Alphagirls holiday pictorial

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 https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2008/12/7.jpg

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.
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2008/12/19.jpg
And finally I went on a snorkeling trip the next day. I was very excited for this.
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2008/12/20.jpg
There were islands everywhere.
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2008/12/21.jpg

https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2008/12/22.jpg

https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2008/12/23.jpg

Our first stop
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2008/12/24.jpg
Ok scenery there, some pretty fishies and corals.

Second Stop
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2008/12/25.jpg
I got stung by a jellyfish here, and I didn't care much for it at all!
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2008/12/26.jpg

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

https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2008/12/27.jpg

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.
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2008/12/28.jpg

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

https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2008/12/29.jpg

https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2008/12/30.jpg

https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2008/12/31.jpg

Alot of headless Budhas around these parts
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2008/12/32.jpg

https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2008/12/33.jpg

https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2008/12/34.jpg

https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2008/12/35.jpg

https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2008/12/36.jpg

Timber was inadvertently stepping into my photos all day.

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

Nice pics, Alpha. Good on ya. Thanks. :)

it doesn't look very lonely on Lonely beach any more

nice pics AG

Lovely Pics!! You would have loved Koh Chang 20 years ago.....:)

nice pics AG, its a lovely place and its going to be a even quieter this season

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....where are the fish ones....and the bikini ones....

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. :(

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?

Glad you enjoyed Thailand Alphagirl, nice pics.

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

Nice pics, AG. Thanks.

Now, that's the tourist pics done.

So, where are the real holiday pics?

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.

Thanks everyone~ I did so enjoy my holiday.
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

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....

Great pics alphagirl.:)

Thanks! I took almost 1500 photos on my trip, so it really was a lot of work picking the ones I wanted to put up.

Where's dem pics of alphagirl flirting with da local expats?

Nice one Alphagirl. :)

Great pics. Unless it was intentional, you may want to adjust the horizon line on some of them though, Photoshop can help you with that.

Enjoyed the pics very much. My kind of beach and atmosphere. What's the most efficient way to get to Koh Chang from BKK if I might ask?

bus from ekkamai station.

(or organise a private van)

^ Taxi

Used to be 2800B not sure what it is now

If you're flying into Bangkok the smoothest way would be to connect onto a Bangkok Airways flight. They have an airport in Trat and the ticket includes bus and boat transport to Koh Chang.

Probably not the cheapest way though.

Usually runs about 3500B nowadays, though you might get it cheaper if you look around.

When I flew, it didn't include the mini bus and boat. I had to pay about 350B for that.

the larger orange buoys are indeed mooring buoys ,

the smaller white floats appear to be a barrier against water craft entering the snorkeling area ?

Yep as mentioned.... nice work - some great pics :)

1500 snaps woooow did you get anytime to relax??

Great pics! Thanks mucho!

Some wonderful pics there. Thanks for sharing.

Great pix...cheers!

Great pics AG. I don't really like beaches , sea and sand much but looking at your photos almost made me want to go and see for myself. Very enticing.

I suppose that's the way the water was before we arrived ................

Thanks for sharing and putting in the effort to upload and organize the photos. Great Pics and well done.

you been to many interesting places, nice shots too.
