Our last full day in Bangkok was part administrative, part exploration of the Thong Lor district (poor advice from a guide book), and part jet-lag recovery. On January 14, we packed up, indulged ourselves in the Marriott/Aloft breakfast, took a cab to Suvarnabhumi, and jetted to our next destination, Krabi, on the southwest Thai coast. Sun and fun and...long-tail boats and
karsts.
|
One of the nicer breakfast spreads we've seen, both Asian and western |
|
On approach to Krabi, aboard Thai Airways, one of the perennially top ten airlines in the world |
|
I think their perennially high rating must be based on international flights... |
|
Yum...who could resist hot tuna and mayonnaise?! Interestingly (I checked), there are no US carriers in the top 40, although eight are in the top 100...so much for American exceptionalism |
|
A forty minute shuttle took us from Krabi airport to our hotel, the Holiday Inn Express at Ao Nang beach |
|
Standard Thai housekeeping welcome |
|
Including, day-time, a view of the beach, across the street, through the trees; already feeling smarter |
|
Next morning stroll along the low-tide beach; the karsts out there in the Andaman Sea are what interests us about the area |
|
Later in the day, walking up toward the western end of Ao Nang beach |
|
Beyond the promontory is Railay Beach, which we'll visit in a few days |
|
Obligatory sunset pix... |

These are gorgeous pics! All the shoreline photos are wonderful. Penelope will love the elephant--will definitely show her that one!
