Songkran Break: Koh Kood

I am starting to think maybe our adventures our not just due to us living in Thailand, but perhaps we are a little jinxed (or destined).  Everything always seems to work out, but the process leaves us stories to tell.

This vacation would be no different. To make a long story short, we had ended up adding two unplanned nights to our trip and almost didn't make it to Koh Kood. But, the island was worth it all and the resort made vacationing with children easier.

All there is on Koh Kood is small resorts, clear water and white sand. It has yet to be hit by BIG named hotels, there is no town/city and the first paved road was in the process of being built while we were there. It is not a place you go to looking for action. It is a place you go to lay in the sun and relax with a dip in the water to cool down.

We stayed at a resort called "The Beach" with our neighbors from home. It has little tiny bungalows nestled into the jungled hill. The best part of the place was the beach. Perfect for children and adults. I could relax in the sun while Liam and Amelia played near by in the calm water. We ate great seafood, the kids loved being with friends and Koh Kood is another place on my list that I want to return to.

Clear, warm water.

Oh yeah, there is also a waterfall on the island.

Nightly sunsets.

Sunglasses are a must. 

An attempt for a family picture.  Why is it so hard for all four of us to smile at once?

Liam turned two on this trip.  Here he is showing his "two".  He is getting so big/.
