Checked into Thailand Tuesday January 10 – some 20 days since checking out of Langkawi. I anticipated the question from the Thai immigration as to my whereabouts since checking out of Malaysia saying; small boat and bad weather over Christmas. I had been given the tip by Juliet from Que Pasa to log into the new Thai check program. The navigation was a little difficult at first. I’d have to say it saved me a great deal of time filling a heap of paper work when it came to checking in.
After checking in at Ao Chalong I returned to Ban Nit being a quieter, or so I thought, anchorage in the north east monsoon. .
I met the people from the following boats and it was not necessarily quieter – it was great fun though. I hope my liver will forgive me if it survives the experience.
