Pretty low bar but. Following up our recent bruising experience with Tigerline Ferries, we took what looked an even scrappier boat for our trip to Krabi on the mainland. At first it wasn’t too bad – the sea was less choppy than on the earlier trip, so the impacts were less severe. You wouldn’t call […]

All good things come to an end, they say – and they’re right of course. We’ve run out of islands to hop, at least for the moment, so tomorrow we have to leave all this and hit the Thai mainland for the first time. In truth, if truth be told – and why shouldn’t it

Koh Libong is a lovely, unspoilt island. Truth be told, ‘attractions’ are pretty thin on the ground. This morning we decided to start by visiting one of the top tips: Point Dubong, where a tower has been built to aid viewings of the ever more elusive dubong – an aquatic beastie something like a walrus

And there was us thinking it would be a few palm leaf huts by a sleepy seashore. Having said which, it’s pretty quiet till the evenings. Presumably all the young folk are off scuba diving and that, or sleeping off last night’s excess. And in truth there’s really not a whole lot to do during

D’ja see what I did there, didja? Hem… Anyway, moving on… Wow but it’s nice here. An island so small that you can walk from our beach to Sunrise Beach – literally right across the island – in about 15 minutes. And that’s not walking fast. Because even now, at five in the evening, it’s
