I knew nothing about Thailand prior to visiting. And to be frank, I probably would not be following any of the unrest there had I not previously visited and fell in love with these gentle, kind people. It is my hope that peace comes again soon.
Our visit in November was supposed to be after their rainy season. Note that I said "supposed to be". Much of our week on three of the islands included rain and rough seas. But no matter. It was still beautiful and peaceful and refreshing after our time in crowded Bangkok. We stayed at three lovely resorts in Phuket, Ko Lanta and Ao Nang. We napped, read, had great dinners, interesting drinks, and $10 an hour to-die-for massages. We saw lots of well cared for cats, a few monkeys and even a beach wedding that included an elephant!
I'll let the images speak for themselves. My next post holds a surprise that occurred on Ao Nang. Stay tuned!

I am following the protests as I too love the gentle Thai people and hope that a solution to their political crisis can be found.

Wonderful captures as always, Reena!! And what a beautiful place! I love the shots on the beach and the incredible skies!! Thanks for sharing the beauty!! What a great trip! It is sad to read of political crisis and I, too, hope they find a solution soon! Have a great weekend!!
Love the one with the tied up boats!! Looks like a wonderful place but sounds as though the unrest will definitely keep people away.
Such beautiful photos. Love the elephant-riding wedding couple.
