The journey to Krabi from Karon beach began bright and early. We somehow mustered up the will power for a morning beach run, despite the already scorching temps and the fact that neither of us are really the barefooted running types. 20 minutes into the run and my feet had already begun to blister, at this point we decided that jumping into overwhelmingly inviting ocean was a much more suitable option.
