So we set forth in our own hired long-tail boat for the circumnavigation and closer look at some of the islands off of Ao Nang and Railay beaches, principally Puda, Tup, and Chicken Islands. Our pilot, Fred, got us there quickly, a rougher ride than previously, owing presumably to a light boat and a slightly choppier sea. Perhaps he was hoping to make us seasick, abort the trip, no refund. The rougher ride was actually fun, however, and we persevered.

| In the distance, out of our range, the Phi Phi Islands (I think) |
