Update 18: Life in Krabi, Thailand

Krabi, Thailand

Hello:

In the last update, I had just arrived in Krabi, Thailand. Since then, I took a long-tail boat to Railay Beach, moved over to Ao Ton Sai where the rock climbers hang, as it were. I tried my hand at snorkeling. Twice, friendly rock-climbers from North America took me up a wall. I am not really a climber, but even I could tell that the climbing here is excellent. Addicted climbers come from all over the world just to get their hands on the rock. The limestone here has morphed into every shape, including "jugs" that are like handles built into the rock.

I came back to Krabi Town and experienced small-town life in South Thailand. By motorbike I saw some of the local semi-tourist spots, fed some giant catfish, and swam in a mangrove forest.

For the web techies and curious geographers out there, I did a quick analysis of the countries from which people visit ItinerantWitness.com.

Good sojourn,

Mark
