View by Joel: Back to Thailand

Hello everyone. Langkawi is truly beautiful. We are staying at a beach motel which is literary 3 metres from the beach, and the sea is crystal clear while the sand is soft. We bought a football and played all afternoon under the hot blazing sun; everything seemed perfect. Then the trouble started. first, we all got very sun burnt. I couldn't lie on my back last night because it was stinging too much. Second, I tore up the skin on my left foot sole, so I had to walk around like a cripple for the duration of the evening. Then to top it off, the beach town is completely dead this time of year, so there is nothing much to do after sunset. But hey, these things happen. We decided we had to leave pretty soon, because this would be unsustainable after a few days (especially since it's raining today, which means no beach). So we booked a ferry and bus ride to Phuket in Thailand, hoping this will finally give us what we want; a mixture of relaxation, activity, and night life. The trip takes about 7 hours. Whooppey. I've finally got some pics to show you, here they are below!
