Easter on Koh Ngai

Last weekend we flew down to Krabi and made our way to Koh Ngai, a small  island off the southwestern coast of Thailand in the Andaman Sea. We stayed in a bungalow on the beach and spent the holiday weekend swimming and lounging under an umbrella. The sun was intense and our white bodies turned a bit pink despite having constantly slathered ourselves with sunscreen. I’m pretty sure we will need to invest in superior sunscreen before returning to the beach in a couple of weeks. That, or I’m going to start sporting a WholesomeWear swimsuit (thanks to my sister for discovering this due to her perhaps unhealthy fascination with the Duggar Family)…. or not. I’ll try my luck with a sarong.

Me, my stomach, mismatched bikini, sunburn, and the view.

We went snorkeling in the afternoon on Easter and nibbled on some peanut M&Ms that Corey was able to locate to partake in the age old tradition of promoting rapid tooth decay and diabetes for the holiday. That evening we ate some tasty seafood barbecue for dinner and called it a day.

Fish!

Pretties. (Corey has a shirt tied around his head in an attempt to protect his neck from the sun)

On Tuesday morning we left our little beach paradise to make our way to the southern city of Hat Yai, where Corey met up with colleagues to begin their crazy week of shrimp farm visits. I stayed in the city for a day before flying back home to Bangkok.
