Krabi Thailand April '16




Our speed boat journey! Bit bumpy!!!!! 






Krabi is flooded by these towering rocks! Such great beautiful spectacles of nature! 





Our new pad for a few nights 'Sleep Club.'  It was supercool with a real industrial feel to the place.  It had very comfy ensuite rooms with the biggest bunk beds you have ever seen! It had a chill out lounge with a great choice of DVD's to watch and books to borrow.  The staff were very welcoming, on our first day after returning from a busy morning we were welcomed with chilled coconuts and the second day we were treated to mango sticky rice which was very tasty!! They even had a family of cats/kittens just hanging around keeping us guests entertained with their antics.

           

      


          




Time for some more kayaking, this time through the mangroves.  Josh didn't need asked twice if he wanted to come with us or with the instructor, ditched again!! It was easy going and our guide AJ was very informative about the environment and wildlife.

    You wouldn't want to get lost in here at night!!! Would be pretty spooky I think!! 
    Even the guides have hung strips of material on branches to ensure they don't get lost! 

 





We had a breather on a small beach where we could obviously rather than rest, go climbing like a monkey! 


         



        

After a chilled out afternoon in our hostel lounge it was time to hit the local Saturday night market which had many food and drink options, clothing and crafts and a stage with performing jugglers and singers!! 







Krabi has many interesting sculptures throughout the town but these traffic lights have to be the best!! 
What a great way to amuse any driver in rush hour!!! 

      

                                         

                              This one comes with its own animal print crossing!



They also like to enhance their streetlights with elephants, birdcages and birds! 


                        




          The famous Black Crab! Always a wash with tourists & cameras!!


           


Tributes to the local Sea Eagle which are in abundance here! 


                     

                                               



       

        


This is Krabi's 'History Wall' depicting everything from the dinosaurs to the evolution of mankind in Thailand.











      We found a rather cool Regge bar for our last night drinks!!

       

Krabi was a very lovely chilled out place with an abundance of hotels, hostels, bars & restaurants to choose from.  Our hostel was one of the best we have been in so far which helped us chill out for a couple of days before we head back to busy Bangkok!
