Now we continue by boat from Koh Mak to Koh Kood - also a beautifully small island!

First, we stay in bungalows inland but often go to the beautiful Ao Tapao Beach.

where we enjoy the summer to the fullest!

We had a bigger shock moment too! Party-Peggy happened to follow us from Koh Mak, lives again in the same accommodation as us, and while we innocently cook hot pot, she naturally tells us her party stories for hours (luckily outside). The next news is that all of her festival friends are now COVID positive - and her test is positive too! We are incredibly relieved when our tests are negative - cheers to the booster shot and to not wanting to go to the electronic festival! We have enough fun with small things like scattered tinsel on the ground 😁

There is a free pedicure at Khlong Yai Ki Water Fall,

and of course, we have found plenty of animals to love and feed as always!

However, it is really annoying that street dogs go crazy on the islands from dusk and feel the need to defend their territory (which unfortunately often includes large parts of the island). It is not uncommon to get stuck because of 5 barking and aggressive dogs blocking the way!

Then we move on and spend the last nights at Ao Jark Beach. Beautiful bungalows on the calm beach, white sand, watermelon vodka and vodka soda, good food - it couldn't be better and we would all love to stay longer!

The host family is mega warm again, just like almost all Thais. Thai culture is really something: even if it might not always be meant that way and there is probably someone who gets annoyed, the respectful interaction characterized by friendly greetings, farewells, and thank-yous (whether in a restaurant, on the street, in a shop, in the hospital, or in a taxi) always gives a nice feeling and stodgy Germany could still learn a lot here!

In the end, it is difficult for all four of us to say goodbye - Coco and Andrea have to go back to the winter unfortunately. It was so cool ('It was soooo aaaaawesome, it was the most amaaaazing experience I have eeeever had in my entire life') to finally see each other again and to experience a wonderful vacation together as always!

We ❤ you!
