Ao Phai

Ok this is cheating - its from the Internet - but this is the beach where I stayed. Its called Ao Phai! And yes it looks just like this.

Return to Ko Samet

I will be picking up a private lesson next week on Thursdays so my having Thursday and Friday off will be ending. So one last trip to the isle of Ko Samet. (The perfect overnight beach journey.)
This time the weather was flawless!
I left early and had my feet in the sand at noon. I sat in the sun, read, napped, ate fresh fish and then tragedy struck!
I was invited to join in a game of beach volleyball and the game was 22 -23 with my team ahead. I served, they returned, one of my teammates set up the ball and I dived - right into the ocean and went for a brief dip. Only later did I realize my camera was in my pocket and my trusty friend that saw Africa and now Thailand is no longer a part of my adventures. He was a good camera and I will miss him. So no pics of this trip and I will get a new one as soon as I can. Till then - anecdotes, observations and amazing descriptive passages will have to do.
But we won the game!!!!
