Very happy to be safely in Phuket
We decided to wait out the rest of the wet season on dry land in Koh Yao Noi.
A bit of luxury in a house with a magnificent view.

We were loving the island of Koh Yao Noi so much that we committed to renting a local house long term.

One of my fondest memories is doing yoga on a secluded beach with the tide lapping at my toes and The Doctor resting peacefully at anchor in the distance.
A happy gathering of friends.
