Sea Kayaking

After my fruit and yoghurt breakfast I went down the beach to hire a sea kayak (2.5hours 200baht) It was a great day for it, a light breeze and the sun shining. I headed out to a small rock sticking out of the ocean on the edge of the bay and circled it to get a look at the birds and crabs then headed towards the other side of the bay (the end I was staying) and around the point where I stopped at a tiny beach. It was rocky but the water very clear and lots of crabs everywhere.


By this time I was getting quite hot and knew I had a long way to go to get home so I headed back, the wind had picked up quite a bit and my nice breeze turned into a head-on wind as I aimed for the beach. It took a while to get back but felt good to be out on the water and using my muscles!! I drank more than 3 litres of water before lunch too!! Lunch as it happens was absolutely brilliant, red curry chicken on rice at Baan Suan. Then dinner that night was fried seabass with a crunchy garlic pepper topping. I will be sad to leave this place!

This is the view from my part of the beach into the bay, you can see the rock
I kayaked around in the distance (not the far distance!)
