      Krabi - Day 3

      July 24, 2019 in Thailand ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C

      Third day in one place. Nice to put down some roots for a change and relax a bit. Days are getting numbered so its appealing to stay in such a beautiful spot for a few days. Especially with my amazing hotel.

      Off to Railay beach today which is not accessible any other way but by boat because tall cliff rock walls create a huge natural barrier. Met a nice korean-american named david going to the same place. Our boat pulled into a beach and we got off but then quickly realized we were the only ones who got off and the boat was already gone. Wrong beach. Ton Sai beach. Pulled out my map and could see if we traipsed through some jungle we could hike to Railay beach, which we did.

      Railay was striking with more karst rock formations and loads of restaurants on the beach. Had lunch there and then i found another jungle trail to try to reach another beach. This trail was a lot less defined and rough terrain and david only had flipflops and had to abort. I kept going only to find out the other beach was accessible on this trail by going through a cave to the other side but you needed ropes to get up to it. So i had to head back too but got some nice shots from high up.

      David decided to call it a day and head back on next boat but i was more determined and found another path that lead me to Phra Nang Beach through some low level caves and was rewarded with more stunning views and monkeys everywhere! The whole reason david and i hiked that rough terrain was to find monkeys. Poor guy lol.

      From there caught a boat back to Ao Nang where i was staying, to avoid the big storm clouds rolling in. Walking down the road, i was cat called by a bunch of thai ladies having drinks on a patio, so i wandered over and joined them for a beer. Destroyed one of them in 4 games of pool haha and then headed off my hotel pool swim up bar to relax for a while.

      Went back out and had an amazing red snapper main, with green mango salad, and prawns for 10 dollars for supper, a few beers and off to bed to get up early for ferry trip to phi phi island in morning. Pretty sure i will return to Krabi some day. It was a gamble coming here because people i met in cambodia said it rained all day here for a few weeks straight. Its rainy season in all four countries but I haven't had a single day rained out so far. I have a sun-finding gift. And a monkey finding gift too apparently haha.      Read more

      Krabi - Day 2

      July 23, 2019 in Thailand ⋅ ⛅ 31 °C

      Today did a hike in jungle to some rivers with aqua marine colours, swam in one for a while and then found a beautiful isolated beach outside the main town with almost no one there. Relaxed there for a few hours enjoying a few beers, and hopping in and out of the water to cool off. But not really because the water is warmer than my hotel shower. Incredibly tranquile

      Headed back to town and got a seaside table for some more amazing thai food and people watching while writing my blog entry :) My welsh friend Marianne eventually came and joined me and we set off to find a more happening spot. The nightlife never took off that night but we had fun playing jenga and connect 4 lol over several beers to wind down a very chill day. The northern ireland couple really overdid it the night prior and weren't able to come meet us but probably for the best as they were off to phi phi island the next morning and Marianne was off to some other island, which i completely forget now.

      Some fun facts about thailand. They drive on the left side of the road; they dont use chopsticks; and there's a pretty sizeable muslim population here that i wasn't expecting. There's also a bit of a dictatorship military government going on and all the elections are rigged in their favour. Protesting doesn't seem to be permitted so its a very hard road in Thailand to push forward change. Feel bad for them especially because they're all so friendly and nice.      Read more

      Krabi und seine 1260 Stufen

      May 29, 2019 in Thailand ⋅ ⛅ 33 °C

      Krabi teilt sich in 2 Bezirke, Krabi Town (die eigentliche Stadt) und Ao Nang (der Strandabschnitt). So richtig klar war uns das erst als wir mit die einzigen Touristen in Krabi Town waren.
      Da wir aber eh zum Tiger cave tempel wollten, war das sogar ganz gut.
      Von dort fährt ein lokaler Bus bis zum Eingang. Soweit kein Problem. Aber dann 😅
      1260 Stufen in den unterschiedlichsten Höhen und alle steil 😲. Die ersten 200 sind gar kein Problem, aber dann fangen die Beine an zu schmerzen. Und weiter und weiter. Zur Belohnung gibt es dann noch mehr Stufen und sie hören gar nicht mehr auf... Nicht dass die Treppe an sich schon echt heftig war, brannte die Sonne noch dazu🌞.
      Oben angekommen hatte ich meine Beine gar nicht mehr gespürt und war fix und fertig. Schon auf dem Weg haben sie angefangen unkontrolliert zu zittern und wurden immer schwerer. Das war bis jetzt der anstrengendste Aufstieg 🥵.
      Aber ein spektakulärer Ausblick bis zum Meer und ein schöner Tempel mit riesiger Buddha Statue.

      Am Nachmittag sind wir dann nach Ao Nang gefahren. Es sind gerade mal 10 km und in ein paar Minuten waren wir schon dort.
      Der Strandabschnitt ist deutlich touristischer und voller als Krabi Town. Es gibt an der Passage unzählige Shops, Massagestudios und Bars, die alle etwas verkaufen wollen und teilweise echt penetrant sind.
      Wir sind abends nur kurz an den Strand und ein bisschen durch die Stadt geschlendert.
      Sehr auffällig : alles voller Inder 😲. Es scheint, dass Krabi bei denen sehr beliebt ist.

