Similan Islands

Spent two days going north up the west coast of Thailand to Ban Thap Lamu 
where the Similan Island park headquarters is.  They have gotten too popular 
and you now have to get permission to go there.  We were greeted by a monkey 
drinking out of a bottle washed up on shore but we got our permission!
 After an all day sail we picked up a mooring ball by some big boulders that 
 remind me of the bath's in the BVI's and had a celebratory bottle of bubbly
 The Similan Islands are advertised as the best diving that Thailand has to offer.  
It was OK but not that impressive
 Also did some snorkeling and I took photos while Noelle pulled the dingy along
It's nice having the dingy with us in case we get caught by some strong current
 On the main island there is a big rock and viewing area that is a popular hike
