Autumn break on the beach

After a number och changed plannes (a typhoon destroyed plans for Central Vietnam and a Thai public holiday any plans for anything close to Bangkok) we finally ended up spending autumn break in Southern Thailand.

To get to Railey Beach we flew down to Krabi, took a taxi to Ao Nang, spent the night at a comfortable hotel and did some shopping before we took the boat around the cliff to "our" beach. Only a fifteen minute boat ride from the busy charter town it felt a million miles away. No cars, no motorbikes, no shops, no streets, not even beach vendors. Just a white sandy bay with turqoise water all surrounded by high cliffs and green djungle. And a couple of simple bungalow resorts, a few restaurants on the beach, a place where to get a Thai massage and a tiny shop where you could get beer or a new beach ball if yours would get lost.

And we are very happy our plans got changed. Now we just have to do some serious thinking and planning on how to get back to live in tropical paradise again, preferably on the beach!
