Transit Day

Am in Krabi town waiting for the bus to the airport for my flight back to Bangkok.

Took a long boat (150 Baht) from Rai Leh East to the pier in Krabi - about an hour boat ride. Dropped off Saf and Hip at Ao Nam for their travels, so we had the first leg together. The funny thing is that there are no piers in Railay (notice that spellings often change when a Thai word is translated to English), so you gotta walk out (it was low tide) to the long boats. We bumped up (literally) against the pier in Krabi and had to disembark from the front - along the long nose of the boat - makes for interesting connections.

Opted to fly back to BKK - 1.5 hr flight- thus saving a 12 to 15 hour bus or train ride. Sorry to leave these beautiful islands, but plan to be back. Maybe on a boat - that would be the way to explore this part of the world.
