| Today we went off on an all-day boat trip to visit some sights in Ao Pangh Nga, chief among them James Bond Island, so named by the farang and the tourist operators because "The Man With The Golden Gun" utilized this particular island for much of its location work. Most of us enjoyed the ride, and we got to see some truly spectacular natural formations. The kids also got to frolic on a deserted beach. Doreen and I went to pick up our custom-tailored outfits, too, and they came out beautifully. | |
