The Blue Village Krabi

... was instantly relieved, and it felt so good - the kind of good that makes you sigh even when alone. Too much detail perhaps? Not combining well with the beef stew before you?
I do not think that it was food-poisoning related at all. I think it was more to do with the amount of spicy food I have been eating lately. If anything I think it is good, like a colonic irrigation of sorts (I really do think that properly cooked Thai food is better for you than English food ...

... was beautiful. Never have seen anything like that before in my life. Just this huge crystal-clear lake in the middle of some mountains. And the lookout point was phenomenal as well. It allowed you to see both sides of Railay at the same time. We also made some monkey friends when we were at the lookout point, but they became a little too friendly and we decided that we may need to leave. Everything was fine at first, but then I started singing Boys II Men and they all started ...

... beer, chilled out on triangle pillows all in a wild west bar setting!!! It was to unreal...like we'd left Krabi behind. Charlie sat behind the bar orchestrating the cool and tunes for the night and then next thing we know its well gone 1 am and its the same story again!!! hahaha not a hope.

We met a few mad heads and weirdos in here too....a mad Manc couple who just kept talking, drunken Sharkey whos wife had to bring home, Crystal Meth Matt who was on ...

... fingers. I was taken aback by the astonishing beauty and it is something I will never forget. After our canoe trip we were dropped off at a location along the shore where Tom was waiting for us. He then took us to my favorite part of the whole trek: elephant rides.

We arrived to what was called (I think it was called this) an elephant farm. There were around 2 elephants hanging out and once I sat on ours I fell in love. I have no idea what my elephant's name was or how old he ...

... I embrace them more openly and
understand the importance of living in the moment more than ever. This was
pure joy.
I finally found the Seaflower Bungalows, and met Keith's friend Chai. Chai had
met Keith more than 30 years ago on Ko Samui, and they stayed in touch ever
since. Chai's wife was from Canada, and for awhile, Chai would spend about 9
months a year up there working with his wife's brother, then returning to his
bungalows for a ...

The weather in Krabi, despite being the rainy season wasnt too bad, and there was plenty of opportunity to top up the tan on the beaches (and when we snuck into the pool at the hotel next door!).

I also visited Phi Phi islands, where there was some great snorkelling (lots of fish, sea urchins, clams and I even saw a sea snake!). We also stopped of at Maya bay, which was the ...

... cave? A cave with lots of penis carvings! Tom enjored it the most, as you will see from the photos of him huging the giant penis'/penii? Chris did NOT have such a good time at Railey. He wasn't keen on going in the first place, because he is really really sick of beaches now, but decided to come along anyway. On the way back he lost his longtail boat ticket, because the longtail boat started going seeper into the sea and he ended up getting his trousers completely ...

... taxi (by the way, it wasn't just the taxi driver who told us this!). When we were about to give up, we met Chet who was back from his job at the JW Marriott in Phuket (sorry ladies, didn't have a chance to review it!) to see his parents who lived by the spring. They were such lovely people, they drove us up there, even though his parents go there every morning and must be bored sick of it! They just ...

... to our usual drinks and stayed away from the evil bucket. PT: As ilhas gêmeas de Ko Phi-Phi Don e Ko Phi-Phi (conhecidas simplesmente como Ko Phi-Phi) são duas das mais belas ilhas na Tailândia. Enquanto Phi-Phi Leh não é habitada e não tem infraestruturas turisticas (apesar de que desde que a espectacular praia de Maya foi um dos cenários do filme "A Praia" o numero de visitantes em excursões disparou), Phi-Phi Don (a maior das duas ilhas) é exactamente o oposto, nós ...

... snorkelling, sunbathing, exploring and photography are the main activities to enjoy. Second was the Phi Phi Islands by Speedboat Day Trip from Ao Nang - 1,800 Baht The fabulous Phi Phi Islands are only 45 minutes away from Krabi by speed boat. We stopped at Bamboo Island and Hin Klarng for snorkeling ...
