Lindsay and Ryan Do the World 2008/09

This is about the extent of our thai words we have learned.  LOL. It means Hello.  We also know Thank you (khaawp khoon kha).  We figured these are the most important ones to know.

Anyways, we rented a moped yesterday and drove around the island.  Our first stop was a waterfall.  Its in a National Park so we paid 100 baht a person and walked the 500 metres to the waterfall (Klong Phu).  It was a treacherous 500 metres.  We were thinking that they should warn you before you try this walk.  They even had ropes for you to use at some parts of the walk.  The waterfall wasn’t that magnificent because its the dry season but we swam in the gorge below it and that was soo nice!  So refreshing.  We stayed there for about an hour and then walked back out to our bike.  We drove south along the coast through some other small towns.  There were some crazy steep hills and curves.  I was terrified, hanging on for dear life to the back of Ryan. Ryan says he has nail indents on his stomach from me holding onto him so tight.  We only had one spill but no one lost any limbs. LOL.  We stopped at a few scenic lookouts over the town we are staying at and the ocean, with other small islands in the distance.  We got some really good pictures and video.

We have one more day on this island and then we spend one more day in Bangkok before we fly to Cairo. We have a lot to do in Bangkok.  We have to get almost all our souvenirs there because Bangkok has the best prices we have found.

Ryan and I have found another treat, which is WAY better than Dairy Queen!  Yes, way better, if you can believe that!  It is called a banana pancake!  We first came across this terrific treat in Bangkok but we have grown to love it in Koh Chang.  It is a crepe fried on a wok with cut up bananas cooked inside and then drizzled with condensed milk.  It is made by street vendors and they are only 20-30 baht each (.75-$1.00).  We are going to open up our own little kiosk when we get home and make millions! LOL!

 Anyways, we are off to get our treat!  Goodnight! 🙂
