Krabi

We took a minibus and ferry from Koh Lanta to Krabi and they had the usual health and safety precautions that you become accustomed to in Thailand. They pack around 50 cars, buses and bikes onto a pimped up crate with an engine, then squeeze all the pedestrians into the gaps in between and the job's oxo. Off you go across the deep crocodile rivers with you!

We checked into a gorgeous hotel called the Dee Andaman Hotel. It was so cute and the staff were so friendly and really appreciated Brian's Thai. We had a lovely 4 poster bed so Brian felt like a real princess. I put a pea under his mattress but he didn't feel it so he's not a genuine princess, he only has princess feet.

Lovely sunset from the rooftop bar:

Krabi is a lovely town with far fewer tourists. We took a little wander around the streets and arranged our transfers to Koh Samui.

Then we had a little trip along the river and visited the national park and Brian's second favourite caves and my second favourite monkeys (they couldn't swim so weren't as cool as the Langkawi monkeys).

Brian finally snapped and we fell out over my poor photography skills. He felt that he always took nice symmetrical photos of me and I just didn't take the time to get his head in line with long tail boats and mountains,etc. We nearly called off the engagement over it but since we only know each other in Thailand, we agreed to call a truce.

That night, we saw one of the seediest sights of all in our hotel. There was a German man who was pushing 80 with a 20 year old, gorgeous looking Thai girl. They were smooching all over each other. He was talking to her as if she was a baby, saying things like "what sound does a cow make" and she'd say "moo", the lessons seemed very therapeutic and Brian learned a lot from it too but it was so cringeful! We had to share a tuk tuk bus into the town with them. It was like a seedy episode of Barney.

Speaking of Barney, saw this really cool museum all about Krabi, they've evidence of history right back to the dinosaurs.

We left the next day for the islands on the east coast, Koh Samui and Koh Tao.
