Today, as we explored the mangroves of Trang, we learned the locals eat young mangrove tree leaves, usually as a condiment. However, Khun Prawes had the creative idea of serving them as tempura to pair with their whitefish sashimi, served more like a Ceviche. First time, now added to his 80/20 menu.

Today’s adventure in Trang was so incredible, I’m not posting details in the hopes of preserving it.

Warming waters and the planting of the wrong species of seagrass is taking a toll on the dugong herds.

Down to about 200 now. Moving north to Krabi at the moment, looking for seagrass.

Why fight it. Andalay’s pool bar named ‘Poo’s Bar’.

Andrew Clark @qandrew.bsky.social · 1d

It’s called ‘social media’.

Onwards! The Andaman will not devour us!

Not every guest. Not sure how it works. We were on an inspection trip and given the grand tour. Had breakfast with the GM. He surprised us as we were heading to the beach to get our departure boat.

Super cool resort farewell activity, planting a tree outside the room I stayed in. I will be back to check on its progress! #Sivilai #KohMook #Thailand

Good morning Koh Mook.

My trusty actual rain satellite app managed to allow us to plan around the storms. Had sunshine during most of the snorkeling. Got back to home island just before another storm.

Koh Ngai Viewpoint, Nui Beach. I appear to be smiling in that last photo, was actually gasping for breath. #Krabi

October is the rainiest month of the year in Thailand’s Andaman sea. Whatever you do, please stay away so we can enjoy it 🙂

Bye bye Pak Meng. #Trang

Things I learned on my way to breakfast this morning… hornbills are very quiet, they don’t announce themselves. You need to actively keep an eye out for them, they may be just overhead eating palm fruit. #Krabi

GOP self-projecting once again. Who is assassinating liberals and conservatives alike? Who is running around US cities masked and violently kidnapping people? Who is burning down homes of justices? Who is making inflammatory false accusations?

I don’t think Trump will last until January. He and his inner circle are incapable of leadership and resort to childish reactions to the growing resistance to their authoritarian regime.
