Krabi, Thailand






Before moving on to Thailand we had to make our way back to Georgetown, Penang to arrange our 60 day Thai visas. We stayed in Georgetown for two nights at a guesthouse called StarLodge, owned by two Chinese brothers who loved to learn for free. The next day we made our way to the The Thai Embassy to apply for our visas, a long wait but luckily we all got accepted. The following morning we got picked up at 8 a.m for a 9 hour mini bus journey to Krabi, Thailand, which was a long, hot and uncomfortable journey. When we arrived we met up with our friends from Langkawi in our hotel, that night we all went to the food market and on to yet another ReggaeBar! The following morning we went for breakfast and then got a
TuckTuck to the Tiger Cave Temple in a tropical rainforest, which is a place of worship and home to over 250 Buddhist Monks. There is also a GIANT staircase of 1237 steps which winds up a limestone cliff, reaching the top will reward you with an incredible view and there is a huge sitting Buddha, a golden pagoda and a few other small constructions. Tho very sweaty and tired it was worth the hike! Tomorrow we will get a boat to out next stop Koh Phi Phi.
