Summer 2007

06/12/07 Arrive at Singapore

06/12/07 to 06/17/07 (6 days): Meet up with BC, do stuff around Singapore, possibly going to Thailand. BC will figure out what we're going to do.

Things to do in Thailand:
Koh Samui:
Party island Ko Samui has long been the locale of choice for paradise-seeking voyagers of all stripes. Its turquoise waters and sun-bleached, sandy bays are lined with multiple bungalows and resorts, a plethora of restaurants to satisfy hungry epicureans, and thumping nightlife providing a soundtrack to the temperate, starry nights.

Thaleh Ban National Park:
This 196-sq-km park on the Thai-Malaysian border in southern Satun Province is home to one of Southeast Asia's best preserved sections of white meranti rainforest. Its hilly terrain includes caves, waterfalls, limestone cliffs and lake views, and is home to some rare and varied wildlife.

The largest nearby town is Satun, a 15-hour bus trip from Bangkok. You can get a taxi to the park entrance where you can then hitch or hop on one of the infrequent songthaews into the park. Once inside the park, you can camp or bunk at one of the longhouses situated on the shores of a large lake.
