After spending time at a home stay in Koh Klang with Pee Matt and Ja Muna, we got on the road and drove about 3 hours and a half, took about a 45 minute boat ride to Ko Phra Thong. A remote island in a town called Khura Buri. Once we got to the island, we had some trucks pick us up and take us to the resort.
At this point I was getting a lil used to the boats since we had to take them to get and leave Koh Klang, I was not ready for that 45 minute board ride to Khura Buri. I don’t think a lot of us were. I was a little nervous about being on a remote island like that for five days, but our resort and instructors helped me not feel so nervous.
We had some time to settle in and enjoy the beach all to ourselves. We were not ready for all the mosquitoes, lizards, and frogs.
We learned about turtles and the Indigenous peoples of the area. We were able to explore the museum. The peace and isolation is something I felt like I needed. Being surrounded by beaches and in our own little space. Now we’re getting ready to have our first city experience in Phuket.
