26th February - Koh Yao Yai to Ao Chalong (internet connection still weak...)


Wednesday 26th February

Koh Yao Yai is a predominantly Muslim island.  Our anchorage last night was near a large jetty, obviously used to transport workers from the island to various resorts hither and yon. 



We went in to shore to have a look, hoping to find a shop where we could top up our phone credit.  The nearest shop, according to a slightly obscure map near the ferry terminal, seemed to be about fifteen kilometres away so…we just wandered along the beach a bit.  It was all very low-key, low budget – a complete contrast to Santhiya, the fabulous resort just along the way.




After buying some barbequed chicken from a most delightful, smiling woman, we were back on 2XS in time to see….sunset!




We are now back under the watchful eye of the Big Buddha, in a little bay off the big bay, Ao Chalong.  We are in time to check out of Thailand, at the office on the long pier, in the next day or two – all on track, thus far…

Last time we were here Pete was so sick he could barely lift his head; this time he is just fine, thank heavens.
