Crappy Krabi!


Monday 13th February
So i woke up at 8 to begin our journey to Krabi - and we had a very very long day - 6 hours on a boat and then 3 hours on a bus! We eventually got to Krabi around 7-8pm and found a room to stay for the night - very cheap! We were pleased until we had sat in the room for 5 minutes and started to sweat...it was boiling!! We spent the whole night sweating, never wanted air con so bad!


Tuesday 14th February
This morning we realised there really isnt much to do in Krabi. I had heard alot about Railay Beach so we decided to get a taxi boat over for the day and arrived after a half an hour boat journey with some rude people from California - suprise suprise! It was very pretty with cliffs all around the beach and had lots of nice hotels with pools (damn backpacker budget). We spent the day there and headed back around 5pm to wait for Emma to arrive in Krabi!


Emma got to Krabi and we decided to go for a nice girly Valentines dinner. We ended up in some ugly place so the setting wasnt that romantic haha! Emily wanted spag bol but when it came out it resembled a tin of baby food/ketchup on some spaghetti in the middle of a plate. Anyone who knows Emily can imagine what her reaction was - she was not happy! 
We walked around the shops for abit and i finally had to take the plunge and spend money on a new camera as mine officially died - stupid coolpix! But the cheapest one was bright pink so this cheered me up abit! The man was so cute as well and opened up the shop for us to have a look even though it was nearly 10pm and he had 2 screaming kids running around! Emma got one too so it was probably worth it for him!
So we headed back to our room to get some sleep for our early morning ferry to Koh Phi Phi, i spent about half an hour trying to balance my phone to get it to charge then warned everyone not to make any sudden movements to make it fall. About 4 seconds after saying this i turned around and stubbed my toe in Emily suitcase. Emily and Emma found this hilarious.
We all got into bed and found out that some people here are just absolute freaks. The shower in the bathroom next door to us always leaks so emily went out to turn it off. But when she got there it was not the shower but a woman in the bathroom washing an egg in the sink - an actual egg. There are some very strange people in Thailand. 
Anyway the egg washing and toe stubbing was probably the most eventful things that happened all day and made us laugh alot - after laughing at the crazy egg woman for 5 minutes we went to sleep. 
This was our only full day in Krabi and although Railay Beach was very nice, Krabi is not great. This is why we call it 'Crappy Krabi'! Next Stop - KOH PHI PHI!
