After Bali, we returned to Thailand where my father, Don, and his friend Bonnie, joined us for several days of island hopping off the Andaman coast.
Our first stop was Phuket, which was a bit too busy for our taste, but the beach at Kata was perfect, and the ladyboy cabaret in the party-town of Patong was entertaining.
Nok had to leave unexpectedly to be with her family because her grandma passed away. Nok had wanted to go to the island of Railay, so we put it on our itinerary. Unfortunately, she missed this part of the journey.
We spent three days there. The beach was among the most beautiful I have ever seen, with breathtaking limestone cliffs that rise dramatically into the sky. It reminded me of Yosemite, but tropical, with Ocean instead of lakes and rivers.
Here is a video taken from a longtail boat. These longtail boats are one of the main ways to get between islands, as they can easily navigate shallow waters and dock right on the beach.

Wow .. Beautiful scenery !!
Ok, sorry, I had to ask Ryan …
I saw you in the Thailand garbs posted here, where you looked a little like Rasputin .. but, have you tried on and walked around Bali in the “make-shift diaper” that your boat guide was wearing yet?…. lol
You’re funny. I did wear a sarong quite a bit of the time in Bali. I would have felt really awkward wearing it anywhere else, but it was actually required to enter the temples, and men wear them all the time, so it just felt normal after a while.
