We pulled into our station about 6.15am, just after watching a beautiful sunrise. We grabbed some breakfast then embarked on an almost 4 hour bus journey to Krabi bus station. I must admit I slept for most of it (having not got much sleep on the train) and so I didn't see much of the countryside. From Krabi bus station we jumped on the back of a van thing with some other tourists and were delivered to the door of our hotel, just about in one piece at about 2pm - almost 24 hours after leaving our hotel in BKK! The driver of the van thingy was a little bit mad (like most drivers in Thailand); overtaking on hills, blind corners and the like. I found it was best to think of the experience as an adrenaline sport. You're not quite sure if you're going to make it out alive! lol
Al and I spent most of the afternoon in the pool, and Will went to the beach to work on "the tan". I think we spent a little too long in the pool as we were of a similar wrinklidge to that of raisins.
We went for a lovely dinner on the beach front (sweet and sour chicken all round) and met a girl from Holland called Rosie. There was a nice sea breeze to cool us off.
I'll get some photos of the place up tomorrow.

i think i might have to stop reading this blog, its making me insanely jealous that i am not there, lol
the journey will have it benefits...
a) it sounds like a nice place to have arrived at!! (Look forward to the photos).
b) you'll appreciate translink and NIR more when you get back to Belfast! Perhaps Translink could compete for the lack of punctuality award but I guess they do have flushable toilets!!
Stay safe

oh my wordy, it sounds fab - not sure i'll be able to bring myself to look at those photos, thou shalt not envy ginger afro boy's holiday etc! hope the crazy drivers haven't scared you too much - at least your trips in the alto with hen will have been good preparation...
hi son. when I used to walk up the railway line at home, there was often the unmentionable deposited there between the rails so I guess the system with NIR is much the same!
Keep 'er lit!
