Karst mountains on Railay peninsula

June 4th 2009
2 June (Tuesday) - My spreadsheet showed a 10:20 AM departure from Bangkok to Krabi, so right after breakfast we took a taxi to the airport. When we approached the ticket counter I was informed that we were too early to check in for the 1:45 PM flight; to which I responded that I was booked on the 10:20 AM flight.

Sorry for the delay!!
Now that I made the front page I am starting to notice that I get comments. Sorry it's taking so long to respond to yours.

I will take a look at your blogs and get caught up with your travels. Again, thanks for commenting, and I promise to look at whether I have comments each day.
