Ko Phnagan - Bottle Beach

We find ourselves in the closest thing we've been to paradise: Bottle Beach in Ko Phnagan Thailand. Ko Phnagan is one of the three islands off the Southeastern peninsula of Thailand. The smaller Ko Toh is to the north, which is primarily a diving and snorkeling destination. To the south is the similarly large sized island of Ko Samui, known more for its package tourism and family resorts. We took a ferry here after almost two full days of traveling from the north (Chiang Mai). The ferry took us to the port in the southwest of the island, and we took a taxi up to the northern coast. From there, we paid a local man to take us by boat around a curve in the island to a place called Bottle Beach. It's a very small beach that can only be reached by boat. If you get a chance, google image it. It's incredible. The only downside is it's isolation makes everything more expensive (internet, food, etc.) Still not that bad compared to back home. Mike took a boat to the nearest town yesterday, where there was a 7 Eleven. We stocked up on basic necessitites (bread, jelly, water, candy, etc.) That's allowed us to save some money. We've been here about 3 days, and might stay for another 3 more. Then we'll have to start thinking about leaving Thailand and making the final push to Singapore, where we will finally make our way back home. Hope all is well back home with everyone!
