Was it written in the stars? The decision to take a day trip to the Ang Thong archipelago was a finely balanced one.
Do you lose a day on a beautiful beach and with all the facilities we have in our villa to go to a place you hadn't planned to go to in the first place?
Not prone to impulse, we decided to visit Ang Thong (!). However, on arrival at Thongsala, the port, we discovered that the hotel had forgotten to book us a place on the trip so we were driven back to our resort.
Actually, when we arrived at the port, I did think - 'this is a mistake'. It looked like we were being sub contracted out to a squad of cowboys who probably only cared about the profit margin. Still we escaped through an error not of our own making and Ang Thong will forever be a mystery to us as we are unlikely to make this pass again.
Theatrically upset we accepted a free 30 minute ride to Thongsala tomorrow morning, so all in all the mistake worked in our favour! We've got a free ride and we got to spend our last day on Koh Pha-Ngan doing what we wanted, namely taking a kayak out on the high seas before relaxing and alternating between the sea, our sunbeds and our plunge pool.

Tomorrow Koh Tao; our next place was booked a year ago all by ourselves (without a net).
We leave on the Songserm Express Boat at half past noon.
You should be careful playing Knock down ginger when you're abroad, pausing for a photo shoot isn't a good idea! On the other hand if you painted the doors blue and stuck a St Johns sticker on the door you could be entering the Tardis :-) Great lion, it takes serviette folding to a whole new level, wonder where I can find a towel origami course?
