Another early start and another unusual breakfast. Today I found an old lady selling pancakes stuffed with coconut, coconut cream and sweet corn and toffee and burned rice - wow! We decided to go exploring today on the bikes and head out along the coast. We found some interesting places met some strange characters and had a really good lunch. Later in the afternoon we headed to Krabi to checkout the Night Markets and drop one of the rental bikes back. On the way...

Myself, Matty and Koster decide to head first into Krabbi for some alxohol and snacks for tonight and then straight down the beach. First impressions of beach are very good - incredibly scenic and quiet with not loads of tourists. We spend the afternoon swimming walking about and then head back to the h...
