» 'Koh Taoism': Conservation Initiatives Involving Travellers And Divers
'Koh Taoism' is an initiative by local businesses to preserve Koh Tao and its reefs and lessen the environmental impact of tourism on the island. The slogan hasn't yet made it onto the web, but if you visit the island you can't miss it.
Most of the
» Libong Dugongs Aerial Survey
Research on the dugongs of Libong is ongoing, with another aerial survey completed. It's odd that the Professor didn't tell me about it since his Lifelong Learning Foundation has co-funded some of the research.
In fact it's a long-term project. The cur
» Extraordinary Measures
As far as I could tell, the suit fitted perfectly. John shrugged into the jacket and turned, looking over his shoulder, when a pained expression crossed his face.
"What is it?" the Tailor asked.
"Not enough, er—" he indicated his crotch, "—b
» Had Chao Mai National Park: Crowded Paradise
I was already aching at the prospect of returning to bustling Bangkok and—all too soon—head for home, so signing up for the daytrip had been a good idea.
"Which island is it going to?," I asked when I signed the receipt. I was surprise
» Trang: Morning Musings
(Entries will be backdated as they appear, so scroll down. The dugong entries are coming soon!)
Today I thought I'd engage in an act of mass tourism, since is was my last full day in Trang.
The day trip to the Hat Chao Mai National Park, taking
» Ko Libong: Future Research?
All good things come to an end, but there was no hair-rising scooter ride up-and-down slippery slopes at the end of my stay on Libong. Instead I split a longtail directly from the Nature Resort to Had Yao with the nice Swedish family who had enabled me to
» Different Things To Do In Thailand: Build A Rainforest Camp!
A large part of Ko Libong is covered with rainforest, which is protected under the 'no hunting zone'. On my first day at the Nature Resort I decided to go for a walk up the hill at its back. The path let through fields and a rubber plantation, one of
» Newsflash
I've found my animal.
If I want a three months volunteer position to carry out research on the dugongs off Libong, it's mine (!)
Normal service will resume shortly.
» Ko Libong: Crab Capital Of Thailand
Something clattered across the floor. A shell with legs protruding from it like a grotesque fist. Simon picked the thing up by its tip.
"This was right among the kittens!"
He pointed it towards the Swedes, who recoiled from the menacing pincer
» Dugong Tour
"Your new life begins tomorrow," the Professor said.
We were in the bar, listening to the briefing he gave us about the tour.
"Seeing a dugong brings luck. Your life will change. Things are not the same afterwards..."
We were about to ask h
» Girl's Own Adventure: Kayak Survey
On the map at reception, the the dugong habitat looked to be around the corner from the Libong Nature Beach Resort, clearly marked in the bay off Na Barn village. I paddled into the calm morning with optimism, but when I reached the outcrop of rocks
» Libong: Wildlife
It was a moonless night and there is no electricity on Libong after midnight. But the bathroom attached to my bungalow was impeccably clean, so I thought that the dark shadows scuttling around on the floor must be my imagination.
I felt my way care
» The Necessary Means
It appears that most people do not come to Ko Libong to see the dugongs, which is a relief as I had visions of hordes of boats chasing the few remaining animals across the sea grass beds where they are trying to feed.
On the other hand it made it d
» Eco-Tourism: The Element Of Guilt
It was a little early for lunch but I felt peckish, so I stopped at the village of Lang Kow for some chilled soy milk and peanuts.
I bought the soy milk because it came in a glass bottle, remembering the Professor's disdain for plastic. Perhaps the
» Dugongs Of Libong: Orientation
The Libong Dugong resort comprises a fetching row of palm-thatch bungalows lining the beach, and they could still fit me in for 400 baht a night. However I had made a mistake in my choice of accommodation. They didn't know anything about the dugongs.
