Project 52 Week 24 - Chasing the Sunset

Arriving in Thailand and recuperating in Bangkok, we spent several days cleaning ourselves, our clothes and rejoining civilization. It was actually kind of depressing, though refreshing to have hot showers!

We moved on to the island of Koh Chang in the South East of Thailand near the Cambodia border. We stayed in a beautiful resort called The Stage and had access to some great beaches. The water here was incredibly warm and although the island was pretty quiet at this time of year, we could see how massively popular it must be in the high season.

This was the beginning of my quest to hopefully capture some great sunset images while travelling the coastlines of South East Asia. We found a great lookout spot and headed up there with plenty of time to explore and setup from a good spot. The scooters were handy for zooming around, especially up the big hill we had to climb to reach this spot. The sunset was looking promising with lots of great golden light, but my suspicions of a dismal end proved correct as a low bank of clouds on the horizon blocked off the critical finals angles of light that would be required to light up the clouds.
