Thailand 2003

October 26 2003 Tammay and I travelled from Heathrow to Kuala Lumpur where we met up with Tom Jeans.

During the trip I shot with slide film in my SLR. The colour and clarity in the photos, when viewed through a slide viewer, was incredibly good but it has meant they have proved a little too difficult to scan for my website... I really should look into that!

Karon Villa Phuket Beach Resort & Spa

October 27 We travelled from Kuala Lumpur to Phuket where we stayed on Karon Beach at Karon Villa Phuket Beach Resort & Spa (509 Karon Beach, Phuket 83100 Thailand - now called Mövenpick Resort & Spa).

While on Phi Phi we stayed in a small hut located right on the beach. This was basically the view from the door.

We agreed for one of the locals to take us out on his long tail boat.
