We saw several of these large longtail boats while anchored at Ko Thalu Nok. They brought many tourists there to kayak through tunnels and into hongs at mid-tide. At low tide there was too much mud to paddle into these hongs. Behind the longtail you can see the "floating village" at Ko Panyi where we had lunch on Nina's birthday. Jan seemed to have fun bartering for pearls for her girls at some of the many small shops of the village.
