Thailand: Krabi Town

I expected Krabi Town to be a bit of a hole but we actually had a lot of fun there, for not much money. We stayed on the third floor of a guesthouse with amazing air con and purple paint for cheap) took Public transport around town, and ate at the night market near the pier. And there were a couple of English channels on the TV (one seemed to only show Flintstones though).

We hardly saw any other tourists around here, we were the only Caucasians in a lot of situations which was fun, especially when we found another night market where only Thais were shopping for clothes and jewelery and things, so they were cheap and not touristy. The food night market was lots of fun, walking past all the stalls with unidentified meat hanging and sitting and frying, plucked ducks with their beaks still on, offal... No english menus, but some incredible sweet and spicy smells coming out of woks and pots. We got big bowls of noodle soup with duck for 40 baht, which was one of the yummiest meals I've had so far here.

Also enjoyed using free wifi in some quiet restaurant/bars on the street and going through their book swap collections. I finished Tales of the Unexpected by Roald Dahl and swapped it for Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson, while Scott enjoyed drinking coke and eating chips while watching live supercoach scores on his laptop!

After 2 nights here we hopped on a ferry to Phi Phi!
