Back from the Kingdom of Thailand

Happy New Year to everyone! We arrived home last night, to snowy, icy and downright cold conditions, after a long but relatively easy journey home. It was a great time away but of course we wanted stay much longer; we left a lot undone while we were on 'Elephant Island"!

We chose our area to stay based on a rough map, and because we wanted a sandy beach, sunset and sunrise views, and peace and quiet, Ban Khlong Phrao seemed a good guess, and we were right. We found a bungalow on a spit of land (Cape Chaiyachet), with the ocean just 3 meters from the front door and 5 meters from the back, plus a perfect pier to ourselves! The sun rose in the front at 7am:













and set out back at 5:45pm:














Here Tracy waits out back for a sunset shoot:



















Hopefully we'll get our best pics together in a photo album for the website soon; we'll post a link here when we're done!

Glad to hear that you had a good trip. I'm pretty jealous. Of course it was 80 degrees here today and beautiful. So I guess I'll let it slide.

Nice pics. Glad you had fun. Did you say it was cold where you are today? I guess that must be relative to Thailand. How cold does it get where you are? -10? And how do you live without central heating!?!
