The Long Boats of Krabi, Thailand #JarvieInThailand

in #thailand5 years ago

DAY 1 AFTER BANGKOK

Our first trip after Bangkok was taking a plane to Krabi, Thailand and then a journey to Railay beach which you have to take a boat to get to.


Here's another boat heading the same direction. One wonders if they tend to go from port to port together just in case something goes wrong.


The beach on the north side has a bunch of boats there that people take to get to and from Railay.
They do a pretty good job of adding some extra interest to pictures


Some of my favorite images of the trip were these boat shots when the sky was getting nice and orange.

Beautiful. My wife and I visited Railay beach on our short trip through Malaysia and Thailand en route to Sydney in 2009. We had an absolute nightmare getting there (that’s a story for another day!) but really enjoyed our stay there. I was fascinated by the longboats in Thailand - I briefly looked into the logistics of a westerner buying a fleet of them and running them as a business at the time. It seemed difficult so I forgot about the idea.

These are great long boats shots!

Great photos! I miss seeing this in Thailand!
