Outside Krabi

I've moved on to this place outside Krabi. It's fairly remote, although I do think if decent directions were provided it would probably be far less remote. I was instructed to catch the bus from the green and pink house 200m from the bus terminal. There are almost no houses near the bus terminal within that radius, and tonnes outside it. I walked around for an hour and a half before I noticed a distinctly green apartment building. Next to it was a very pink one. Out the front was a ute with seats in the back (they have a name here - there are a lot of them - but one name they don't have is "bus". In fact I don't think they have any buses bigger than a 13 seater.

I arrived here and the place is very nice. Lots of coconut trees and mangroves, hammocks and animals around. There is a board walk through the mangroves out to the sea, and islands in the distance. Tonight a bunch of people went swimming as the water has bioluminescent plankton. I've gotta say, it's better at home and a million times better in Turkey. There was some impressive lightning in the distance though.

Tomorrow I'm hiring a kayak for 500 baht, which I'm disgusted by as that is $18, and I'm going to kayak to these 4 islands that Google tells me exist. I can see one of them, so that a plus. In the past google has repeatedly stitched me up with a lack of bridges. This time I just want the land to exist.
