We have been at the beach for 10 nights on the last leg of our trip. We have a beautiful air con villa with own pool and are right next door to an elephant sanctuary. My travel post is on my other blog CLICK HERE.
I was on a waiting list with the library ⁰to borrow the Kindle version of The Dressmaker of Dachau: How lucky that it became available whilst lounging at the beach!
Its an absolutely brilliant novel about a London dressmaking apprentice who ends up as a prisoner in Nazi Germany and is taken to the house of the commander of Dachau concentration camp where she becomes dressmaker to the German elite for the duration of WW2.
There are signs for Tsunami evacuation around the hotel. This is because in 2004 the last Tsunami to hit this coast claimed so many thousands of lives, they had never experienced this before and now have procedures in place for early warning.
There has been brief. heavy rain in Kao Lak the last few days for an hour or two , but there's always the beach bar, the elephant sanctuary next door (been twice), the sea and our villa if we need to dry off.
I'm not good at outfit posing but had to give this pretty kaftan some adoration, .monsoon, chiffon, very floaty!
Enjoying our last couple of days before heading home, here's some pics of the amazing food we have been tucking in to!
Weather has been in the 30s in this part of Thailand so not much clothing required, mostly kaftans and swimwear...
My crocs have been the most worn suitcase item!
I've just finished reading a book from the hotel library which was spellbinding right to the end, a murder mystery:
There has been heavy rain but usually only for a few hours , it's the beginning of the rainy season. We have a few more days and can swim in the sea in the rain so no problem!
Update: last day in Kao Lack there was torrential rain, we left 4 pm for phuket airport and the roads were flooded, poor visibility. The monsoon has started! We got home safely but tired after about 16 hours in total including 2 long flights.
