Well; it’s time for a bit of a recap on the past year. It seems most places I go there are beaches. They are almost always spectacular. And most are close to home.

But let’s start with one across the other side of Thailand from me. This one is Khao Lak, and being on the west coast it gets spectacular sunsets. As you can probably see, it’s the one featured at the top of the blog…

In July I headed about 300kms south to Songkhla. Not to look at beaches, but as I say, they’re hard to miss. Here’s a couple from that trip…

Closer to home, the next one is Nangkam Beach, not far from the Don Sak Ferry Terminal, which is where you would find yourself if you are crossing to Koh Samui by boat. I managed to catch it as the sun was setting behind the hill…

And then much closer to home, one of my favorite shots, is from the balcony at Horizons Bar and Restaurant, about 20kms south of me…

About an hour north is Leam Prathap. Their beach is tiny but spectacular. It looks better when the tide is in, but these are not bad…

I mustn’t miss out Khanom since I will probably be living there in a couple of months from now. One of the nicest views is from the Khanom Hillside Resort…

Plus; I can’t ignore my local beaches here in Sichon. Here’s a couple from my huge selection…

Did you play count the tourists?

Next, I think it will be some mountain photos.
