A dog on Ao Chao Phao Beach on Koh Phangan, Thailand

After island hopping around Southern Thailand for a while, we finally found our perfect tropical island beach getaway on Ao Chao Phao Beach on Koh Phangan. Although the beach isn’t that great for swimming as the water isn’t very deep, it’s great to just laze around in, and when the tide goes out each day you can walk right out to explore some rock pools. From the first day that we were there, this dog accompanied us out on our walks, and he soon became a great friend during our stay on Koh Phangan.
