Below is a view of how the jetty in Ton Sai Bay on Koh Phi Phi Don used to look. The crystal clear aqua water looks so inviting. This is a view to the south-west so looking at the way the sunlight plays on the limestone hills in the background, I would have taken this later in the afternoon.

Across the isthmus from Loh Dalam Bay on Koh Phi Phi Don is Ton Sai Bay. The water here is deeper so has a richer blue color when viewed from a height and a more vivid aqua color when viewed from the beach. This image was more of a stretch so it's on the soft side but has almost a painterly feel to it. It's again taken from the lookout point on the eastern part of the island looking pretty much south-west.

Taken from the lookout on the eastern part of the island, the ship is beached on the sandy isthmus that joins the two parts of the island. The water here was really shallow - the two people on the right of the image are actually sitting down at this point, not standing. The varying depths of the water and the light ripples of the breeze driven waves are refracting the sunlight to give the rainbow effect of this image.

Loh Dalam Bay is on the north side of the sandy isthmus that connects the two limestone outcrops that form Phi Phi Don. This photo was taken from the lookout on the eastern half of the island. I'm guessing I used my Tamron 500mm mirror lens for this photo as it was the longest lens I owned at the time.

What do you do after a heavy storm? You mop up your courtyard, obviously (not). I was still bemused by what I was seeing, workers mopping up the rain soaked courtyard around the building housing the Emerald Buddha at the Wat Phra Kaew in Bangkok.

Today's photo is a wider shot of the scene I posted a couple of days back of storm clouds at the Wat Phra Kaew in Bangkok. The storm clouds are receding, the ground is starting to dry up and more people are out in the open, though many remain in the shelter of the pavilions.
