Krabi and arround

Today I rented a bike again, that's really the nicest thing to do to discover the surrounding lands.

I started this morning with a temps in the country side. Monks chants, temple ambiance, but more particularly a temple which was on the top of a cliff. 1247 steps to get there, and some of them were 40cm high, and quite narrow. Once I got up there, after having sweated like hell (maybe I hadn't sweated taht much before!), I was almost alone. Another farang wanted me to take pictures of him doing thai boxing move with the temple on his behind, quite funny, and a monk was there meditating. It was really quiet, the view was of course amazing, and I had the pleasure to meet a lot of monkeys on the way that were hoping me to give some food.

Then I went to the beaches arround, with amazing rocks everywhere on the way. The road was really nice and I was all the time fantasising about climbing there (which I know is widely possible during the dry season). I reached a couple touristic beaches, as well as some hidden mangrove and a sort of boat station where I watched a thai box match on the TV.

Tomorrow I leave early in the morning, and spend the day in the bus to Kuala Lumpur. I made a strategical mistake when I booked this flight but whatever, I just waste a day and probably few dozens of euros, not more.

I hope the video gives an idea..
What you can't see is big Buddha around which I turn while filming.
