Thailand pt. 3 - Krabi

Next stop was Krabi back on the mainland before heading over to the eastcoast islands where we spent just 24hrs at Rai-Ley beach, a 30min long boat ride from the main town. We were looking forward to the crystal clear green waters and long sandy beaches surrounded by limestone cliffs which are featured on most of the postcards.

I'm not sure where the photos in the these postcards were taken but I'm pretty sure it wasn't at Rai-Ley. The cliffs were there, all very nice... but the water was mirky and the beach was more sand than mud. Still, it was a nice change of scenery and we had some fun walking around the headland and exploring the caves. The accomodation was also very pleasant, with our own swimming pool which also served as a watering hole for the local monkeys and a nice veranda.

Krabi is a mecca for rock climbing enthusiasts and I can see why. The cliffs were pretty stunning and of all shapes and sizes.. Mind you, if you're not into climbing, the one day we spent there was probably plenty of time.
