Sala Talay Resort And Spa Krabi

... leaving both parties at least a little happy. It goes like this: <br>The monkeys like eating coconuts, but cannot crack the shells open. The Thais like collecting cocunuts for food and medicinal purposes, but cannot climb trees so well. Voila! A deal is formed! <br>So the Thai people train monkeys to climb trees and gather young (smooth) and old (rough) coconuts. The Thais then crack a load open for the monkeys to eat. Then the Thais eat, use, or sell the rest ...

Ao Nang Beach has been aaaabsolutely beautiful!!! Its good because its the low season for tourists at the moment, that means there's not so many "farang" around the place.<br><br>We went down and spent the WHOLE day down on the beach and it was gorgeous! The water was an absolute delight and the beach was the bomb as well.<br><br>Adam and I have both ...

... was around 20 meters and there were so many<br>things to see. We laid on the bottom with cute leopard sharks, tried<br>really hard to get close to the black tip reef sharks, oh and we had<br>the camera so we tried to get some good pictures and found out just<br>how hard it actually is to take a photo underwater. Our dive masters<br>were amazing. Holly is 22 from England and is really energetic and<br>sociable which meant our dives were educational and our ...

... play it cool.<br> After getting sick of indecisiveness and flighty decisions by the others, I felt<br>the need to get out. So, I rented a scooter, and took off flying up the<br>western coast of Ko Phangan along the main coastal rode. It was actually<br>pretty basic, and the area was more laid back and simple than Ko Samui. I<br>picked up a 'bottle' of gas from a hut from a little girl, whom poured it in my<br>tank. It was only about a dollars worth, but I gave ...

Dave and I have spiralled into a routine. We wake up, eat brekkie at the Pyramid Bar (with gigantic pancakes, huge bowls of muesli and a pot of real coffee, we love it here), waddle down to the beach to get spanked on climbs, eat lunch at the "chicken lady's" (BBQ chicken leg, sticky rice for 50 baht and som tum for 40), go back to "climb" or watch people and then retreat to the bungalow to shower, relax and then get ready to eat some ...

... one else looks like me...why, why, why? And Dave has developed a strange red dot on the white of his eye which I am sure will clear up soon, but he has taken to constantly taking pictures of it to make sure it doesn't get worse - which is actually a good idea. There have been tons of rain and thunderstorms in the evenings and it cools everything down. The climbing has been ...

... Just give me enough buckets to knock us out in a drunken stupor. I do just love forced drunken stupors. Yay Phi Phi. As we braced ourselves for the blaring music that was slowly beginning to roar alongside our little bungalow, buckets of red bull vodka in hand, we decided to check out these beachside fiestas we'd be sharing our beach with. Yes, the fire shows are hypnotizing and fun to watch. Yes, the ladyboy drag shows are ...

For anyone that doesn't know, a snorkel test is the final box that needs to be ticked before you can be officially certified as a Divemaster. It involves the Divemaster candidate wearing a dive mask (so you can't breathe through your nose) with a snorkel inserted in your mouth. The candidates instructor then pours a bucket of whatever he deems fit into the snorkel while the candidate attemps to swallow it all in one go without spilling ...

... tomu, ze plaze u hlavni vesnice byly precpane, vydali jsme se na vychodni plaz Hat Yao (asi 45 minut chuze pres kameny, krasa!), kde to bylo o moc lepsi a lenosilo se nam tam skvele. :-) Vecer se plaze na Phi-Phi promeni v totalni parirny, z pisku vyrostou tanecni parkety a snad ve vsech barech maji ohnovou show. Nas oblibeny parici bar byl Apache Bar na plazi Ao Lo Dalam. Nejoblibenejsim drinkem je tu kyblicek, ktery se sklada z michaneho napoje (asi 1/2 litru) podle ...

... were conspiring to change our minds about more time on the beach. We had a lot of errands to get done in Bangkok before heading to Myanmar, which was next on our agenda, so on a whim we decided to forgo Koh Lanta (this time) and caught an overnight bus from Krabi to Bangkok. Once in Bangkok we discovered Charlotte was staying in the same guesthouse as us (the same place we had stayed during previous visits to Bangkok). She had not known we'd changed our minds, so it ...
