What a difference a day makes. Today was better, Mostly due to the public transport.It was a pain in the balls to get a bus because there didnt seem to be any bus stations and the buses rarely came past. but when they did it was just 20 bhat each way (40p) This was a massive improvement over yesterday when i was taking taxis and mopeds everywhere.the weather was good for most of the day and overcast at worst. No rain all day. It was windy but, it was refreshingly cool rather than just cold like back home.
Patong beach was better than i expected, possibly because i was so depresed the day before and mabie because its only the 3rd beach I have been to so far (1st Rayong just briefly for food, and the 2nd in hua hin). I expect (well i hope) Krabi will put patong to shame.It was very touristy with jet skis and Mc D's up and down the beach, bars all along the back streets but either side of the long strip of beach was nice. on the far south of the beach there is a little cove where a river meets the sea. It was shallow water, shallow enough to walk through and on the other side there was a secluded (well compared to everything else..) buddist shrine and a fewwooden boats stacked against the trees.
In the north there was (what i think is actualy Kalim beach) a rocky landscape. jagged roacks and crab pools everywhere. The tiny little pools of water had a mass of life moving about within. crabs, small fish (but big for the pool at about 5-6 inches) and shrimp like creaturesat one point you could see about 50 crabs all in the same location running into the sea (away from me) symoultaniously. I tried to get a photo on my kodak but most had dispersed before i could turn it on. I still have a shot of about 20 crabs and the sea crashing into them that i may post.ANyway it was a nice little section of coast on an otherwise busy beach.
Crazy fish in the market that i would be scared to touch nevermind eat.
Told off n the bus for scrunching the 20bhat note! It was disrespectfull to the king
