South to the Beach

The house we are staying in.

Laila & Baba swimming.
They say Koh Mak has some of the tallest palms in the world
The boat ride to Koh Mak...it was bumpy!

After some discussion about our next move we decided to head south to the beaches of Thialand. After 20 minutes to the train station, 14 hours on the train, 24 hours in Bangkok, 6 hours by bus to Trat, 30 minutes to the pier, then 45 minutes by speedboat to the Island of Koh Mak, and then a 10 minute pick-up to the guest-house we arrived. Total Travel Time: 45 hours....45 minutes. It has been worth it. The pace of life has slowed, we spend our days cooking, playing, swimming at the beach and hanging out with some new friends that we have made.
