Saturday 7 Feb. Travelled to our holiday island in Thailand. Left KL at 1300 by AirAsia on a 1 ¼ hour flight to Phuket. Collected from the airport by the cheerful Mr Dean (not his real name but known as) for the 3 hour drive to the ferry stopping for a bite to eat and to get some money from the ATM along the way. Arrived in time for the last Ferry to Koh Siboyha which left at 1730, or thereabouts depending when all the passengers had arrived. We were expected! Now what would you imagine the ‘ferry’ to be? Certainly not a roll on roll off cross channel affair. Something more modest perhaps: a flat tub with room for a couple of cars/bikes/small trucks? No, still thinking too big. Our ‘ferry’ was a much smaller craft with an outboard motor; would take a few scooters and a dozen passengers but not much more (see picture). The ferry took 20 mins to reach our island and then it was only a 10 minute tuk-tuk (bit like a small open sided van) to reach our resort. We had a lovely red Thai chicken curry, washed down with a couple of beers for supper before retiring to upwords and bed. Thankfully we were so tired we were unaffected by the Saturday dance night in the resort next door! Bye for now...David.
