Krabi (Ao Nang and Railay) and the weirdest island Koh Lanta

So from Koh Tao to get to Krabi we had to venture on an overnight ferry to Surt Thani and then a coach to Krabi. Hmmmm Overnight ferry.....now that was an experience and a half!! 120 people, a baby, a cat, a bird and a motorbike all piled in to a very small boat! there was single beds on the floor which had number above them so you followed your number to find your bed! 2 people to a single bed! and who knows who you would be next too! have a look at my pics ive uploaded to facebook and you will see what i mean! Weirdly me amy and Chris had the only 3 beds which were like in the middle on the boat so we didnt have to share. However, we did have to hang on for dear life whilst trying to get some needed sleep! oh and if someone went to the toilet in the night they would try and pass my bed, the boat would rock and then they would fall on me! lol all part of the adventure ey!

Got to Krabi and Chris had already booked a hotel room for the 3 of us but when we got there is was massive so Hannah and Nancy shared it too! We were staying on Ao Nang beach which first impressions was very commercial, there was a macdonalds and starbucks opposite us! Also very family orientated not many backapckers too be seen!Me amy and chris keep opting for little thia kitchens, the food is always so good and so cheap we went and ate, the bill came to like 8 quid for the 3 of us which we had starter and main meal! got to love it! Only stayed 1 night here and then moved on to Railay! But before that we hit the beach, there was some monkeys so went to have a nosy and they ended up jumping on nancy and stealing amy's drink! so funny :)

Railay....well my lonely planet book said the east coast beach was muddy but i have never seen a beach like it in thailand! luckily the west coast beach was much better! me and chris went on the hunt for accomodation, after walking in the boiling heat and sweating our arses off we ended up staying in the place where we had left the girls and our bags! wasted trip lol. Again we found Railay full off holiday makers and sooooo expensive so only stayed one night before heading to Koh Lanta.

Koh Lanta....has to be the weirdest island and night ive had since being in thailand. We hadnt organised anywhere to stay but Amy and Chris had, but as soon as we got off the boat we were bombarded with people offering rooms so didnt take us long to find a cheap and nice room, even had a swimming pool! We chilled out and arranged to meet Amy and Chris later. We ended up that we couldnt find them! and so 3 hours late we eventually bumped into them! Koh Lanta is just really spread out and takes ages to get anywhere. Even had to get a tuk tuk to get to an ATM. We sat in a bar and watched the funniest dancers ever! kept us entertained for a long time, we decided to walk to another bar which ended up taking us over an hr! we had so much fun playing with the plankton on the beach! at night if there are no lights you can see the plankton light up in bright green little speckles everywhere! we must of looked like the weirdest bunch of people lol but kept us entertained. We finally got to the bar which was shit, about 3 people in it who were off their heads trying to fire dance but could so we quickly left! to realise that we couldnt find a tuk tuk so had to walk home, 1 hr later and we were still no where near and random thai men kept staring at us and slowly down in their cars, its the first time in thailand ive actually felt unsafe! luckily a tuk tuk drove past and he took us home! All safe and sound. unfortunately we booked 2 nights here so were stuck here for another night. Didnt do much but think we witnessed the room next to us get robbed, so me and the girls were having a nosy but the thai people saw us we ran back in our room and locked the door and then they were standing on our balcony! obviously we didnt leave our room that night and was so glad to be leaving the next morning, got up at like 7 so we could get on the first ferry, the quicker out of this place the better!

And then we were off to Koh Phi Phi i couldnt wait :) xxxx
