Ao Nang and Koh Lanta: Day 21 to 26

---

I headed back to the beaches from Khao Sok, but this time to Southern Thailand and to the Krabi province.

My first stop was Ao Nang. A key town in the province, this is a very popular town for beachgoers and island hoppers and I found it too crowded for my liking. But the sunsets and the night market were definitely noteworthy.

I did use the time to gorge on some Indian food, talk to some tourists from China and learnt a lot about the country.

Next stop for me was Koh Lanta, an island district with about 30,000 population. The setting was perfect for my last few days in Thailand, swimming in the calm waters (though lot of jellyfish around) and just lazing on the beach.

And it's here that I finally got to see the sun going down into the ocean. A touchdown is rare to see given clouds and air pollution, but Koh Lanta gave me that view.

A good way to end my Thailand trip and a memory to cherish.
