Ate in same place as yesterday because is was so god. Ordered fried rice with pork, the waitress kept asking if I wanted prawn, so I said no Pork...Pig. Whe it arrived it was fried rice with squid. Went to the south east coast of Ton Sai Bay for the evening. Chilled out at a bar with those triangular lounging seats and had a few Changs. They were playing really good music and eventually they brought out the fire skipping rope. So I thought I'd give it a go, really good fun. They were making me jump about 2 feet in the air each time and eventually it hit me round the leg and the rope flew off and landed on top of a bucket of parrafin, luckily it didn't ignite. After that they set up a fire limbo, which me and Coops attempted, gets quite hot around when you go under it, and its really hard in the sand because your feet get stuck every time a wave comes. Then they set up a game that me and Coops thought was just who could balance on one leg the longest with a baloon round your foot, turns out we had to pop the others balloon. It went on for ages, was me and a German bloke running around the beach trying to kick each other behind the legs with no luck, we just kept snapping each others rubber bands rather than popping the balloons. The german bloke won in the end and got a free bucket out of it. On the way me and Burns spotted the Pro Evo place and couldn't resist a game. Played 3 games, Burns won the first I won the second and in the final game (Brazil Portugal) Burns was literally about to score, the ball was past the keeper and the net about to bulge and the Thai bloke unplugged the console, so we had to start again, don't think Burns was very happy about it, he spanked me anyway. On the way back to the dorm we was a vendor selling meat on sticks, so I got one ate a bit of chicken off the end then went for the next chunk without looking, chewed it tried to swallow it but it got stuck in my throat because it was so spicy. It was literally the spiciest thing I have ever experienced. I instantly started sweating, my eyes started watering and my nose wouldn't stop running.

Got up early to catch the ferry to Krabi. Girls stopped at a bakery on the way to get cakes so I took the oppertunity to get a stawberry bread thing, Burns got a tiny donut for like 1 baht. Got a taxi-longtail boat from Krabi to Railey beach. Walked from Railey East to Railey West, the entire beach is full of resorts, all really expensive made for people on 1 and 2 week holidays, rather touristy. Sat down at a place to eat at about 12, me and Pat ordered Mash and gravy, it didn't arrive until 1:15 and was cold and lumpy, so I told them I didn't want mine. Me Helen and Coops wandered off to find a place to stay, ended up finding a place called Cabana, 700 Baht a night for 2 huts in a really secluded peacefull part of the area. I set up my hammok and chilled out for a bit. We all had a nap and didn't wake until about 6:30 and it was already dark outside. So we went to the Rock, to eat and all decided to have a Hamburger, best burger I've had, excluding the hurricane burger at the ele. Played cards for a while before going to bed. Realised that there were no mozzie protectors on the windows and there were massive holes in the walls, so I got bitten a lot during the night.

Went for a walk to Ton Sai beach, which is apparently 800m from where we were staying. It was an immense trek up and down slippery gravel tracks. Spent all day chilling out on the beach which was much nicer than Railey beach beacuse there were no resorts, only local bars and huts. I delivered Dam's package to his friend at the Chill Out Bar on the beach, quite weird to think that someone I worked with for a year used to live on this beach. Had breakfast at a place where there was a kitten, Coops was first on the scene and had it sleeping in her lap for about half an hour. Then we all watched it walking around the table and slipping over on the playing cards. Found a place on the beach with a swing, an awesome hammok and a tree that was perfect for climbing, stayed there all afternoon. we had a look at some monkeys and then got a longtail boat back to Railey to watch the sun set. When we got back to the hut we noticed that the light was on and the toilet reaked, turns out someone had been into the room and had a turd and left it there! Ate at the Rock again and then went to the Stone Bar for a few Changs. Rich and pat went to watch the football back at Railey beac and the rest of us carried on the would you rather convo before going to bed.

Me Helen and Coops got up early to go try out some rock climbing. Got to the Rock Climbing place and were fitted out with harnesses and really small shoes. Looked at the rock we were going to climb and got a little worried, the rocks were just sheer edges and with pretty much no holds at all and lots of overhangs. The guide led the climb like a monkey and made it look like a piece of piss. When I got to the wall I noticed that there were loads of places to jam your hands in so it wasn't too bad, quite an easy climb to begin with. Coops followed and made pretty light work of it, but didn't make it look as easy as helen who was up to the top in a flash with no problems. Carried on climbing until midday trying harder and harder climbs each time, I got stuck on the last one right at the top, all the holds were tiny things you could only get two fingers on and had to jump to grab them. Really glad we did it, such good fun, but really tiring. Went at met up with the lads on Railey Beach in the afternoon. sat at the Sand Sea resort and ordered 2 chicken burgers and a fish burger. 1 chicken burger and one fish burger arrived after about 20 minutes and the waitress said, oh another chicken burger. Helens chicken burger looked like it was a vegy burger. After an hour waiting I asked where my chicken burger was and a few mins later it arrived, and actually looked like a chicken burger. So we complained about the service saying that we didn't get what we ordered and had to wait for an hour for a chicken burger and the manager said that the first chicken burger was old and they didn't have much chicken so made it out of vegetables to make it bigger! Spent the rest of the day relaxing on the beach, and I spent most of the evening moaning that every joint in my body ached really bad. Went back, when we got back to the hut the light was on again and a new fresh turd was in the toilet, sick b******s! We had a nap before eating at the Rock again and then went to bed. I literally felt like a crippled 80 year old man all day and could hardly move.

Got a longtail boat all the way to Krabi town and dumped our stuff at the Bai-Fern guest house. Went for a wander round Krabi town. Quite a nice town you don't get people trying to sell you suits everywhere you go, and its quite relaxed.
