My final Thailand post

I thought I'd round out my Thailand journey posts with a few of my favourite captures of what attracts so many people to this area.

Sooooo many fire shows, we timed it for the Fire games so people were training most days and nights leading up to the event


Let the games begin




Young locals exploring the rocks at low tide


Everyone has to try the slackline


Most mornings or evenings there'd be at least one base jumper


This is Tim Emmett for those that know there extreme sports


Unfortunately on this jump the wind gusted up and pushed him into the cliff infront of alot of snap happy onlookers


He was unhurt and jumped again the following day but he was still very lucky


Another reason to go is for the amazing natural beauty of the land






The people you meet


It needs a crop and and a straighten, I know!


and you definitely can't go past those amazing sunsets...






and some of the local species

plenty of these about if you keep your eyes open


Its a little hard to tell but it is a hermit crab


A small crabs home and artwork


I'll finish up with a bit of fun on a monster rope swing set up to raise funds to replace dubious bolts on some climbs




oh and the other main resason people come here, chillin on the beach and hanging out in funky hand made bars!










Wow! so many great memories I didn't want to stop posting pics!! I will leave it there. I hope you enjoyed looking as much as I enjoyed sharing and re-living the trip.
