Yesterday was an important day in Thailand,the ninth day of the ninth month of 2009.
With the belief that the number nine is very lucky and especially yesterday with the combination of all those nines the day could be deemed to be really lucky for any new babies born on that day or anyone wishing to start a new venture or business;Tata Young the Thai pop star launched her new album at the Don Muang Airport;which had been shut down especially for Tata.

There also was a celebration of the release of the remastered Beatles albums;and the number nine plays its part on the Beatles album 'Abbey Road'where the last ends with the number nine continually being repeated.

Krabi/Phi Phi Island

Last week with Alicia went to Krabi and also did a speedboat trip to Phi Phi Islands and Bamboo Island doing lots of swimming and snorkelling.It was nice to visit Maya Bay again but the place was over run with boats and tourists one of the beach was completely full of tourists.
Did the climb to the Viewpoint;it was woth the climb for the death defying view looking down on the island!However,the climb down to the Lagoon was more difficult because of the slippery muddy conditions and the jagged rocks that had be navigated so I only reached the second to last stage of getting to the Lagoo.About half the people who attempted the climb were brave enough to go all the way down to the Lagoon.Oh well! the next time;I was too tired from all the swimming and snorkelling to go right down to the end.
