Koh Tao

Very bad patents today:-( Rented two mopeds for a day to see more of the island. No helmets, the discipline in traffic is equal to zero and this island hasn't got many maintained roads plus it either go steep up or right down. But we went for it.
Shark viewing at Shark Bay was to Daniel's relief cancelled due to rough sea.
Drove through very interesting areas before heading towards a recommended lookout. Spectacular view even if we didn't dare to drive all the way to the summit. Simply to steep for us.
This afternoon it was Pernillas turn to have a private lesson in Muay Thai. Felt heavy, old and out of shape:-( But it's still so much fun!

Koh Tao

Muay Thai!
We're already planning for Muay Thai to go live in Kävlinge in one way or another when we get back. There's nothing that give you as good physical and mental training as MT.
Who's up for it?!
We just have a gym owner to convince too! ;-)

Koh Tao

Long tail boat out to Banana Rock to snorkel for a couple of hours. Unbelievable how close Nemo's friends came to us when we had fruit in our hand. Water clear as the water we drink at home.
Lunch close to our hotel. Pernilla felt brave and got a haircut. Value for money as she cut it very short!! I want my long hair back!!
All afternoon by the pool and in a little covered sunbed was just what our skin needed to avoid getting burned.
We caught the reason for why our bananas on our balcony seem to disappear.
Muay Thai training with a private master for Daniel tonight made him see double and get blood taste in his mouth. But no matter what you still love this sport.

Koh Tao

By far the best place to have a holiday in Thailand according to us. Stay at Sensi Paradise Beach Hotel and the package is complete!
Today was all about snorkelling trying to find Nemo. We found many colourful fish, but no Nemo. Searching will continue tomorrow.
As you can see Oliver is now jumping into the pool without being pushed by big brother. And he even seem to enjoy it. Never thought that would ever happen!
On our way to the restaurant for dinner we found this 30cm gecko cuty!!

Chomphun - Koh Tao

Breakfast on the beach then swim and sunbath until taking the speed boat for about 2 hours to Koh Tao. We were about the only ones not being sea sick. But it almost. Add us sick just listening to it:-(
Arrived to a sunny beautiful Koh Tao which so far is our favourite place. Can strongly recommend this island. Lots of colourful fish and corals from 10 m from the beach so Kevin only want to be in his snorkel gear and in the water.
Dinner on the beach and pancake with healthy banana and nutella!

Pranburi - Chumphon

Realized today that when the manager of the hotel had been smiling, nodding and saying yes to arranging our trip to Koh Tao he hadn't book anything but reserved seats for us at a bus leaving from Hua Hin at 11pm!! 11 at night plus some hours on the bus before a few hours on the boat. He has apparently never travelled with children. We said no thanks and got things sorted ourselves. Got on a bus to Chomphun where we paid for 3 seats but got zero!! There was no ferry until next morning so had to arrange a bungalow for the night. Nice location but veeeery low standard.

Pranburi

After breakfast we walked to the same beach as yesterday. Kevin loves the water and can't get enough of wave surfing. 

Lunch at the same place as yesterday on the beach. Again with very tasty food. 

Got some more locally picked fresh fruit on our way back to the hotel. Had to stop halfway to cool down in the water and check out some kite surfers. Back at the hotel we went for another swim in the pool. 

Dinner at the hotel where we're staying.

Our days has really calmed down here in Thailand. Nothing else we can do in this heat. Just relax, swim, eat fantastic food and ENJOY!
