Last few days…in Thailand

After leaving tranquil Tan Nai Pan beach and skimming across the channel in the speed boat back to Koh Samui we had only four more nights at our sweet Saree Samui resort.  They were gearing up for Chinese New Year. 

The staff really worked hard all that day to create a fun party on the beach. They hung red lanterns, prepared a big dinner with all kinds of dim sum, salads, curries and fresh caught prawn, red snapper, barracuda and blue crab. Sweet sticky rice and mango for dessert.  The entire staff wore red shirts. 

Fortunately the weather complied and the wind died down and the skies cleared.  Everyone was in a happy mood. The best part was the launching of the fire lanterns into the sky. We set a couple dozen aloft and they floated up to form a small constellation. 

Made a wish for the new year.
