+ Our last two days, in Bangkok again before the long trip home.

We went to a Hindu Temple in the city, they did not allow pictures so this is just a peak at the amazing buildings within the walls. Prayers and offereings were plentiful in the colorful complex. 

A record shop that offered many Thai Albums 

Sunday market with food and artisans.  It was rainy and humid.

We ate dinner one evening on the patio here. Small delicious plates and wine. It had two tiny staircases upstairs. We sat behind a white sheet that was installed for a movie and performance by a french woman who made a movie about Marylin Monroe. 

+ Magical Beach & Boat Adventure

Riding on our scooters, we discovered a pristine beach and beautiful hotel with a pool. Welcoming ourselves like the nice guests we were and relaxing at the extremely pleasant pool, we met friends and had a few more adventures..

Longtail boats

beach cat. there were three of these beautiful tigers hanging out

My pad Thai was so good at this little restaurant that even the meat eaters were jealous

+ Longtail boat adventure

having the time of my life pretty much. We had seen these boats in really crowded marinas, lots of tourism, and didn't want to mess with it. Then our friends said they were taking one out, just them, for a couple hours and asked if we wanted to join. It was perfect, and I'm so glad we got to experience a boat adventure away from the crowds.

Limestone Karsts details

some of the formations had cavernous openings that birds flew in and out of. I think teradactyles lived in the bigger caves. 

+ Tiger Cave temple trip

Taking a moment to appreciate the Ancient Nagas

Monkey swimming hole

a view from a third of the way up a steep winding staircase to the mountaintop temple

long skirt wraps for those with short shorts on

Another view from the stiars. There were 1200 of them, I got to 723 or so, happily called that my spot stair, and headed back down in search of a cold bottle of water. 

Roadside buddha in the works

Mushrooms

Whizzing through the country along the coast, we turned down a random alley and hello pristine cove with bright green waters! We spent the day here, met some nice people, and came back the next day too!

Never thought much about motorcycles and bikes, but now that im on the other side, man they are fun. (That being said, i'm going out to buy a Harley anytime soon.)

Temple Monkies. This sneaky little guy stole my sunglasses and I have it all on film because I was taking a video and he came and sat on my lap! Jasper devised a plan that worked and we got them back.

Really one of my favorite memories, driving the country roads between Krabi and Ao Nang <3

Stupa tops (sorry im sure this is not the right term) along the stairway to the top of the Tiger Cave Temple

A farm of some kind. Note the little sideays pots on each tree. Sap? Rubber?

Temple dog.
