Southern Thailand

Here are some more shots from our visit to Southern Thailand.
I'm standing here with a team from The World Race, a ministry where folks visit 11 countries in 11 months. I'm exhausted just having visited two countries in three weeks! Great group of guys and gals, and we enjoyed hanging out with them.
Mountains shoot out of the beautiful Phangnga Bay which empties into the Pacific Ocean.

Our boat went through this opening under one of the mountains in the bay.


Ok, 007 movie fans, this is "James Bond Island" from The Man with the Golden Gun. It is actually pretty small. It is so small that it's official name is Ko Tapu or Nail Island.


We were driving down the road when all of the sudden we encountered this elephant trotting home, guided by his rider who is talking on a cell phone. (Thanks, Bri, for the great photo!)

I was blessed to participate in a mission to Thailand about 5 years ago. We also flew into Phuket, then drove to Kao Lak, boarded a ferry and crossed over to Koh Kho Khao, where we spent about 10 days. Part of our team was doing medical work and the rest of us were working on construction of a Children's Center. We were so blessed! It is a beautiful country and our experience with the people was much the same as yours. I'd go back at the first opportunity! Thanks so much for posting the wonderful photos and telling a little about your trip.