      Am nächten Tag sind wir zu einem kleineren ruhigeren Strand gelaufen. Der Weg führte durch den "Monkey Trail", durch den Dschungel am Meer entlang. Überall warnen Schilder vor den Affen und nach unserer Begegnung mit den Tierchen in Kambodscha waren wir auf ein erneutes Antreffen nicht so scharf. Aber wir haben keine gesehen.
      Am Strand selbst war das Wasser nicht wirklich klar und hat auch wenig zum Schwimmen eingeladen. Also haben wir uns stattdessen die schönen Felsformationen angesehen. Der einzelne Felsen im Wasser sieht schon beeindruckend aus.

      Zurück an der Promenade sind uns auch zum ersten Mal Tsunami Evakuierungsschilder aufgefallen. Klar... Auch Krabi und alle Inseln davor waren 2004 von dem Riesentsunami betroffen 😳🌊. Davon spürt oder sieht man hier allerdings nichts mehr.      Read more

      A spectacular day

      February 14, 2018 in Thailand ⋅ 🌙 26 °C

      Today was spent on the water visiting 4 islands near Krabi. What a trip. The water was crystal clear, blue green. You could see colored fish swimming without using a mask. The sand was superfine. There were countless outcroppings of small, uninhabited islands. Breathtaking!Read more

      Day 2 in Krabi

      February 7, 2018 in Thailand ⋅ ⛅ 33 °C

      The good news today is that Dore is feeling much better. The bad news is that I have the flu as well with a very high fever. Just back from a doctor’s visit. I have started on the flu medicine and my plan is to wake up tomorrow feels by much better. No lunch or dinner for me today 😱 so my appetite better come back soon. In the meantime, check out the main pool. So big that even 2 photos won’t get it all in.Read more

      Real Thai food

      February 8, 2018 in Thailand ⋅ 🌙 23 °C

      Some of the most delicious Thai food I’ve had, served with the biggest smiles. How can you not love it? Sour chicken wings, spicy grilled beef salad, green curry with seafood, crazy delicious steamed fish with spicy lemon sauce and to finish off, mango with (black) sticky rice.Read more

      Krabi und die Sache mit Buddha

      November 22, 2018 in Thailand ⋅ 🌧 31 °C

      Ein etwas anderer Stadtbesuch erwartete uns heute. Willi war schwer "begeistert" als er nach längerer Kulturpause wieder einen Tempel sah. Er philosophierte darüber, dass Budder doch auf Toast gehört ;) Außerdem war dieser viel zu klein. Schulfest mit Tauziehen, vorbei am Gefängnis von Krabi, ein paar Dinos in Thailand und eine furchteinflößende Affenverfolgung, der wir zum Glück entkommen konnten und es sicher in das Mangrovenwäldchen schafften.Read more

      Ein letzter Strandtag

      March 7, 2017 in Thailand ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

      Heute ist unser letzter Urlaubstag mit den Jungs 😢!
      Was machen wir? Schönes Wetter, Strand und das herrliche Meer nutzen! Alle vier genießen wir noch einmal den ruhigen Strand von vorgestern! Und wir genießen das Zusammensein mit den Jungs!!!
      So lassen wir unsere Thailandetappe ganz in Ruhe ausklingen, bevor wir morgen getrennte Wege gehen!
      Am späten Nachmittag lassen sich die Jungs ein letztes mal bei einer Massage verwöhnen und wir gönnen uns Kaffee und Smoothie.
      Bei untergehender Sonne nehmen wir ein Abschiedsbad im Meer, gehen dann lecker essen und lassen uns in die Blue Dragon Show locken - eine Kostümshow der Ladyboys 🙃, schön anzusehen.
      So schnell kann ein Tag vergehen!      Read more

      Koh Pha-Ngan Part 2

      August 9, 2017 in Thailand ⋅ ⛅ 32 °C

      The day after the full moon was pretty much a write off. We met back up with the nursing girls, went for a beautiful dinner then headed back to the hotel and watched a movie before going to sleep. The next day Eva convinced us to go to a water park called Slip N Fly. The main attractions are two massive slides with a steep incline at the bottom so you go flying into the air before landing in the water . After signing our lives away at the front door we watched a few people land successfully and a few not so successfully .

      When Eva finally convinced/dragged me to the top of the slide a slight meltdown was had where I refused to let go of the Frenchman who was working at the top . He told us that it is actually safer to go backwards as you are then in a pencil dive position landing in the water. It might be safer, but it is way scarier!. Being the nurses we are we decided safety first so backwards we went down the slide . As soon as I went, I actually really enjoyed it - apart from a large pain in the bum when landing in the water it was actually great fun!. That evening we went to the famous Amsterdam Bar that has the best views of the sunset and watched the sun go down on our last night in Koh Pha-Ngan .      Read more
