She's only three hours away and a cheap van ride from the coastal town of Krabi. It was a very nice drive. Krabi did not disappoint. I picked a resort hotel, which is not my usual preference, but it worked. It was right on the ocean and they had Thai massages :) Funny thing, on our bed was a notice..."do not leave sliding doors open since monkeys will come in". Crazy. Speaking of monkeys, after we got settled we went down to the beach and did a little hike that took us through some jungle and led to a park...monkey park. Well, on our way back the monkeys were everywhere, on the rails, in the trees, and on the beach. We walked by them slowly, I was in front, then Sara, and then Luz. I heard Sara say "Mom" and I turned around and a monkey had jumped on her head...just sitting there....she was so still and calm ( I don't know if I could have been that calm) that eventually the monkey just jumped back off. Obviously people have been feeding them. I just wish people would understand that you cannot feel wildlife...they just become nuisances and then they have to be removed...so sad. Anyways....I almost took a picture, but I thought that wouldn't have been nice :) We had dinner at an awesome Indian restaurant and woke up the next day and went to Railay Beach. BTW...I fell in love with the fresh coconuts and the incredible sunsets!
Yummy garlic naan!
Came across this sweet little pup. I stopped the girl and told her it was refreshing to see a dog on a leash, since all we see are poor street dogs (soi dogs). They are usually fed by someone or the monks, but they are rarely given medical attention; plus the monks do not believe in euthanasia or neutering....such a shame. She found this little guy at temple and brought him home. He was so cute! She was from London and on her fifth year in Thailand teaching English.
