Thailand






We are in Thailand now on a small island called Koh Phayam. We shot down south from Bangkok last week to the island of Ko Chang. From there we lucked out and jumped on a live-aboard dive charter to the Similan Islands. The dive trip lasted 5 days and during which time we were lucky enough to dive 16 times!! For those of you with dive certifications - definitely consider doing this trip. It was one of the best things that either of us have ever done, hands down. The sea life was unreal and we cruised in some of the most beautiful islands. At night we were able to sleep under the stars and we even did a night dive.
There is tons more to describe about the amazing dive trip, but the internet on this island is super expensive and slow.....
We will be here in Ko Phayam until the 24th and then back to Bangkok. Our bunglaw on the beach is another place that some of you would really enjoy. Every evening is a "family dinner" with dishes of tasty local thai treats. Following dinner is a night of live music and singing..... perfect!
Ok, we'll see everyone very soon i'm sure. We'll write briefly from Bangkok with flight details, etc for those interested.

~ Also - we have a bunch of underwater pics from the trip. We will post a few when we get to Bangkok so be sure to check back on the 24/25th.

Hi Guys... your time on the dive boat sounds unreal... I can't wait for photos. I don't work on Wed. morning, so could grab you from the airport if you like. Are you thinking of staying in Van for a bit? Or heading straight back to the Island? Just let me know your plan - can't wait to see you... *Jen

Hi Heather and Zay!
Your trip sounds amazing!
Each excursion sounds better and better. I can't wait to see more pics, especially of Cambodia. I hope you are enjoying the weather there because it is -22 without the wind chill here. Oh and Heath, I can't believe you are going to be 25 soon! eeks. Hopefully we can chat when you get home. Give me a shout.
Take care both of you.
Love ya! Cara
