Surprisingly not, considering how little sleep I'm surviving on at the moment. Between overnight bus journeys, early starts for day trips and late nights entertaining the ladies (and the ladyboys, and the ladybirds) I have every right to be a grouchy bastard, but somehow Thailand keeps exceeding my already sky-high standards and keeping me happy. How irritating!
Do you remember those ace rocks sticking out of the sea that I took thousands of photos of in Ang Thong? Well it turns out Krabi is where they live! Add monkeys and minus souvenir stands, and you've pretty much got paradise. I wish I could spend more time here.
Pranang Beach
Welcome to the Andaman Sea, and all the jagged rocks you can eat
Crags, caves and ludicrously green sea
Paddler's-eye view
Dave in a cave again
Excellent stalactite!
So that's what's missing! I knew my righteous ire was being malnourished
Who left this stuff here?
And how obscene do some of these offerings look? (I didn't notice that at the time)
Chicken Island
Some very fun snorkelling here, with stripy fish that wanted to be my friend. Or did I want to be theirs? Who knows. (Definitely the second option).
It's clear how this place got its name, but the same pareidolia courtesy doesn't seem to have been offered to other random limestone formations in the area. Here are some suggestions:
Shai-Hulud Island(s)
Little Michigan
Dipping Diplodocus Island
Ernie's Hair
Poo Island
Koh Poda
(Poda Island)
(Poda Island)
Beached boats
Beached urchin
Beached... tractor?
Since when have natural disasters ever affected me?
Here's a new game I like to call: tsunami or tsu-notty?
(My guess is tsu-notty)
Decapitated palm
Monkey likes eating takeaway
Monkey family values
Dave in a cave again again
Koh Tup
(Tup Island)
(Tup Island)
I just said that
This place is connected by sand banks, like Koh Nang Yuan
Check out how shallow the water is! It isn't empty either...
Fish in flight
Fish in fight
Dave gets a fish massage.
But where's my goddamn happy ending???
