Living it Up in Southern Thailand

82. A Kao Lak sunset

A Kao Lak sunset

After leaving Bangkok we spent a few weeks scuba diving, relaxing, looking all over town for tours, visiting beautiful islands and partying it up in Phuket. Oh, and my personal favorite…a visit to James Bond Island. We’re currently in Bali, Indonesia, and will soon be heading to Malaysia…but for now, on with the entries on southern Thailand that cover April 17 – May 4, 2009.

Also, I mentioned it before, but Carrie and I will be returning to the USA on August 17, 2009 and I will be back in NYC on August 24.
