FOR some reason, Keat and I travelled to Thailand twice in two months – one a planned beach holiday, another a unplanned city getaway that sprung out of a work trip (mine).
Well, we’re not complaining – we really do love the country so – barring red shirts, yellow shirts , protests, and what nots.
Here are some pictures we took on both holidays, firstly with Krabi in June:
This is the resort we stayed at with our own private beach. The resort was about 15 to 20 minutes by van from Ao Nang, the main town in Krabi, so it wasn’t on the main tourist stretch. It wasn’t the best beach ever, but it was quiet. The service at the resort though was excellent.
Our wonderful and very comfy bed for two.
He always loved to accessorise.
We took the van to Ao Nang and one of the views that we caught that evening: long tailed boats on the beach. 
The next day, we went island-hopping via speedboat.
And I created this on the beach where they shot the movie The Beach. It had the most pristine of waters and softest sand. Unfortunately, it was crawling with tourists. We tried to keep the tourists out of our shots.
And I forgot about the waves.
We took dips in the resort pool. Lovely.
A very sunburnt me on the private beach just outside the resort.
Here’s some of the food we ate on the trip. Above: Doesn’t look like it, but this was Tom Yam Soup from the resort’s Thai restaurant. A more upmarket version, and less spicy too, I suppose, to suit the Western palate.
The resort’s Italian restaurant made very lovely gelatos and sorbets. This was Mango sorbet I think.
