A little R & R in Ko Tarutao

After some interesting travels in Myanmar, we thought a little R & R was in order. Decided to do the west coast of southern Thailand and enjoy what the beaches have to offer. Started in the far south at Ko Tarutao National Marine Park. We stayed on 2 islands here. Ko Tarutao itself, and then Lipe afterwards. We spent 1 night in a Tent on the beach in Ko Tarutao, but decided to leave shortly after because we couldn't arrange any snorkelling trips from here. We needed to go to Lipe to do that...

Despite it being the 'dry' season over here, our tent proved to hold up in quite the rain storm!
View of the beach from our tent. Doesn't get much better than this. Upgraded a bit (if you can imagine that) to this beach on Ko Lipe. Absolutely beautiful beach. We planned on staying 3 days, but ended up staying 5. Very relaxing, and very quiet. Did some great snorkelling off the beach, and on a day trip to neighboring islands.When we weren't snorkelling we were either doing this....

... or this.
Not bad sunsets either.
