Thailand- a journey (part5)

With a wonderful and colorful sunrise did I woke up the next morning. Softly breezing the wind and I opened my window to let it in. This day will be museum day and also seeing a new Wat and a hot spring as well. The hot spring we visited is very new in his area and they are still building so it needs a lot of work to go on and the area around too. But they try and celebrate with colorful ribbons this place. So we did not stay long and if we'd known better, we had not been there at all but then... we drove away and to another hot spring you can bath in.. well kind of.. it was a natural park with a water coming from springs and also from hot springs and so the water has many different minerals and is very clear. Many people actually had fun there. 

Then it was time to Travel to Krabi, where the beach is white, the sun is hot and the drinks are cold, but first, let me show you the pics from the morning, the hotel, the hot spring and from a Wat and by the way next to this Wat is the Klong Tom Museum and you should go inside as it shows what culture is here and around this area. 

right next to the hotel was a chines coffee and breakfast

inside the Hotel- only nice things

you remember the Hotel is next to the train station

 ....and then the way was directly going to Krabi. My Hotel booked already over Booking.com, was -lucky me- at the beach. :-) A shopping and hotel street of course right in front of the door and a lot of Exchange possibilities for your money. 

As I have arrived after lunchtime I went to take a walk to discover Krabi and the beach, bought some food and drinks and went again to walk down the beach to see, where I could come or better how far, as the beach is long, long, long but with the afternoon, possibilities rises to also reach some cliffs on the water, which I did and back I came walking through water when it was dark. But I must warn you. The sun is very strong at that place and you must take it slow, but most of all avoid drinking cold and fast and better drink warm or not iced liquid as it would be to much for your body and sooner bring your body to fail the next day as it happens to me. But now.. YES-- dream pics of a very nice place... also it is good to stay in Krabi cos it is already made up for tourist, but not to much.

Thailand- a journey (part2)

Now lets's see how my travel went on. All in english and hopefully well written. 

Being back to the airport, it was time to fly with Thai smile airways to Hat Yai. There my guide guy kept me up and we started immediately our tour through the south.

Being near Malaysia means also that most people are muslim and not buddhist here in that area. The south is actually not so much discovered from tourist so it is kind of pure and less the european style with hotels and food. Which I think is perfect for each who want to discover the land and people itself. 

Of course we drove to a museum, which was much bigger as I thought it would be- seeing it rom the outside and it shows the history of the area, of Thailand, shows weapons and art, shows how people lived in the past and religious made it into the every day live. It is a very god museum next to the big Songkhla Lake. On the lake by the way you find  a fisher mans village and as I must say they seem to have it quite good as the houses were made of wood and colored. 

On the way down from the hill where the museum is, we saw houses which looks like ovens but are not. It's part of a hotel. At the lake I ate with my guide, our driver and his father a very typical Thai meal which tasted very good. We took it all as you can see.

the museum is parted in many houses

the lake I wrote about and the view on the Tinsulanonda Brigde

first you may thing of oven... but.. no

the view I had while eating all the food

After being propped with all the food it was time to drive again and on the way we came to the first lying Buddha, which I pleased them to stop by. It's a nice small Wat at the highway and the energy was warm and soft.

the Buddha is to find at the Wat Pranom Laem Pho

Now our way went to a river and near to another Temple, though we did not went into the temple but on the market to the market on the river. Folks and food! What an energy, what a fun and interesting view to catch.

Then it was time to travel to the beach and find the first place to stay. Simple and sure a two star, but comfy, though the shower had only cold water. But who will complain. If you want it cheap then don't expect four star lyx... But the morning was nice and taking some steps on the other south coast was done. Now it was to go on to Satun, but first, breakfast.
