Anthong National park, Thailand

 After a stop for some snorkelling our boat went on to the island with a lagoon high up in a crater. The walk up was steep...

Seems to be a bit of a theme for our Koh Samui break.

 The "short cut"

The view was worth the hike.

 The tour guides were very keen to help and climbed the gazebo to get this great shot for us.

 This very green lagoon was very high up in the centre of the island. It is salt water.

 One of the slow boats. When choosing a boat, either high speed or one of these slow ones, look carefully at the weather for the day. A fast boat is great on a calm day but slams around a lot on choppy surf. The slow boats don't get anywhere near as much time at each location.

 Some wonderful sights in the Anthong National Park, Thailand. This one is called Monkey Island, probably because of the side-on view of a... monkey.

After some kayaking around one of the small islands. This was the last activity of the day before the hour and a half return journey. Lunch was had earlier in the gazebos just visible behind. Nothing was rushed, making for a very pleasant day.
