Family Fun in Thailand

  A little family fun on the islands off of the Andaman Sea in Krabi, Thailand.  Our favorite destination yet!


Taking a boat ride to our hotel

A tractor pulled our boat to the beach.  And my new favorite refreshing drink, the "Welcome Drink," fresh coconut juice with a scoop of lime sherbet.


A trip to Thailand would not be complete without an introductory cooking class.  I spent an afternoon preparing a few savory Thai dishes and learning about the native spices, curries, and local cuisine.  The menu included prawn cakes,  Thai curry with chicken, and my favorite Pad Thai (stir-fried rice noodles with prawns).


The rest of our time was spent enjoying the beautiful beaches and the stunning scenery in this little slice of paradise in southern Thailand.

Mosquito Island was the setting for the drama, The Beach starring Leonardo Dicaprio in 2000.

And yes, the water was this clear!











Long tail boats are used to taxi in tourism workers and goods to the islands.

Some even serve food off of their boats.












These two boys were in heaven even though their expressions may not show it.
