Koh Tao, Koh Phangan, Krabi, Railay Beach

We saw lots of these over there.

Premier coucher de soleil a Koh Tao.

On y a fais pas mal de plonger jusqu'au jour ou le temps s'est gater. Au final, on est mieux a 20m sous la surface lors d'un orage!

Koh Phangan. Interesting gloomy days..

High tides can do some pretty spectacular damage.

Depuis Krabi, on doit prendre un bateau pour acceder la Peninsule de Railay.

To get to Railay beach, you've got to hire one of these "longtail" boats.

Coucher de soleil sur West Railay Beach.

Railay est le paradis de l'escalade.

Peandant que l'on relaxait sur la plage de sable blanc, on pouvait admirer les grimpeurs sur la falaise.

The beaches in Thailand were definitely the most beautiful we've ever seen. Fine white sand, clear turquoise water and imposing cliffs jutting out of the sand.

Lots of monkeys around!

Pranang Cave Beach. Nager sous les rochers... a couper le souffle!

The cliffs create some cool caves and places to swim.

These cliffs are also a top destination for rock climbers from around the world.

Pranang beach. Gerald proposed during this sunset.

A different species, these ones had funny eyes.

Comme quoi un trouve de tout et n'importes quoi!!

Riding the longtail.

Masque, palmes, tuba, et hop on saute du bateau pour decouvrir la faune et flore sous marine autour de ses petites iles, a plusieurs miles de la cote.

A la fin de la journee de notre snorkeling trip, on s'est arreter sur un banc de sable, pour un dinner accompagner d'un coucher de soleil. Le banc de sable a disparu sous l'eau 10min apres notre depart.

We took a longtail boat cruise and had dinner on this desert island (which had disappeared under the high tide by the time we left).

Bateau de peche aux alentours de Koh Phiphi.

Another day, we took a boat cruise/snorkeling trip around Koh Phi Phi. On the trip, we stopped by Maya Bay, which was the setting for the film "The Beach" starring Leonardo DiCaprio.

Fire dancers.

This chameleon was chilling on a stick, changing colors at his whim.

Le plus beau des couchers de soleil. On aurait dit que le ciel etait en feu!

Many beautiful sunsets.

Our bungalow at East Railay beach.

Grand Palace, Bangkok, Thailande

The grand palace in Bangkok is huge, extravagant, opulent and extremely ornamental.

Le Grand Palais de Bangkok.

Des millions d'heure de travail pour la deco!!! En permanente renovation, il est garde au meilleurs de sa forme.

Thousands of square feet of wall space were diligently hand-painted with the stories of Thailand's past.

No mirrors involved...

Painting restoration.

Bangkok,Thailand

First night in Bangkok! cheap eats...

Our blurry friend is Emma, who was one of our house mates in Sydney. She took some well needed vacation time and joined us on our Thailand trip.

Sometimes in south east asia you take long bus rides to get places. Without fail, the buses are always pimped out.

Voila un bus Thailandais qui ne sort pas de la norme! Karaoke fait en general partie des options!

Thailand is renown for its street food. This guy cooked us up some authentic pad thai for $1.

Bangkok is one of the best places to shop. Everything is already cheap, but don't forget to bargain down the price!

We decided to take a tuk tuk in Bangkok to get to our destination, but were stopped shortly thereafter by a cop, and our driver was given a ticket for picking up passengers without the proper registration or something...

Notre seule tentative de tuktuk, apres 2 min, notre chauffeur se fait arreter par un flic... On a continuer a pied jusqu'au canal, ou l'on a pris le bateau. Le plus rapide mode de transport, utiliser par les locaux.

This is at Patpong night market. The actual market is chockablock with watches, purses, belts, wallets, jewelry etc. Lining the sides of the market are night clubs like this one which feature "ping pong shows" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ping_pong_show).

There was a dodgy massage parlor near our hotel with this sign out front. You'll have to look at #1 on the main course...

Walking through Chinatown.

Le boudha dore.

Le marche de Chinatown.

The wh0le of south east asia is one big human safety hazard. These guys were cleaning the side of the building, but instead of using harnesses, they just sat on the power lines...

At the train station ready to head south!
