Krabi was a very quiet town. It was exactly what we all needed after the crazy islands of Thailand. Krabi is very central to alot of places like Koh Phi Phi, James bond Island, Railay beach and Koh Lanta (another resort island - PASS).
We decided to head to Railay beach for the day. We hired a long tail boat from Krabi for $1200 baht round trip total($43) Worth it!!! I can see why lots of pictures of Thailand are from here. It is a community that strives on sustainablility, reducing waste and conserving the land as much as possible. For that reason, hotels here are expensive. There is one on its own that cost $2500/night!!! We stayed on the beach for free. After a good morning burn. We headed to Paneng Beach at Railay. This was more secluded. On the way we found monkeys, and these huge limestone cliffs and caves. Of course this is where both cameras died... great. We watched some rock climbers for a bit and then it rained and rained and rained... Glad we got to the beach in the morning. We actually had to wait until the storm blew over as it was too dangerous to boat back.
We arrived safely and spent the rest of our time in town. We ate at this restaurant right by our hotel 4 times... it was cheap and good. After lunch they gave us each a banana for free. Nice touch. We came back because of that. We had breakfast there. For 100 baht (under $4), we got 2 eggs, brown bread toast (hadn't seen that in a few weeks), whole, banana, half papaya, quater pineapple, coffee or tea and juice. The boys opted for the fruit, and got bacon, sausage and ham. They ended up eating the fruit off our plate anyways as it was too much for one sitting.
Matt and Chantal got hooked on Chai Yan (thai iced tea). You do not want to know the sugar content but, tea chilled with condensed milk. Sounds gross but so delicious!
The next morning we had to make some decisions, whether to boat to Koh Phi Phi and then boat on to Phuket or just bus it to Phuket. We choose the latter. It took much longer than the two hours promised but we were on holidays.
