Goodbye to Taco

We regret to have to announce that Taco, our 4-legged furry roommate is no longer amongst the living. He peacefully passed away whilst we were in Thailand and has lived a happy life in freedom with us.

And Sawasdee from Krabi and Ko Phi Phi

Well, there is even a lot to learn when in Thailand..... so we decided to sign up for a cooking course: penang curry, pad thai and some other local delicacies....

And this is what it then looks like:

This particular dish is called Tom Yam, in this case prepared with chicken....

Not to forget: Krabi scenery...

Buddha, after climbing all 1237 steep steps....a magnificent statue at a magnificent place...

Monkeys, at Tiger Cave Temple

And Sawasdee from West Railay...

So, we then took a longtailboat, fitted with a car engine and extremely long propellor shaft, to Railay beach, which takes about 15 minutes. Railay seems to be THE spot for climbers from all over the world, and for experience the ZEN feeling when floating in the sea and watching the steep cliffs...

Well, we did the Zen thingie and completed the day with a bit of snorkeling, sun bathing and having several things to drink. Snorkeling is nice, but I do not recommend the water here for diving....

Tomorrow we'll be off to Ao Nang...to discover the secrets of the Thai cuisine....
From there we aim to go tho Phi phi island prior to flying back to Bangkok....

Sawasdee from Siam

It is in the magical land of Siam that we are now enjoying a last holiday as a couple....

The land of Anna and the King accidentally happened to be in the line of work, and what better for a family to be than to take a break in the ancient heart of Asia?

So please be welcome to our impression from South Thailand: Krabi!
