Last night in Railay

Spent the past couple of days swimming, hiking, caving, reading, eating, napping, getting a massage ... life is good.

This is my last night in Railay. My parents headed back to India yesterday, and I part company with Saffina and Hip tomorrow. They will head over to the gulf side and spend the next 6 weeks making their way down back to Singapore. I head to Krabi via longboat, and then fly into Bangkok to meet up with Susan. Our plan is to head up north for the next 2 weeks. Cannot wait.

A lovely thing - there are fantastic thunder storms daily - about mid to late afternoon. You can see the storm approach over the water - usually last about 30 to 40 mins and bring heavy rain, ear splitting thunder, incredible ripping, tearing lightening, and a very welcome cooling breeze.
