snorkel trip

Oh...re: our 2nite/3 day snorkel/camping trip, such a great trip! definately a highlight of our time here. Ned/Cait of freedom adventures are doing good work. click here for their website. spent one night on koh rok, one night koh kraden. marrie/eleanor in provided tent, me in hammock with bug dope on body, mosquito repellent coils burning below me (could not tolerate the dead-still hot air of the tent). shared the trip with just 4 others...a thai girl/her german boyfriend in their 30's who are living in bangkok and his german parents, their first time in thailand. we felt good that we had picked a trip that a native thai person chose for her boyfriend's parents as their first experience of thailand. some of the 'sexier' sightings in the water included a reef shark and a kuhl's ray just off the beach at koh rok. and some 'Nemo' (ie clown) fish. And a low-tide swim into a south thailand landmark of sorts known as 'the emerald pool' of koh muk. a pretty novel mini-adventure swimming through a lengthy tunnel into a hidden cavern surrounded by steep, high limestone walls. youtube it if curious.
