no sandflies! i imagine there are plentiful moskitoes in the evening though.
considering that there is a airport in krabi, i see no reason why i won’t be coming back to ko lanta. it’s generally agreed by all that this is the best island ever.
my virgin sim works in tailand. i seem to have run out of credit though, and can’t top up from my phone. is there some way of doing it online? —-scratch that i just registered and topped up. its all good.
we went on many walks in the camaron highlands, and got completly lost in dense jungle. good fun though and no leaches.
of minor interest: dave mckean (who drew many a neil gaimain comic) has just illustrated a john cale box set. which is apperently rather nifty. he and gaiman are both big cale fans.
In fact, the more I look at that beach, the more I wish I was there. What’s the sandfly quota?
That sea looks deliciously warm. Unlike Bracklesham Bay.
Dear god Solidus, your days seem to consist of staggering, in a state of abject decadence, from one foul pit of guesthouse to another, whilst swilling the product of a crafty shop owner’s still and annoying all and sundry with your rather-too-loud “happiness” / drunken jollity.
What price the culture and sights of the country?
The highlands look good – have you done a “tame” walk?
By an odd coincidence, Han and I just watched The Beach… watch out for sharks!
