Southern vacation


Nice vacation in Southern Thailand at Railay, in Krabi.  It is a beautiful spot with warm, clear, clean water and soft sand.  We took a tour of 4 islands and got to snorkel, swim and enjoy the Adaman Sea.  There was a hiking trail behind our hotel that was a challenging climb, enough to get the heart rate up, but nothing like Colorado.  The food was good, especially the fruit plate for breakfast.  No dogs at Railay, just some sweet, clean kitties.
The rock climbing was fun to watch and looked like a climbers’ paradise.
The people were taller, darker and had curlier hair compared to my village.  The industry is tourism and the feel is different from Issan.  Thailand is a land of variety!
One of the unexpected delights was meeting people from all over.  We were on the island tour with 3 darling girls from Sweden and several Thai families.  On the boat to Railay we met a couple from the states and 2 young men from England.  A waitress at one of the Thai restaurants was from Canada.
On the way from Bangkok we met 2 couples from Australia and we came back in a boat with 2 girls who met in Thailand and are travelling together, one from New Zealand and one from England.
