As we drove to Krabi we stopped off at a site where the monkeys are usually spotted - we managed to see a large number of monkeys and they were very used to humans been around. As we arrived in Krabi we noticed that it was a major tourist destination, we obviously started by exploring the beach!
We got woken up early in the morning - to the shouts of 'fire' - not something you expect to hear! There was a fire in the hotel opposite us so we were all evacuated, with the lack of fire alarms in Thailand the voices of people have to do. It was an interesting experience - I can't say that the fire department in Thailand are the most effecient and want to get the job done - it took them a good hour to properly work out how to put the fire out! But after sitting outside for a few hours (glad it was warm) we were returned to our rooms and our hotel was fine. We later found out the cause of the fire was the burning of the candle for the Budda.
So we get up nice and early the next morning (or a few hours after we got to bed) for a trip to PP Island along with another 4 islands, including the one where the film the beach was filmed. We went snorkeling around the islands and saw a number of fish species and jelly fish. The next day we went for a walk around Krabi to the other beaches and piers - as I said it was a real seaside resort area.
