We had a full week off work for the Thai new year - Songkran - and went on a road trip with our friends Adam and Wara. We left from Bangkok on Friday night at midnight and drove about 12 hours down to Khao Lak - a popular nature preserve and beach town north of Phuket. We spent a few days here before driving a couple more hours to Phuket and spending a few days there exploring the huge island. It's been an absolutely amazing holiday and we're heading back to Bangkok tonight to get settled in before starting work again on Monday. Here is a photo diary of our trip.

| Sand crabs make their holes by tossing out these little sand balls in often impressive patterns. They're so tiny, too! |

| It's a stuffed omelette... |
 |
| ...Stuffed with pad thai! Heavenly. |

| The sign welcomes you without admitting the cape is still a distant, steep and winding journey away. |
