Thailand 🇹🇭 Part 2 '23

Today was an exciting day as we were off to "Khoa Mai Khew" caves. We were also slightly hesitant as Thai caves don't have a good track history as recently a football team of 14 boys got stuck for 14/15 days! We headed to the caves and sat and waited for our guide to come. After about 30 mins we upto the cave which took about 30 minutes walk through the jungle up the mountain. We realised this was going to be more difficult than we thought as even the walk up to the caves was really difficult, slippy and steep. We eventually got to the top absolutely dripping in sweat we headed into the cave, it was really tight with alot of crawling and tight spots and sketchy ladders. Typical Thailand... But was very enjoyable we saw a big spider and about 100 bat's. James had hiccups and was letting out the loudest hiccups all the way around the cave which the group found entertaining. On our way out we had to crawl through the smallest hole about 2 mtrs and it was full of a muddy puddle which was lovely 😂. Once we left and got back to the bottom we were so sweaty, hottest thing we've ever done, hands down.
After cooling down we headed back to our cabin to get changed and then headed down to Koh Lantas scenic beaches alongside the national park. First stop Bamboo Beach, which was lovely but full of rubbish overflow as Thailand has a real issue during off season with Malaysian and Indonesian rubbish floating ashore.We stopped and saw a family of Monkeys which were on the road. We decided to move on to our next stop Nui Bay, here was lovely and less litter so we stopped for the evening, we then stopped for a look at Bakantiang beach whilst racing the sunset home. We ran down to our beach with a beer to watch the sun go down and it was a cool sunset tonight. Afterwards we had some tea and then we packed before unwinding for the evening.Læs mere

Our little mini bus arrived at 0930 to take us to Krabi . The mini bus was very cramped and we initially had quite a few stops along the way . We were under the impression that it would take 4.5 hours to get to Krabi airport . Luckily we were then in about 3 hours and then had a short taxi ride to our homestay.
Once in our room , we did some washing and chilled for a few hours afterwards. We think the heat took it out of us a bit yesterday in the cave ! We eventually gathered the energy to have a look around the main beach street in Krabi called Ao Nang and walk down to the beach .
There were quite a few people skim boarding at the beach, which is pretty impressive ! We decided to stay and watch them whilst the sun went down .
At this stage , we were both feeling pretty hungry . We slowly walked back along the main street and thought we would stop off at an Italian for a change. We had the most disgusting pizzas ever and it was a complete disappointment- reminding us why we never stop off at these types of restaurants, a curry would have been much nicer !
We walked back to our hotel and showered etc. We shared a couple of beers and had a relatively early night .Læs mere
