Krabi in August

I went to Krabi with my lovely colleagues in August. We have been talking about this trip since May!

We took a day trip to Ko Phi Phi islands and the ride was a total nightmare. We were constantly on the boat, travelling from one spot to another (because Ko Phi Phi has 4 islands). The ride was extremely bumpy and shaky, and it felt like as if all of us had a mild concussion and/or dislocation of inner organs after the trip. Gosh.

Ko Phai a.k.a. Bamboo Island. Arguably the nicest spot amongst all the others in the Ko Phi Phi day trip. Mainly due to the nice sunny weather, blue sky, white sand, crystal clear water.

The famous Maya Bay at Ko Phi Phi Leh. There was considerably heavy rain and hence these dark gloomy photos were produced.

Tonsai Bay at Ko Phi Phi Don, the only island amongst the 4 which is inhabited.

Snorkelling
The day in Railay was arguably the worse. The weather was bad with intermittent rain, the wind was cold, the waves were strong, and the beach was flooded due to extremely high tide!

My favourite picture. Just love the coordination of everyone.
After all, I didn't manage to get a tan :( Damn!!!

Well, Krabi itself is quite a laid back town; not those kind of places where you can party all night long. There is really nothing much in Krabi; only a long row of shops along Ao Nang beach. People travelled to Krabi for the surrounding places, like Ko Phi Phi, Railay, Hong Island.

Shopping at Ao Nang. To my surprise, there is actually Burger King, McDonald's, Subway, Swensen's and even Haagen Dazs!

The trip was overall a good one. Good company, good food, good laughters. The only downside is the unpredictable weather. For a moment, it was sunny and the next thing before you know, it rains. Therefore, I would suggest to whoever to wants to go to Krabi to go between November and March.
