Of course taking a beach vacation is much cheaper in Asia, but sometimes that means you have to travel in a more budget way. So in order to save money we took a flight to Bangkok, then took the underground transport to the bus company for $3 total. When we got to the company at 6pm we had to wait to load our overnight bus at 8pm. Prestons biggest entertainment at this point was the rat that kept creeping out. The picture below is a BAD pic. of our friendly rat that was more the size of a small cat.
By 8:30 we were ready to load our bus that cost us about $6 per person to ride for 8 hours to the coast. Preston slept the whole way. He really is an AMAZING traveler. Although no matter how amazing there is always some eventful travel story to be told when a 3 year old is around. This came about 3am when he peed in his pants while on the bus fast asleep. Luckily I never travel without another change or 2 of clothes. Problem solved.
We arrived at the coast around 5 or 6 am. Preston was sleeping so we carried him to a seat where we had to wait for daylight to come. This boat was to take us to our island and cost a total of $40 for the whole family to go. In total to get to our island it took 19 hours and less than a $90 for the whole family to travel.
Loading our boat to the island we were all hungry, dirty, and tired, but really excited to start our vacation.
After 2 hours on our boat we arrived at blue water and a 13 square mile island where we called home for 9 nights. It was PARADISE. So enough about how we got there, soon I'll post some of the fun things we did while there
