I don't remember exactly where I found (stole) this picture of Railay, but it's a good one and taken from an angle you don't usually see:

Thanks to whoever took it. If it's yours email me and I'll give you full credit.

Those longtails don't just fix themselves, ya know:

Thanks to Makut for the picture.

I've gotten several emails wondering why I post pictures of other people but don't post any of myself. Ok then, here's one of me soaking up the banyagot in my usual chair on Ting Rai Beach, and for some reason not looking too fat:

Here's a sweet shot of Magic Beach, taken a couple weeks after the tsunami.

Here's a nice picture of Billee's sidekick (whose name I have forgotten). Peace to you too, my friend.

Clowning around in the longtails, waiting waiting waiting for the Golden Queen to show up and take everybody to Krabi.

This picture is from Nadia's 4th Gallery, which I created yesterday. Thanks for the great pix Nam-Nam.

Sunset, Koh Pu 2005

I met Carola (Germany) and Family on Andaman Beach. They were nice enough to let me take their picture.

While you're visiting don't forget to take a look at Anders' fabulous tsunami pictures that he took from the top of Mt. Pu on Boxing Day, 2004.

Nice shot of Magic Beach, Koh Pu.

The lovely Myrto sent me this superb beach/sea/cloud shot she took at Ting Rai Bay in January, 2006. They don't get much better than this one.

Thanks, darlin'. Send me some more, will ya'?  =)

I swear...the Thais can sleep anywhere!! Here's John snoozing between two chairs at Ting Rai Bay, from February 2004:

This picture makes my back hurt just looking at it...

Yet another sunset, this time thru the trees at Ting Rai Bay:

A total of 382 images are up over on my travel site. For the time being it's not 56K friendly.

Except for some minor tweaking, it's complete.

Well today is KJO.com's very first birthday. I can think of no better way to celebrate than with a cake surrounded by sock monkeys:

We've come a long way. The site has seen upwards of 40,000 visitors, with Anders' tsunami wave pictures getting over 100,000 hits. I'm happy with the way things have turned out and I am certain KJO.com will continue to improve with age. I know it's been fun for me.

Big thanks to everybody who has cruised thru and contributed pictures in order to make this the #1 site for Koh Jum information. Enjoy the cake.

And here's a happy little fella, just crawling on a hut and hanging out.
