Attractive beaches on the peninsula

Railay Beach is one of the highlights of a stay in the Krabi region. Anyone visiting Ao Nang must experience this unique beach, tourist, and commercial complex. There was no reason for us not to take a cruise and stay on this peninsula. Although it's on the mainland, it can only be reached from t...

The cruise. Part III. Oh, those sunsets!

I think I've written before about sunsets in various corners of the world, which we witnessed mainly because the locals praised them as the most beautiful in the world. Well, we must have seen a dozen or so of the most beautiful sunsets. Indeed, some were more spectacular than others. Each sunset h...

The cruise. Part II. Islands and Rocks

Each island, islet, or rock jutting out of the water is a visual attraction and forces one to reflect on the process of creating these limestone works of nature. And the shades of water color from blue and green change almost at will: from navy blue to emerald and turquoise! Enthusiasts sail aro...

The cruise was labeled "Krabi Coast Islands and Sunset?" Partt I

Sports and money

There's a Muay Thai club at the Night Market where you can watch a series of fights for a fee. And for free, you can watch young athletes warm up for their fights. A large poster announces the boxers scheduled to fight on December 9th. We showed no interest in this attraction and, shaking our he...

First night in Ao Nang

We start the evening at a local roadside restaurant, served by the entire family. We have a fantastic dinner, much cheaper than at the tourist center. We chat for almost two hours with the owner, Top, and her nephew, Bobo. Despite their weak English, we manage to cover all the important politica...

Already in the south of Thailand

After 38 hours of travel, we arrived at our first stop in Ao Nang, 30 km from Krabi airport. Naturally, it's on the Andaman Sea (part of the Indian Ocean). Despite the long journey, we weren't completely unhappy. Travel surprises are a regular part of vacation life, and we've been on holidays ever ...

On the way to Bangkok

Despite the gray and drizzly weather, we arrived at Berlin Airport in good spirits and on schedule. We fortified ourselves with non-Italian pizza and a good German beer. Full of anticipation for the next attractions, we didn't even notice when we landed in Istanbul (after a 2.5-hour flight). We ...
