Although Malaysia does not have the same reputation as its neighbouring countries, it is certainly worth getting to know and touring. You can find everything from wonderful beaches and islands (not very touristy), primary forest, jungle, nature in its purest form, cultural mix and a modern mega city like Kuala Lumpur.
Today morning of relax, breakfast, walk on the beach.
At 11:30 we go to the Airport in Krabi, Tan and her husband drop us off. They are two suns, especially her, yesterday she tried to teach me to make flowers in carrots but when she saw my skill with the knife she preferred to do it herself.
We get up early at the same time, today we will make an excursion to four islands in a longtail. We are picked up at the accommodation at the end of the beach. We pick up a Mallorcan couple visiting Phi Phi today.
Our beach
We have breakfast at 7:30, at 8 we go on an excursion to Ko Phi Phi. We've booked the tour at our hostel, Tan's husband is coming. At 8:30 we leave from Ao Nang.
We have about half an hour to arrive, first stop Bamboo Island, an impressive mini island of cerulean waters and white sand.
We had breakfast in the same place we had dinner yesterday on the beach, we are sorry to leave Ton Sai, it is a beautiful place.
Ton Sai
We decided to move to a new area, we were in Thailand a few years ago and we wanted to see Krabi.
Laos, known as "the kingdom of the million elephants" is one of the most welcoming and beautiful countries. Golden temples, orange robes, rice fields, jungle, mountains, coffee, waterfalls, the mighty Mekong River, spectacular cities such as Luang Prabang (the former capital of Indochina), Khmer archaeology, ethnic and cultural diversity, gastronomy - all these and more are the attractions Laos has to offer the traveller and make each trip unique.
We arrive in Chiang Rai at Terminal 1 at 6 am, it's pouring with rain. We take a tuk tuk to change terminal (at 2) to get to Chiang Khong.
We get on a wooden bus inside, it's very cool as well as old. We take a tuk tuk to get to the Mekong river, we have to cross it by boat to get to Laos.
We arrive at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport at 2 pm, we have two options to reach the northern border with Laos, either a flight to Chiang Rai and then take a bus to the border or take a bus from Bangkok.
