• Koh Ta Kiev..... Paradise Christmas

    January 2, 2017, Gulf of Thailand ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

    We headed to Crusoe Island resort for 4 nights over Christmas. Basically it's like glamping on the beach/jungle.

    We opted for the Explorer bungalow.
    I use the word bungalow loosely, for where walls should be, were bright flowing orange curtains, so not much privacy or protection from the jungle beasts but a cracking view every morning and evening.

    Christmas was idyllic, pure bliss. Happy, chilled, tipsy floating in the gulf of Thailand.
    The freshly cooked island food was exquisite and we only had pangs for Xmas turkey once or twice.

    Evening were spent chatting around the shipwrecked style bar, talking to new friends, playing cards and swapping travel tales.

    Talking of new friends, we had a few run ins with huntsman spiders! Tarantulas! (While washing with our bucket shower, I washed a tarantula onto me.... !!!) And a nightly visit from mr rat, who had a taken quite a liking to our dove soap bar!!!!!

    We loved our loved up paradise Christmas. Definitely one we will never forget.
