Anyway, on our next stop E and I found our way to Krabi, Thailand. The main beach is Miami-esque in terms of all the souvenir shops, tours, bars, etc. that can be found there. Not really into that kind of scene, my friend and I took a small long-tail boat (in the middle of the night no less) 20 min away to a small beach called West Railay.
While still a home to tourists, this beach housed only 3-4 resorts making it less prone to typical traffic (actually there were no roads here - aka pedestrians and boats only). We met up with my old buddy M and his friends S and Z and had lots of fun sunbathing, swimming, kayaking, snorkeling, and rock climbing the next few days. Oh did I mention this area is one of the world's premier outdoor rock climbing sites of the world? I'm pretty proud to say I am the new owner of Krabi climbing bragging rights. WOOT!
Ok, and maybe you are confused about me mentioning swimming. You have every right to be since I can't swim - but I can kinda function when I wear a life jacket. Now on to the pictures!
AHA! I totally forced her to do this...but she "rocked" it!
M definitely did the best amongst all of us.
Little Z! He says he loves me and that I'm his queen and that we're married. HA! Can't wait to hang with him in the Noi!
This stupid thing took me over 20 min to climb...thought my arms would fall off! It didn't help that there was a 5 min rain pour in the middle of ascent!
Woooot!
Go team go!
East Railay @ low tide
One of the best sunsets I've ever seen.
Friendly monkeys seen on our walk to Phranang Beach.
These Thai lanterns are amazing to see in person. We released one too but I won't tell you my wish!
Thai food, I miss you.
So we had a 5 hour layover in Bangkok (until 4am) and took advantage by making a QUICK trip into the city and grabbing some beers near RCA street. :D
