Time to leave Bangkok and head to the beach in southern Thailand. I flew to Phuket and then took a taxi 60 km north to Khao Lak. Khao Lak was hard hit by the 2004 tsunami. The area suffered a lot of damage and many people died. The area has recovered and many homes and businesses have been rebuilt.
I stayed at Poseidon Bungalows on Khao Lak beach, a beautiful sandy private beach. The restaurant has a lovely view at the intersection of the bay and a small river. I saw elephants bathing in the river one evening! There are 15 bungalows built among the rainforest all located off a winding path that ends at the beach. I ate all of my meals at the restaurant often with a beer watching the sunset and enjoying the peace and quiet. And I was lucky to make new friends…Rosemary and Peter from London.
Here are a few sunset photos taken on the beach at Poseidon.
