Pet maak, very spicy

Tomorrow we leave for our last field course- we bus through the night down to Southern Thailand, where the food is spicy and the sea is clear.
There will be a lot of camping on the beach, snorkeling in reefs, tromping through mangrove forests, and sea kayaking (on the Andaman Sea)

We stay in a Muslim village for 9 days, fish with them, and learn how they live with the ocean on a subsistence level.

There may be sea turtles,

there may be dugongs (endangered, and only found in thailand),

I may decide to stay down there forever.
