Trip and Thailand Update

We are on the beach at Ko Tao Resort on Koh Tao in Thailand.  Went swimming in the ocean this morning and just back from sandwich and fresh fruit smoothie down the road.  Staying in out of the hot hot mid day sun.  Reading and watching TV.  We plan to go swim again this evening then walk down the beach to eat later.  Plan to fit in a massage soon.  
Below are some photos.
First is the beautiful Reclining Buddah in Bangkok.
An elephant in Nepal at Chitwan.  He is reaching out to me for a tip that he would pass up to the guy on his back.  Elephants standing over you wanting money are quite effective in having their way!  
Buddhist students at a monastery in Nepal during a ceremony in a temple.  
Next are some photos from the time We spent  touring the ruins at Ayutthaya, the capital of ancient Siam.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayutthaya_Kingdom  the photos of the old Buddha and the Buddah head in the tree roots.  

Next are photos of the resort we are in right now. Below is one of two pools but the ocean is the best. The overnight train to get down here was not so good.  This is the first of four islands we will be spending time on between now and Dec 2nd when we go back into India.   

Then one of our favorite places was the floating resort on the River Kwai in the jungle without electricity.  At night - Just the sound of the river current and the jungle around us.
