After a night stay at a Swedish guesthouse in Phuket, our ears were clear enough to fly to Trat via Bangkok. Our flight from Bangkok to Trat was quite delayed, so we decided to stay one night in Trat before taking the ferry to Ko Chang.
We stayed at Pop's Guesthouse in Trat. It was really quite lovely. The owners were extremely helpful and made everything so easy.
The next morning Billy had a Thai massage while I relaxed a bit. My plans of relaxing in an air conditioned cafe were bunked due to a neighborhood blackout (caused by some fire related activity a few doors down, but we only saw fire engines, never smoke). We then took the ferry over to the island.
While waiting for a taxi to take us to the resort, the clouds rolled in, thunder began to roar and soon a DELUGE began. We were seated in the back of a taxi-truck... so 12 people in the back of a truck w/ luggage, with the people seated nearest the front getting soaked from rain coming through the area between the windshield and the roof/canopy, and the people seated at the back getting soaked from rain off the roof! We were seated in the middle, so we didn't get that wet. But it was amazing!
We settled into Penny's Guesthouse and had a dip in the lovely pool before getting some dinner and heading to bed.
