This tour started at 5 AM. Initially we groaned at the early start but it ended up being perfect. We were ahead of the crowds at every stop.
We were early enough to get the sunrise on the ocean.
Our first stop was through a cave to a big clearing.
James Bond Island
We stopped at Koh Panyee for lunch. This is a ‘floating’ village built entirely on stilts.
The football field is the green area. Rumour has it that the youngest player gets to retrieve balls that end up in the water.
We went to the top of a mountain in the back of a truck to get a panoramic view. It is also a campsite.
The next stop was the highlight of the day for me.
We got to go in a kayak through a rock formation to the mangroves on the other side. This was only possible at low tide.
The scenery was amazing. We got to sit back and enjoy.
We ended the tour on Panya Beach.
A perfect ending to our Thailand vacation.
Cheers
