Thailand Part 12 - Trust Your Gut in Koh Phanang

Monday, March 16th

Good Morning
The plan for the day was to check out the secret beach, only accessible by boat or foot. Kimber had heard rumors about the "moderate" hike from Haad Khom to Bottle Beach. "Oh, it's just up the hill and around the corner, I'm sure flip flops are fine." Oh, how naive we were. While it was no week-long Grand Canyon hike, this was a very strenuous hike, made 10x more difficult by our inadequate footwear.

Treking up the mountain in flip flops. Nobody is happy here.

After fresh coconuts, lunch, swimming in the ocean, and napping on the beach. We're all smiles on the boat back to our beach.
