Posing, on the ferry to our first island, Ko Pha Ngan (SW Coast).  Susana, laughing at Brian's poses.


Smiling at Smile Bungalows, where we stayed, Bottle Beach.


After hiking up into the jungle, never making it to the other baeches past this summit, Ko Pha Ngan.



The view from the summit, overlooking our beach.


 
View of the beach as we hike down.



We rented a motorcycle and rode around Ko Pha Ngam together.
This is my first time on a motorcycle.  To Cheryl & Grant: it's not a Harley,
but we got a sense of what the excitement is all about!

ko tao

After drinking fruitshakes near the beach on our next island, Ko Tao (SW Coast).
Brian's wings (his hair) are starting to appear, it's a little distracting...


 
On a Ko Tao beach.  Brian's excitement for his forming mullet grows.  Susana, pensive about the emerging mullet...

 
Becoming each other's photographers, at another Ko Tao Beach.

ko suborn

 
Some houses on the water in one of the many rivers flowing into the Andaman Sea.  How would you like to live like this? It's probably perfect to live on the water when you work on the water. And if you want to take a swim, just step out your front door. We've made our way to the South East Coast of Thailand.


 
The local ferry look about 2 hours to travel down the river, picking people along the way.



We finally arrive on Ko Suborn.   It is a small Muslim fishing village. 
The people are very nice, the sand on the beaches are dark brown.  This place is remote, and there are some foreigners here. 
The beaches here are littered with garbage and very disappointing.  We left the next morning.
