Thailand Pets and other Friends

I love animals and we were all set in this photo to go on the "Flight of the Gibbons.."
We saw a couple on the roadside, but otherwise, I think we were suppose to be the monkey's.

 

Harnessed up with the other ladies and all ready to go.

I chickened out..

It was so high up in those tree tops.

BUT, I met a lovely guide who sat and talked with me while we waited the two hours for the ladies to return.

His name is Gon.

Gon is 28yrs old and was very open to learn more about Jesus.

We had a lovely discussion and time together.

I believe God planned this.

Please pray for him to grow in Gods love and knowledge.

We went to see the elephants..

will live in safety and be at ease, 

without fear of harm."

Thailand Visit.

Thailand and the East, is unique, and very different to the western world.
It's great for a holiday and a change.

In The Arms Of an Angel - Sarah McLaughlin

This song reminds me of my daughter-in-law, Cassie.
She has a beautiful voice and sang it in a talent quest, and won!!

I am in a hotel room in Thailand and unwell with chills and runny nose and eyes.
Ray has gone to golf, at my request.
The Thai people are friendly and kind..BUT, they lie easily, and smile as they do..
Perhaps that is Hindu or Buddhist? it is not Christ.
Only satan is the father of liars. There is no way to say this kindly.

Praise God he is ever here with me, and the angels comfort at His request.
Much love to all.

Na Muang Waterfalls

Na Muang Waterfalls, a set of two waterfalls, are the finest natural scenery on Samui island. The waterfalls are located just 10 kms south of Nathon near Ban Thurian.

The first level of Na Muang Waterfalls is 18 m high and tourists can easily take a vehicle to reach there as it is at the end of the road. The second level of falls is about 80 m high and a 30 minute walk is the only way to reach them. The second level is less frequently visited even though they are arguably the prettiest falls on the island and worth the walk. If you prefer to experience the elephant ride into the forest, Na Muang Safari located at the cross roads and can take you for a wild ride.

The Laem Sor Pagoda

The pagoda is located on the grounds of Laem Sor Temple at Samui island, Thailand. It sits magnificently at the rocks on the water's edge. It is covered in countless small yellow tiles, which appear golden when viewed from a short distance. At the far south of the island off the 4170 road between Ban Tale and Ban Page Ka, you can reach the temple by following the track with a sign that reads "Waikiki Bungalow."

Samui Island

Samui Island or Ko Samui is the largest of a group of nearly 100 tropical islands in the Gulf of Thailand along the east coast of Surat Thani Province. These islands are known as the Samui archipelago. The most phenomenally famous tourist destinations, attracting a wide range of visitors from all over the world, are the three largest islands: Samui, Phangan, and Tao. Long sandy beaches, green mountainous interiors, colorful coral reefs, a warm tropical climate and an easy-going people with a ready smile clearly define Samui's appeal.

Some 1,500 years ago Samui was probably first inhabited by fishermen using the island as a base to fish its rich waters. The island was first officially recorded on a Ming Dynasty map from China in approximately 1,500 AD. Many immigrants from Hunan have settled in the northern villages of Nathon and Maenam. Muslim fishermen settled in the South and East and Huan Thanon is still a strong Muslim enclave. During the 17th to 18th centuries the islands came under the rule of Nakhon Si Thammarat which at that time was the main power in southern Thailand. Eventually it came under the direct rule of the Siamese from Bangkok in the late 18th century, but Samui and other islands have always been essentially self-governing. By the end of the 19th century, the remote communities had been established and word of the beautiful islands in the Gulf of Thailand was already seeping through to the greater Thai country. After the Second World War, Thailand became more economically sophisticated and natural products such as timber, rubber and fruit became tradable commodities. These fertile islands were important for the plantations of coconuts which began to assume economic value to the country. Then the backpackers arrived and gradually tourism began to dominate the island economically and socially.

Ko Samui, the third largest island of Thailand and thelargest in the southeast in the Gulf of Thailand, is surrounded with almost a hundred islands. The main islands, which are all near Samui Island and are inhabited, are Phangan, Tao and Tan Islands. Samui Island is 247 sq km It is full of tropical jungle and mountains up to 600 m high and is covered by almost 3 million coconut trees, some over 160 years old and 35 m tall.

Ko Nang Yuan

Ko Nang Yuan is a group of three islands northwest of Ko Tao. The pretty little islands are interconnected by a long sandy beach. The long stripe of smooth white sand can be explored on foot.

The beaches on the islands are undisturbed and quiet, and they are all clean. The highlight of Nang Yuan is the beautiful scenery of the underwater world. The most magnificent and deepest spot is called Kohng Hin Nang Yuan which has unspoiled and untouched coral reefs. 

Nang Yuan is also good for snorkeling. Just 10 m away from the shore, the deepwater coral reefs and marine life are clearly seen in the transparent blue seas and the bright sun. The stunning view of a panoramic scene of the sandy beach that links all three islands together can be reached by a 50 m staircase.

There is one bungalow resort on Nang Yuan with a full range of facilities for your convenience, but the price is quite expensive, ranging from 1,200 to 3,500 baht. From Ko Tao's pier there is a long tailed boat to Nang Yuan for the price of 100 baht, from 8.00 am - 4.00 pm.
