so for our first night in krabi we were to stay in another homestay with a muslim family on a rubber plantation? to be fair the whole group wasnt really looking forward to this, it didnt sound very exotic or appealing and we all had a vision of being frog marched to a cold damp dark dungeon by men in turbans with machine guns to make fake nike t-shirts and cheap footballs for the krabi tourist trade! it ended up being a really nice nite and the family made us really welcome, we had a group dinner and retired to our bungalows to play a bit of cards and have a few beers with our backsides still twitching a bit after the hot food!
next morning we were all up early for our brekkie and a bit excited cos we had booked to go on a day trip to koh phi phi islands. we met our huge speedboat at the marina and set off for the islands, we stopped off a couple of times around a few of the islands coral reefs for a bit of snorkelling, the sea was crystal clear and bright blue like ud expect of a tropical island and the amount of fish and coral and stuff was unbeleivable. we stopped at phi phi lay one of the bigger islands for lunch and a bit of sunbathing then headed off for the world famous maya beach to finish our day off. this is the place where leonardo dicaprio was in the film "the beach" this place was stunning and was just full of beautiful people strutting around covered in oil and trying to look cool up to there waist in the sea, so our group took it upon ourselves to vreak the silence and start up a big game of rugby with our newly aquired rugby ball from krabi, as u can see from our pics a few of the blokes in our groups are very big boys so it turned out to be chaos! i got caught in a big tackle between leo ( a 6ft3 rasta looking fellow from england) and chris a massive kiwi fellow who played for the all blacks or sumthing, needless to say they both came off a little worse than i did.That night we all went down to krabi town for a few jars and some tea then it was mostly an early nite cos most of the girls got sunburned and we were staying in a hotel with air con.
next to trang!!!!!
