Day Fourty-Six

Woo hoo, I'm in Ko Phangnan! After enduring 11.5 hours on a train from Bangkok, 2 hours in a crowded bus in Surat Thani, 3 hours on a rickety ferry across the Gulf of Thailand, and another half an hour in a hot taxi on the island we arrived to Ko Phangnan in the early afternoon. Although the trek took a lot of energy and patience it seems to have been completely worth our efforts.

The name of our hotel is the Drop In Hotel. I know it sounds a little "shady" but it's actually one of the nicest places I've stayed at all trip. Our hotel is located between the Baan Tai and Haad Rin beaches. It's own beach is actually called Rin Nok beach. Rin Nok beach is a white sand cove lined with beach stand bars and restaurants.

Jeff and I relaxed at Rhinnok beach for a couple of hours and got back to our hotel around six o'clock. Tonight we plan on going into Haad Rin where there are supposedly a lot of American and Euro expatriates our age. Anyways, we don't have any big plans for tomorrow but we may do a hike or two. Love you guys!
