Early morning update before we get the boat to Rai Leh
Arrived in Krabi 6pm last night. Beautiful views coming in of the limestone cliffs and the mountains. The airport (and our plane) was 90% tourist. Krabi is a relatively small town (~20,000 people) and mostly a jumping off point for beach destinations nearby. We checked into a new guesthouse, this time with no A/C. It was a bit of a sweaty night, but not too bad. Lots of noise from the streets though.
Everyone is feeling a little queasy today, probably just the food and heat catching up. Nothing too serious though. And yours truly feels fine. But karma will catch up to me eventually.
Once everyone is feeling well, we'll catch the boat to Rai Leh. Probably another update when we leave there and head to Ko Phi Phi. Here are some pictures, mostly from our trek up Doi Suthep.
Cheers,
Colin
chedi
The golden chedi at the centre of the wat, surrounded by those golden umbrellas. There's a great story about this chedi, a white elephant, and relics of the Buddha.
View
View of the mountains from a higher vantage point on Doi Suthep. The road here was very dodgy on a scooter.

July 12th 2008 - Shanda: Ko Phi Phi
Me again! I went to Ko Phi Phi when I was there and it was great. We rented kayaks & snorkel gear, and took off around the island... found these little private beaches and snorkelled all around on our own.... so incredible!! Sigh... Wish we were there with you guys!
Are you going to try to get to Cambodia? Definitely worth the trip if you have time!!!
