Asia Trip: Day 97 - Krabi to Ao Nang (4/21/19)

Daily Highlights:

• Woke up after a great nights sleep

• Walked around and looked for breakfast

  • Got a couple of smoothies

  • Went to a few temples in the morning heat

• Decided at the last minute to go to Ao Nang

  • Took a 50 Baht taxi ride

• Decided to stay at Slumber Party Hostel (terrible choice)

• We explored Ao Nang in the awful heat

  • Then meandered back to the hostel

• I decided to go on a three mile run in the heat

• We went to dinner, came back to the hostel, and there was a massive party in the lobby

  • Everyone was so loud and so drunk

  • One dude was completely nude, in front of a small crowd of people, and trying to get girls to go in the shower with him

  • One girl just got out of the shower (after having sex with nude dude) and started to tell us about how her leg was infected because she skinny dipped in the ocean a week ago and got a chunk of coral lodged in her leg. She didn’t get it looked at for a few days, drank heavily and went into pools and oceans. Now it’s infected (shocker) and she has to stay in this town for the next two weeks to get it clean so her leg doesn’t get amputated. Also she is on medication for this. Right now she is absolutely black out drunk and her towel is constantly falling off.

  • It’s 7:15 pm on a Sunday

• WE SWITCHED TO A HOTEL

  • TOTALLY THE RIGHT CHOICE

  • There were no drunk youths in sight

    • This little taco shack was started by this Thai woman who lived in Seattle for ten years and then moved back to Thailand. She now runs this taco stand and four amazing bungalows right next door which she rented out and stayed in as well. Such an interesting life.
