Travelogue : Thailand

I once read somewhere that when you go to Thailand, you can't wait to leave it...
...but you also can't wait to go back.
That much we agree with. Here is our story, we hope you enjoy reading as much as we've enjoyed experiencing it!

Krabi: Phang Nga Bay

Travelogue-Specials:


	sign the guestbook of this travelogue!

This morning, after a hearty breakfast, H and I walked down the streets of Ao Nang to buy 2 round-trip tickets to Phang Nga Bay (120 baht each for a RT) on a longtail boat.

After cruising around the limestones of Ao Nang and Railay, we arrive to Phang Nga and it was simply GORGEOUS! Limestone formations everywhere you look, caves, the really seagreen water...just lovely.

Once we arrived to Phang Nga, we laid out our stuff on the soft, white sand, and walked across the shore to do some cave exploring. Some words of advice: Take your flip-flops with you! Along the way, there are so many jagged rocks, broken seashells, and stones that could easily scrape your feet. Or, you can try swimming across in the shallow waters, but might get pierced by some sea urchins, like I almost did!

We are too heavy!

Too astonishing for words

There were no warnings of these in the water!

Yikes, that's gotta hurt real bad

After making our way around the sea urchins (thank goodness H spotted them!), we did some cave exploring. While wading through the water, we saw some cool things-- a school of really translucent fish (they were all over the water), crabs, and salamanders (or what H says are really just fish, but I think they look like 'em). Once we got to the caves, we explored and walked around the jagged, porous rocks, trying to be careful not to slip and fall on them. After our little 'exploration', we headed back to the other side to explore more caves-- even one that contained a shrine inside.
