Boy and Jeri are now back in Ubon (Jeri's got to be back to teaching on Monday) and Jim and I have moved on down the coastline to a terrific resort that's only been open 1 1/2 years. Unfortunately, they opened right when the economy went south but that means good Agoda.com rates for us!! The tourist industry is really hurting right now in Thailand. This is the peak of the season and there are no crowds to be found. So tough for so many.
They're supposed to be just 1 1/2 hours south of Hua Hin but it took us 3 hours to find them last night.
The first photo is our "villa" -- a glamorous beach hut with thatched roof but AC and other conveniences! Charming, clean, classy, ...
Notice the hanging basket? It's a trash/rubbish bin!! Clever, aye? And get a look at our bathroom shower -- under the stars in a lovely private outdoor bathroom!
Jim's working today (but, hey ... if you have to work this is not a bad place to do it!). That's why I've had time to load blog photos. And we both squeezed in massages at the hotel's spa. Suffering, ... I know!!! :-0
It's hazy and a bit overcast today but, hopefully, you can see the ocean in two of the shots -- at the end of the trail, below, and in the shot with the Keeree Waree sign.
More pics will be taken ... for sure! We'll be here almost a week. Then, we'll be back in Ubon with Boy and Jeri for 2 weeks. Feeling blessed!

As always, I really enjoy looking through your travel pictures, Sharon. I can feel my little American world expanding as I enlarge the pictures and study them. Too many questions and comments come to mind, so I just don't say any - except...bee-you-tiful white flowers (what are they, please?) And, what in the WORLD is Boy eating in that bowl?
Zona,
Ask away on the questions. If you have some, I'm sure the "silent viewers" have the same questions, too!
Jeri can tell us the name of the jelly-like stuff he's eating. I can only tell you that it's very sweet and very disgusting! But Thais love it for dessert! Jerz?
And the white flower is an orchid. Aren't they lovely?? They're everywhere in Thailand!!!
It's called Yellie - like jelly but with a lazy j. :)
Thanks, Jeri - it totally had me baffled! Not even on the Food Network have I seen such food. And Sharon - thanks for the green light! I'll be askin'...
It is weird! It's one thing that I haven't adjusted to and always pass on! :)
