• KoYao Island Day 1 - ✌🏼& 🤫

    January 9, 2024 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C

    Spent the remainder of our day doing absolutely nothing… and we were 100% ok with that.

    I’m losing track of what day of the week it is and was informed by Mike that’s when you know you are totally relaxed. Maybe like nirvana but not quite the Phra KK status kind?

    Our villa for the remainder of our trip is amazing… luxurious and also open-air and rustic. Outdoor shower, tub and sink. Total my jam. 🙌🏼 With that comes the Nat Geo experience… We have a resident frog that hangs out behind the towel “hanger” dealio. And mosquitoes are a thing so we have repellent burning and a bug net to surround us while we sleep. They also fog for mosquitoes every day so am A+ for effort to keep these pests anywhere but here.

    Beach was/is delightful and I made friends with a few sand crabs during my stay at their place. They showed off for me as I observed them packing sand out, little by little. (Kind of reminded me of cleaning Zs room - jk Z). Who wouldn’t be impressed with their sand-decorations and want to see how these came to be? (Mike is the answer to that question - Lol).

    Encountered a hornbill on my way to pool. Snagged my own pic this time - no Google needed. Gorgeous (or handsome) bird!

    Mike did snag a paddle board so we took that out a bit to “ride the waves”. NOTE: Life jacket was required to use the paddle board, I didn’t make Mike wear it. 😉

    Ended the evening with dinner at the hotel and just taking in the sights, sounds and smells of the Phang Nga Bay.

    P.S. My sand crab friends’ work gets washed away by the tide each night… and they start again when the tide goes back out. At what point do they just throw their claws up and wave’em like they just don’t care and relocate? 🦀 God definitely granted them patience and boy am I envious!

    Chon (Thai for cheers)!
