There are No Beaches in Krabi Town
It took a while for Krabi Town to grow on me. We spent a night in this jumping off point for the islands in southern Thailand before taking a ferry to Koh Lanta. Then stayed 3 more nights before returning to Bangkok.
Relaxing on Koh Lanta in Southern Thailand
Six months is a long time to be away from the ocean for a family who lives in Hawaii and we were missing the beach.
