RaiLey

After another two weeks in KL, I began feeling a little bored so decided to head North to Thailand with fellow couch surfer Max. After a 21 hour journey (most of which felt like it was spent waiting at the border) we arrived on the beautiful secluded peninsula of RaiLey in the Krabi region. It feels a lot like an island, but it isn't. There are no vehicles and you must reach it by boat. Jeeva (who hosted both Max and I) suggested that we come here and recommended a place for us to stay.

We found a great hotel and are paying a little bit more than you would expect in Thailand, but for $7 each we have a room with a private bathroom, fan, AC (which doesn't really work), pool and beautiful view of the island (I mean peninsula).

People come here to rock climb. There are cliffs surrounding the island. Today, Max and I took a little walk up one of them, although it was more of climb than anything else. There was a look out point where you can see the whole peninsula (pictures will be up on shutterfly at some point). There is also a lagoon that you can walk to. It was a little bit of a steep climb down though, and we decided not to risk breaking anything. So just admired it from the top as best we could.

Tomorrow we will head off someplace new, but not too far away since I have to be back in KL in a few days.
