Krabi, only a short day Sunday 30th December
A genuine lazy start today, 10:00 am, not our usual lazy start and we still start cycling by 8:30. Today only being 20 km from Ao Nang one tourist town to Krabi another tourist town (but still manages to be nice).

Ao Nang, back on the mainland Saturday 29th December
After checking ferries and where they go to and depart from, our choice ended up as the 3:30 pm large speedboat from Tha Manok pier to Nopparat Thara pier Ao Nang.
Scooters everwhere on Tha Manok pier
Ko Yao Noi, a day off Friday 28th December
A very short post today, as we did not move more than 50 metres from our bungalow.
We tried to get a nice sunrise but it was too cloudy really but it was OK.

Ko Yao Noi, onto another island, Thursday 27th December
Today was a very short cycling day, in fact we went further on the Longboat crossing between islands than we cycled.
This is one of the islands petrol stations
Ko Yao Yai, another island Wednesday 26th December
Hello Boxing Day and despite saying we would have a slow relaxed start we were still out just before 9:00 am. As our carried luggage is now a little lighter after sending some things back home, what do you do? You think about buying some more things. We had been thinking about a wireless speaker so we can listen to the radio only there is no TV channel to watch in any of the resorts or hotels we have stopped in (probably as they are always the cheap ones!) But the shop was closed, thwarted once more, we continued to the pier.
The tide goes out near the pier
Happy Christmas, day off in Phuket Town, Tuesday 25th December
There was no sign of Santa anywhere here, a normal working day in a country of Buddhists. The new year is when everyone celebrates in Thailand.
Much of the shipbuilding is in wood
Phuket Town, Pacific Inn Monday 24th December
As we found out today there are very few quiet roads on Phuket Island, everywhere is just busy.
One of the tranquil moments, a fisherman netting from the lake
Phuket Airport, Nice Nap hostel Sunday 23rd December
It was not the best night’s sleep last night, the air conditioner seemed to be all or nothing, icy cold or uncomfortably warm.
Nai Yang beach
Thai Mueang, a hot mornings cycling Saturday 22nd December
Today we have only 40 km planned with accommodation already booked in Thai Mueang, which means an unhurried start.
