We have now been in Ao Nang an entire week. We spent the week soaking up the sun, picking up a few souvenirs, watching a little HBO (a treat to have TV-and an English channel to bout), basically we have just enjoyed being free of any schedule or stress for 8 days. We have achieved a nice level of bronze on our bodies (no longer standing out as the ghostly-white Canadians) and since our 30-day tourist visas for Thailand are up in a couple days, we will to fly to Kuala Lumpur. We hadn’t planned on travelling to Malaysia on this trip but it seems most logical as Airasia offers very reasonably priced flights and it will save us time and $$ in the long run. We have booked into a guesthouse in China town and will be staying in the city for 4 nights before we fly to Phnom Pehn on the 7th of March.
