I thought I would post a pictorial of some of my adventures in Thailand.

I went to Lovely Koh Chang

I stayed at a little bungalow on Lonely Beach. It is very lovely there.

I spent quite a few days just enjoying the beach

Very lovely scenery around there

The ocean was clear and beautiful!

I kayaked out to a nearby island, and let me tell you that turned out to be a lot more work than I thought it would

Its a good thing I chose the closest one.

Anyway back to lonely beach to enjoy a Sunset.

I went trekking the next day. It was very hot, didn't see much wild life, but very interesting trees.

The guide did try to entice a big spider to come out of his home.

And finally I went on a snorkeling trip the next day. I was very excited for this.

There were islands everywhere.

Our first stop

Ok scenery there, some pretty fishies and corals.

Second Stop

I got stung by a jellyfish here, and I didn't care much for it at all!

This is was the next destination, there was lots to see here.

Our final destination was lovely as well, I was exhausted by then so I had a beer and an Ice Cream on the beach instead.

I was getting lonely on Lonely Beach, so I headed back to Bangkok the next day, and Timber and I were off to Ayutthaya

Alot of headless Budhas around these parts

Timber was inadvertently stepping into my photos all day.

I really enjoyed my Holiday in Thaland, and I hope you enjoy my pictorial.

Loy Toy · 01-12-2008, 11:00 AM

Yep, very well done AG and I have enjoyed your thread so far.

I certainly need a holiday and your pictorial has just about made my mind up to get the family down there for a well earned break.

Thanks for your effort.

Nice pics Alphagirl. Sorry I didn't have more time to hang out with you, I was pretty busy. I'm glad I got to go on the boat trip with you though, it's always a good time. Nice meeting you and see you next time.

FYI we did make an attempt at some fun and debauchery on Loy Katong, but the poor jetlagged girl fell asleep at 8:00.

Johnny Longprong · 01-12-2008, 01:29 PM

Looks like a great holiday AG. Loved the photos.
Can you tell me what wrere the bouys around that small island? Was it a shark net?

They are usually anchoring points for the dive company/tourist boats. So they do not have to drop anchors and damage the reefs

Glad you enjoyed Thailand Alphagirl, nice pics.

JoGeAr · 01-12-2008, 02:05 PM

Nice pics, AG. Thanks.

Now, that's the tourist pics done.

So, where are the real holiday pics?

Loombucket · 01-12-2008, 04:37 PM

Very nice pics Alphagirl, thanks for sharing them. I have not made it to Koh Chang yet, but I am tempted after seeing all those lovely little islands.

alphagirl · 01-12-2008, 07:05 PM

Sorry Nawty no Bikini Pics

Thanks so much for everything, for real you were a big help and wonderful company as well. Funny thing about the jet lag, it has been far worse coming back. I did nothing but sleep the first week and assimilating back into my culture hasn't been easy either, I've been a bit grumpy.

Umm any debauchery and Mayhem that may have occured, well I was probably so drunk I forgot I even had a camera.

You should go check out Koh Chang, has a little bit of everything there. I even went Zip Lining while I was there, that was fantastic fun!

awesomepics, thx

SEA Traveler · 01-12-2008, 10:10 PM

Nice pics to document your trip AG. Timber is quite the ham isn't he? Koh Chang is really not to far from where I am although I have not made the trip there yet. Your pics have convinced me that I want to head that way sometime soon. And Ayutthaya is certainly a close location to BKK that one can take in the lovely ruins. Good that you enjoyed your trip....

Roc · 01-12-2008, 10:58 PM

Great pics alphagirl.

nipper · 02-12-2008, 05:16 AM

Beautiful photographs, thanks a lot.
