36 hours in Koh Yao Noi

It's a few days since am back. Usually I have words before flight and after I return. This is supposed to be that.

To start with I didn't know I was going to Koh Yao Noi, the second of the islands off of Phuket. All I knew was that we (Pradeep and I) were going to Bangkok for 4 days. The excitement was in not planning at all and putting ourselves in a random unknown travel situation where every hour is determined by randomness and randomness only. As for Pradeep, he didn't know that we were traveling at all until the evening of 31st (the night of our travel).

Koh Yao Noi and Koh Yao Yai were apparently split by the Naga dragon that was racing to meet its separated lover in Krabi. Has a population of 13k and some of the most beautiful views, beaches, mountains, lagoons, islands ever. More later.

As with most of my travels, I had minimal thoughts. Just some feelings of missing home. And given the high wire day we had the day of our return, I was simply relieved to be back in time for Ahaan's birthday.
