Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia. So overloaded on colonial architecture, the American War on communism, & temples/palaces. In Thailand, I guess the north is a big tourist spot for hilltribe trekking, but I didn't really feel like staring at villagers like they're in a zoo, so we just headed to the beach.

It is beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! (sorry i don't have pics up yet...)

Yes, it's touristy & over-developed & over-hyped, but I've never seen beaches this gorgeous before. Koh Pha Ngan on the Gulf of Thailand & Koh Phi Phi on the Andaman Sea. Clear turquoise water, soft white sand, pink sunrises & sunsets. So nice.

But then you get a little too sunburned & it's time to move on. Hello Malaysia!

Koh Pha Ngan

If you think Koh Pha Ngan is overdeveloped, you should've seen Chaweng Beach on Koh Samui. What struck me most about Pha Ngan were the signs at the restaurants telling people to please not ask about where and how to purchase drugs. Luckily it was a little before the Full Moon Festival, so I managed to bugger out back to Koh Samui ahead of the real craziness.
