Dispatch #13: Thai keyboards are easier than Japanese keyboards

Carolyn and I have spent the past few days on the island of Koh Mak, in the easter Gulf of Thailand. Virtually everywhere we've been on this and the surrounding islands looks like a movie set. Blue ocean, white sand beaches, palm trees, etc. It rains a lot, but the rains are very predictable and tend to stop from mid-morning to late afternoon, which is kinda perfect.

Today, we took a boat (it's technical classification is probably "dinghy") to the neighboring island, Koh Kahm to go snorkeling. It was pretty fantastic. Although, I should note that I've never snorkeled before, so my standards might not be reliable. In other generic news, the people here are just as friendly as the guidebooks promised and the food is consistently excellent.

And now, I'm headed back to the cabin for a much-needed shower. We only have cold water on the island, so I'm really looking forward to a hot shower in Bangkok tomorrow. The result of the combination of salt water, cold showers, and curly hair is something slightly less than attractive.
