Snorkelling in the Similans


with several sets of rather insular swedes...

no underwater pictures, but a few of peachy islands and beaches, and one of me. I swam with a turtle, saw all sorts of fishes and coral including giant triggerfish, rabbitfish, oriental sweetlips, parrotfish, angelfish, snapper, needlefish, moray eel, and a black and white seasnake that is supposed to have one of the most poisonous venoms in the world. The sand is so incredibly fine on the beaches, apparently as a result of a parrotfish eating the coral and processing it out as fine sand. photos are of the viewpoint on similan island no 8, above, then views FROM that viewpoint: one of the beach as swedish girl steps into picture; one of sunset; and finally, on the last day, Jonny wins wet t-shirt comp.
