If we thought Khao Lak was expensive then we were in for a shock when we got to Ao Nang in the Krabi province. It was yet another evening of walking up and down the main high street in search of a cheap room (a common activity in Thailand it would seem). This was probably the most touristy place we visited and the best we could come up with was an 800baht room, which wasn't that great and double what we were used to paying. After a bit of faffing the next day we decided to relocate to Krabi and commute to the beaches at Railay. Our room in Krabi was soo much nicer and came with extremely friendly hosts, a plasma TV in the main communal area with 3 boxes of DVDs to choose from. Oh and we must not forget- gravy and chips on the menu. Sometimes this is just what you need when traveling.
The beaches at Railay were typically Thai and 'paradisey'. However having been very spoilt the week before on a beach in the Similan Islands without any foot prints on it, we were quite content just to read a bit and Nick found a slack line or two. Oh yeah, forgot to mention on the way to the beach I almost stood on a tree snake.
