Day 346 – Monday March 31, 2008 – Koh Sukhorn, Thailand
Editor’s Note: For more photos from Koh Sukhorn take a look at our other post from this fabulous island!
It rained very hard for much of Sunday night. In fact, upon emerging from our bungalow on Monday morning, we discovered that the once dry field across from our hotel had suddenly turned into a lake. The water buffalos that occupy said field seemed to be happy, because they moaned and made noises all day long. It was like a water buffalo choir!

Since the air conditioning in our bungalow didn’t turn back on until 6pm and the entire resort had no power from 2pm to 6pm, going inside wasn’t much of an option given the
Tomorrow we head back to the mainland where we will push on to Krabi. While in Krabi we plan to tour some of the surrounding islands before moving on the Phuket for some more beach time. With the weather here being so hot, taking a dip is probably the only sane thing to do.
