Portion Of The Thai Grand Palace In Bangkok. Quite A Complex With Lots Of Great Sights.
One Of The Guards @ The Grand Palace.
Kamala Bay On The Island Of Phuket. We Visited On Joel's Birthday, Celebrated By Renting Wave Runners, Got A Thai Message On The Beach & Had Dinner.
Then Went To The Live-A-Board For The SCUBA Adventure. See The Arrow On The Map Below - Our Dive Destination!
We Boarded The Boat North Of Phuket Island & Cruised All Night To Awaken To This Lovely Sight In The Similan Islands.
Light Breakfast, Then Dove. Real Breakfast, Then Sunned. Hit The Water Again & Ate Lunch. Took A Nap, Then Dove. Watched The Sunset And...
...Took A Night Dive. Then You Guessed It, Ate Dinner & Passed Out!
The Visibility Was Great & The Colors Were Absolutely Incredible.
Looks Like I Needed More Time On The Beach. Between The 24 Hour Trip, The Busy Schedule & All The Diving - I Was Ready For Bed!
We Spent Most Of Our Time Between Dives In This Protected Cove - Looks Like An Image For A Post Card!
Sorry I Can't Tell You The Names Of All The Critters & Vegetation. Just Enjoy The View - I Did!
Ko Bon Is A Very Small Island On The Way Back To The Mainland. It's Outside The Nature Preserve & Had LOTS Of Dynamite Damage But We Saw Good Stuff.
No Explanation Necessary.
The "True" Purpose Of Our Visit Was To Visit Joel's Friends Mick & Sally. Sally Worked A Lot So We Spent A Lot Of Time w/ Mick & The Boys.
The Museum Is A Tribute To The Prisoners Who Were Forced Into Slave Labor By The Japanese During WWII To Build The Death Railway.
Two Rickshaw Drivers In Kanchanaburi Took Us To Sam's River Raft Motel. We Got The Corner Room, With A/C, A Fan & A Hot Water Shower For $10/Night.
The First Stop On Our Guided Tour From Kanchanaburi Was Erawan Falls, A Nine Step Tropical Waterfall. The Pools Were Cool & Very Refreshing.
Does That Forehead In The Water Look Familiar? I Felt Like Tarzan, Taking A Refreshing Dip In A Jungle Pool.
After Erawan Falls We Rode A Long-Tail Boat Up River To Ride Elephants. Joel Looks Much Happier Than He Felt - Elephants Have Very Course Hair.
We Rode The Death Railway Across The River Kwai Bridge. The Center Section Was Replaced After Bombing By The Allied Forces.
