Maya beach

I love you all out there in the sky. inside our hearts and memories, we will never forget you, God bless you all, we will be back ,to honor and remember and to meet one of the most beautiful countries and most wonderful peoples in the world, I wish.........

Beautiful and overcrowded, I paid about 800 bath for a longtailboat to visit "The Beach".
It was really nice to dive around this Island, but the amount of tourist will soon destroy the reefs - Thailand authorities are planning to close Phi-Phi so it can recover from all wounds already made of the tourists, but I think that it will be very hard to do, to much money involved!
The rest of Thailand is a trip of beauty and peace and I will be back in jan/feb -04

Reception to the Bungalows at Koh Racha Yai

This path goes to the reception and main reastaurant at Racha Island, It looks like it was built from old shipwrecks and the views at this wonderful Island are incredible, and the sand like white powder.

Dinogolf at Karon Beach

Very nice views and a lot of fun killed a few hours, but it was very hot at the course!

Elephantride in heavy rain

The Elephant are very happy when it is raining, this ride and the rain in a rainforest is fantastic, You can find rides like this one everywhere in Thailand and it is quite cheap - we paid about 800 ThB for 1 hour

Babymonkey with Kitten

This 2 month old Monkey had found a 3 week old Kitten and was running all over the place holding the Kitten tight, they had to separate them later because the Monkey was a bit rough to the Kitten, but they looked very cute.

    Great place.... It is great to see someone else that enjoys great sandy beaches and sun. This is another one of my dream dive spots.
