Today we were off Island Hopping around Ao Nang - so we were up early and off to the beach to await out driver and long tail. There were 7 of us today; myself the two Aussie lads and 4 American girls that are staying at our hostel. The islands were absolutely breathtaking with caves, stalligmites, little oasis - absolutely everything to delight the eyes. Our driver was not very friendly and made the whole day quite rushed and unpleasant - we had paid to be taken to 5 places and snorkeling gear and ended up without snorkeling gear and only visiting 3 places. We complained but it did little good - once again we have been treated with no respect, lied to and laughed at - I am not angry, I just feel a great sadness for this country and it's people - tourism has cost them their values and morality.
All in all though the day was great I got to see amazing places, swim, sun bake and be in good company. I still feel homesick but keeping my mind elsewhere has helped me today. Still no idea when exactly we will head to Phuket and I guess there is no hurry so will just take it day by day.
