Yao Yai Thailand

Yao Yai is an island in the Phang Nga Bay.  The religion is Muslim, and the call to prayers and young women in hijabs riding motorbikes is an unusual backdrop for a decadent beach vacation. 

The view from our villa’s pool is a beautiful garden melting into the sea. The orange and pink flowers (apology to the horticulturalists) litter the pool every morning.   Played with all the beach toys and relaxed.  

First paddle of the season

Took a longboat excursion to some remote islands... lots of fish in crystal clear water. Finally know aquamarine looks like.

Toughest  decision I am going to make today.  Massage before or after lunch?
