Where You Go?

After a ridiculously overcrowded and wet morning ferry to Phi Phi Island I spent the first part of my day relaxing on the beautiful beach. I was a little dissapointed to see that this area had been even more dominated by tourism than Phuket, which I didn't think was possible... It's a bit of a shame to see such a gorgeous piece of nature taken over like that. However, I didn't have long to stew over this notion because at 3:30 I was back on a ferry and on my way to Ao Nang. We arrived early in the evening and I got a taxi to my hostel in Krabi Town about ten minutes away. Pak-Up Hostel is incredible. Luxury for 150 baht. I would easily pay that for the shower alone. They are brand new but I really wish them the best and am sure they will do well. The staff is super friendly and helped me book a bus ticket to Bangkok. I leave late this afternoon and will arrive early tomorrow morning. After that was sorted out I headed out for some dinner and a bit of exploring. There was a market that I believe was put on for the New Year so I spent some time walking up and down the various stalls and appreciating the less touristy atmosphere. Well I am off for a bit more exploration of Krabi Town, then it's time to see what Bangkok has in store!
