Travel Krabi

Landed in Ao Nang on the 9th from Phi Phi, where we made our way over to Krabi town and checked into the Grand Tower Hotel. That it certainly is! It's about six storeys high with views over the uglier parts of the town. We went straight for tea on the infamous night market. The food was rather splendid and incredibly cheap; and also rather satisfying that the locals ate there as well.

The next day saw us hit Railay Beach, via a 45minute longtail boat ride. This place is best described in pictures. The red hot sun beat down on the lush tropical green waters and perfect sand. We spent all day there and got an incredible tan for our efforts.

The 11th saw us hit Ao Nang beach - for about 20 minutes. It was busy, full of shops and surprisingly low on quality beach! Row after row of boats meant that we couldn't really swim, so we headed for the 30minute moped journey back home, before we head to Phuket Town in preparation for our venture in Malaysia.
