Ko Lanta was good but Tonsai Beach is great. It took a couple hours and a three different modes of transport, on roads and sea, to get here and it was well worth it. If you can imagine it, we are on a beach, surrounded by dramatic vertical limestone cliffs and the only people here are young ripped and tattooed rock-climbers. It's pretty fun and super laid back. We have a little bamboo bungalow about 100 meters from the beach and we divide our days between swimming in the warm waters of the Andaman coast, a little bit of rock-climbing and delicious dinners and beers on the beach at night. Bob Marley is by far the top played artist and our little "five fingers" only leave our feet to swim and sleep. It's a good life!
We will be here for another couple days and then heading back to Bangkok for only one night before getting on the bus to Siem Reap, Cambodia where it seems we will be meeting up with Marcin and Rose. Good times ahead.
Next time, I will post some photos!

It sounds like Chris's dream world, cliffs to climb on surrounded by beautiful beaches to swim in!
ReplyDeleteFurther to Comment number 1 on Chris' dream world: "... with his exquisite bride!"
ReplyDeleteExcellent news from all your stops so far and I'm also thrilled that Paulu's 5-toe wedding presents have proven themselves to be the absolute must for this trip. T-Bone's Snuggies will most definitely be ideal for your return home to settle down after your year of adventure.
Reading up on your current location on the Internet, I found this sentence amusing: "Climbing is the main activity in Ton Sai; the other is sitting around in the numerous beach bars getting stoned or occasionally playing frisbee."
