Ao Nang and farewell, Krabi!
Ao Nang. Just in time for sunset. In fact, it was the last one that we were going to enjoy as we were heading home the next day.
Watching the sun disappeared below the horizon on this side of Thailand was a remarkably enchanting moment. Perhaps it was the sky that had its breadth painted effortlessly in a harmonious blend of pink, purple, blue, and orange. Perhaps it was the sea which appeared emerald at one second, and miraculously turned gold the other. Perhaps it was the limestone karsts that seemed to be lifted up from the ocean depths and gradually darkened into haunting silhouettes as the rays faded.
Perhaps, it was only me who just happened to fall in love with the sun-drenched Andaman coast. Southern Thailand… You were indeed magical.
Sunset from the terrace of our hotel
Coconut palms on Ao Nang Beach
Long-tails and evening sky
Exquisite leather crafts. My principle of not buying animal skin products caused me to discard the initial intention of getting one of these.
One of the many walking streets
Avatar and hot ass! :P
A statue of a Greco-Roman god under the moonlight
Buffet spread at Bernie’s Place. 150 baht for vegetarians and 250 baht for the rest (drinks not included in the price though). You pay before you eat. Experience told me that they didn’t seem to check what we ate, so perhaps you could try paying the veg price and getting the non-veg dishes. But try at your own risk only! :P
Grilled chicken, farfalle, skewer, what else?
Soap carvings
All hail the great American icon, the King of all fast food chains!
O.O
We had these at McDonald’s the next morning, and they can’t be found anywhere else in Malaysia! Shown here: Samurai Pork Burger, Chicken Ham Pie, and Cheesy Fries.
Going home! Check out the amulets that adorned the dashboard and windshield of our driver’s vehicle. So typically Thai! :D

And that’s a wrappp! Oh boy, can’t believe I took 6 months to finish my 13-part Krabi & Ko Phi Phi trip that actually took place more than a year ago! Talk about being a bad, bad blogger. :P But anyway, I’m thrilled to have completed one of my many travel series at last! Still a good reason to celebrate, ain’t it? ;)

Never mind whether we have it or not, I wouldn’t want to go to McD in Thailand. So much delicious stuff to explore…
suituapui´s freshest bake…
Haha… Normally I just go there for their sundaes! ;)
You are so patient to take up 6 months to complete whereas I am so lazy and just simply post without directions. Your latest photos are really nice and I mean it!
Haha… Thanks! :D
It was such a relaxed place… I wish we had stayed longer!

Thanks! :)
That was a nice series – the pictures are splendid and make you want to fly there immediately. Don’t feel bad in taking 6 months to write, that is nothing. I have not written my posts on our trip to Mexico and we went there in April 2009…but I’ll talk about it someday. What a great trip you had.
Vagabonde´s freshest bake…

Hi. I wonder where Bernie’s Place is? At Ao Nang or Krabi Town? Going in the beginning of Feb. Many thanks.
It’s in Ao Nang, just 5 minutes’ walk from the beach! Krabi town is actually some 20-30 minutes’ ride from the coast. ;)
