from Bangkok, then get a visa at the border then another 6 hours by bus and we're there. We'll probably stay for 2-3 days then back to BKK, maybe do some final shopping and then back home!

Hi there...
U missed one of the best Island>>Kho Pha-ngan.It's close to Kho Samui, U can catch a boat like 1 and half hours to the island and it is really good one.But u need to ask the local people where to go..i mean,not the famous beaches for tourists..Ask them about where u recommene to me..something like that, U will see something else and u will like it.Next time, dont forget to go to Kho Pha-gnan.OK?
And Phuket, Samui, Phi Phi , there are for tourism right now..im not sure where u should go and see.But i think that there are many places that you would love..have to contact the local people...Ur pictures are great anyway..Love it.
The blog looks great and interesting. The author had rightly expressed his experience while visiting the most beautiful islands. The pictures shared are amazing. However, on the other hand, my friend's cousins had gone to Chaing Mai in Thailand, from where they had been taken to Karen Hill Tribe Lodge. They had stayed there for a month and experienced wilderness safari on elephants being Asian Elephant Safari (http://www.asianelephantsafari.com/), which was quite amazing.
