Day 77 :: Secluded Beaches
Day 77 :: Koh Samui
-----
[For the record: We haven't worn socks since China.]
Only 28 hours by bus from Chiang Mai is a little place called Railay Beach. It sits along the west side of Thailand on the Adaman Sea. The only way to get to these beaches is by a long boat; no land entrance exists. The sand is white, the water is aqua and the cliffs are breathtaking. You can even walk between Islands when the tide is out.
This is where we've been for the last week.
We found a cabana for $4.50 a night. We spent one day snorkeling off uninhabited Islands. Another day was spent kayaking in and out of caves and finding secluded beaches. And this morning we hiked into a lagoon, which seemed out of this world. It was surrounded by five-hundred foot cliffs on all sides and the only way to get to it was by lowering yourself down the cliffs by ropes. The rest of our time was spent eating curries for $3 and laying around. It was absolutely perfect.
A few more photos can be seen here.

Jurassic Park in Thailand. That giant tree could be the foot of a for real dino. Keep it real.
Looks and sounds awful. I'm just glad that I'm here and not there. And that I'm not jealous in any way whatsoever.
You see any of Matt Carder's tracks there--I think he stayed there too.
