Ao Nang, Krabi

After Phuket I took a bus to Ao Nang beach in Krabi. This was quite a pleasant place, with more perfect beaches and good pubs and restaurants. Here I went on a longboat ride around some of the islands, and a kayaking trip to the "Garden of Eden". You kayak up a river and then into a low rock tunnel. It gets completely dark in the tunnel, so you have to kayak blindly for a while. Then, you emerge into a lush river lagoon with no other exit. We also kayaked to a cave containing petroglyphs from 2000 B.C.

I also went to the Cobra Show, involving several hissing Black Cobras, and the biggest King Cobra I'd ever seen! (bigger than the previous biggest one I'd seen in Penang)
