Phang Nga Bay is a must visit if in Southern Thailand - such beautiful islands and incredibly salty water that is almost too warm (think of a warm bath). Around this rocky mini island, we experienced the easiest snorkelling ever. Even just standing in the water, the fish swam around our feet (pictured). Once in the water, they were all around our faces. We spotted stripey fish in various colours, rainbow parrot fish, a few duller varieties and a big brown eel.
There's always something special about an ocean sunset. (In my part of the world, the sun rises over ocean.) Tonight's version was extra pretty.
Overcast skies meant we had the beach and beach club pretty much to ourselves today. Gotta love low season 'crowds'.
Making new (animal) friends. Yesterday we fed lunch prepared by us, gave a DIY herbal skin treatment also prepared by us, bathed, scrubbed and had a water fight with some retired elephants. It was such a fun experience. #elephantsretirement9dee
Starting our holiday in style. Cheers! 🥂
I had the privilege of viewing this medieval tapestry several years ago in Paris. One of a series entitled The Lady And The Unicorn, I was drawn into its spell the second I laid eyes upon it. You can read about it on the blog now. (link in profile) What artworks have deeply affected you? #art #history #fabric #handmade #incredible #ladyandtheunicorn #paris #museecluny
