After a great night's sleep in an air conditioned room we were ready for the next journey.
This time taxi, then longtail boat to Koh Libong, an island about 30 mins off the coast near Trang.
The libong relax beach resort certainly loves up to its name. Deserted beach, good snorkelling and a traditional hut with relaxing cushions on the balcony (which is where I'm writing from)
The journey from the island port to the hotel was another form of transport. The back of a pick up truck! Burning hot on the edges it was at least efficient and we and our luggage arrived safely.
When we'd unpacked we enjoyed the beach (flip flops on for the boiling hot sand) and sea, before enjoying ac traditional Thai meal in the restaurant.
Pad Thai for Jon and fried rice for Joanne. The kids went more American with burger and chips!
Setting up the mosquito nets for the night was a first for all of us but we managed it and made sure we kept the doors and windows shut to keep out the monkeys!
Lessons learnt: no toilet paper to be flushed results in the need to go local, using the shower hose next to the loo to clean up after toileting. Not bad once you get used to it.
