We are moving to Krabi tomorrow. Paul has offered us a lift back to Bangkok where we'll get the bus to Krabi. It takes about 10 hours I think, so we're planning on getting an overnight bus. We were considering the train but it doesn't quite get you to Krabi, only near by and it takes a massive 16 hours! And a flight is 45 quid each as were haven't booked in advance. Bus it is then!
We are currently out and about on our scooter, well Paul's scooter bus he has let us borrow it for the day. THAT is a brush with Thai culture. I have never been quite as edgy on the back of a bike as I am here. There are no rules, and I mean NO rules. Paul says the Thai's move out of their little villages on their scooters into big cities and forget that there are other people on the road. The don't look, they drive down the wrong side like it's normal and they cut you up because nobody has right of way and undertaking, overtaking and swerving just comes naturally. Nobody bats an eyelid.
Jari, one of our Finnish friends is in Krabi. He has advised us to hurry along to enjoy the vodka with him ;-) Can't wait for the rock climbing over the sea. Harry - wish you were here! I can't wait for Krabi. It's been quite an experience in the Northern cities of Thaialnd, we need a holiday!
