We were up and on the seas early this morning. We had a long sail because we were on the southeastern side of Koh Kut, the southern most island in the chain. I was very nervous because it looked really dark and stormy in the direction we were headed, but it turned out ok because the bad weather was moving north faster than we were. It actually was quite a nice motor sail. We pulled into a bay where a 6 star resort was located (I didn’t even know there was such a thing). We anchored and took our dinghy to the dock but we were not allowed onto the resort. We told them we wanted dinner reservations. They told us there was a buffet tonight for a mere $140/person. We said thanks but no thanks. Here’s a video about the resort, https://www.cnn.com/videos/travel/2018/10/23/soneva-kiri-resort-thailand-koh-kood.cnn.
We pulled up the anchor and went south around the corner, just about a 30 minute motor, to Captain Hook’s and had a nice lunch there. We decided we wanted to comeback to Koh Mak so that we could go to the national park the next morning for some snorkeling. The seas were calm and the wind was coming across our beam so we had a nice sail. I even turned off the autopilot and steered. We got to Koh Mak and set our anchor. We had a long sail today. We ate dinner on the boat and had a quiet evening.
