Paradise Shlep

We are in Koh Tao now, a secluded beach in Thailand. And when i say secluded, I mean it. First a Flight to koh samui, which is really out of the way, then a shuttle to the ferry pier, then a 2 hour ferry to the island. 

The airport was the cutest thing ever. Basically a thatched hut. We were greeted on the runway (no jet bridges here, obviously) by these adorable shuttles. Note our colorful Bangkok Airways plane in the background. My new favorite airline, btw. Free lounge access on ALL flights - yes, please! 

Ferry pier:

Here is where we were on the ferry:

For perspective:

You have to be really committed to get to this island, which keeps the tourists under control for the most part. But it is worth the wait. Our beach:

What we just ate at our cabana:

View from our restaurant at dinner last night:

Basically, this is the coolest place ever and we want to quit our jobs, cash out our 401ks and open a bar on the beach. Sigh. More on Koh Tao later. Also we will post on Myanmar and Chiang Mai.
