Krabi

Krabi

We arrived in Bangkok on the Saturday with our bike well packed in its homemade case. Then on Monday we took a national flight to Krabi, on the South West coast near Phuket. This time we loaded the bike assembled directly on the plane, wrapped in foam to protect the frame and components. Check out the bike on the trailer!

Krabi is a very fast developping resort near Phuket. It shares the same bay and islands (most famous is Ko Pi Pi, above, and the famous bay where the movie "The Beach" was filmed), along with a clear turquoise sea and shallow coral bays which are perfect for snorkeling.

The typical cliffs may remind you of 007's "Man with a Golden Gun" which was also filmed near Krabi

So is that a local lady boy?
(Sorry dad)


And sorry too, Xavier and Sandrine,
for spoiling such a great shot...




We'll have to practice a bit more on that one next time

(Read: "We have to go back to Krabi one day to re-take that shot")

Well we had to leave one day. After all we did come here to cycle, not to hang around white sand beaches and delightfull tropical islands ... (maybe next time)

So we left the luxourious resort and headed for Phang Nga. Unfortunately, due to very crap local maps (no joke), we got lost about 4 times in first 3 hours, so we only made it to Ao Luk in the afternoon, just in time to shelter as a massive storm started and lasted all night.
