Just got back from 2.5 weeks in SE Asia and the best vacation EVER! Thanks in part to some great advice I received on this forum.
We only had one problem the whole time, Bangkok Airways lost (but later found) our luggage en route to Phuket. It happens.
I think it was one of the admins here that recommended the Similana Resort in Khao Lak. Excellent suggestion. It's a beautiful private resort and we had a very nice stay in Khao Lak.
We have photos out on our website:
