Schnee Vogel

I am not sure if the Germans actually use this phrase in the same way that the Canadians do, but we are surrounded by them here at Nang Thong.

On day one, we woke as the first rays of sunshine lit the tops of the trees on the beach front. I could hear people outside and as I looked down on them from the balcony of our beachfront bungalow, there they were laying out their towels to book up all the loungers and deck chairs - just like the Canadians in Costa Rica and Mexico.

Some are short term visitors like ourselves but others have been here for the entire northern winter – given the skin tones which range from antique Pine to Walnut.
It is also clear that a substantial number of the men would have benefited from Linda's advice to leave the Speedos at home. 

Green Beach has been a good place to start our trip here and Nang Thong has every service you could need -however it is very busy and we are already planning a move further north to Ko Ra and the Ecolodge whch is the only place to stay on the island.
