Railay, Thailand

published by Theunis on Sun, 03/31/2013 - 07:51

Railay (Thai: อ่าวไร่เลย์) is located just east of Ao Nang and is considered by many tourists as one of the most beautiful beaches in Thailand.  Marius and myself took a long tail boat from Ao Namoa Pier for just B60 (2USD) each and the trip took about 20 minutes. This was our first time on a long tail boat it had an Isuzu diesel engine and it was pretty noisy, make sure you get a seat closer to the back to avoid water spray.

Tiger Cave Temple

Early morning with a few pointers from Yen and Tor we headed towards our destination Tiger Cave Temple or Wat Tham Sua. After about an hour drive and following a few boards along the road we ended up at a place we thought were our destination.

Heading up into the cave, and about 50 of the most uneven stairs ever we reached the inside of a large cave and a few monks that look at us like we were lost. With no English and no Internet Marius pinpointed our location as a place called the Bureau of Monks.

Krabi Town

On Chinese new years day we decided to head to Krabi town for the new years day festivities. At 6pm we left on our Scooter to Krabi Town and much to our surprise all the fun stuff happened the night before, we are in the heart of Asia, and we missed the Chinese New Year celebrations. Well, it seems we going to have to stay another year to see it again.

Krabi Gate

With no festivities *sad faces* we decide to explore Krabi Town, and found some interesting spots.

The coastal town Ao Nang

published by Theunis on Sat, 02/09/2013 - 12:02

Ao Nang is a small coastal town situated in the Krabi Province in southeast Thailand. The town is a large tourist destination with a multitude of massage parlors, restaurants, resorts and bars.

As you drive into Ao Nang from the pier side down Nopparat Thara Road you will see Nopparat Thara beach on your right and the start of restaurants on your left.

Nopparat Thara Road is the main road that takes you through Ao Nang and past by all the resorts, restaurants, shops and bars. Once you arrive in Ao Nang everything is in walking distance, well almost.
