A very early rise today, I’m going to do the Dragon CrestMountain Hike, it’s going to be a hot day so I start my hike just after 8 in the morning
Despite starting early it was stinking hot and by the time I came out of the forest and into the open my t-shirt was absolutely soaking wet, I took it off and hung it up to (hopefully) dry while I continued to the summit, which is here in the photo
There’s a spot here that’a fantastic for photos but people have died trying to get that shot (if I’m not mistaken) so they’re now warning for it and something has been closed of with some fence
Nice views here
And this amazing landscape, Krabi is definitely very different from Phuket
To get to the very highest point here you must climb this ladder
And then you get rewarded with views like this
I’m on the way back, this is the track, a little later I could pick up my t-shirt again, it was still half wet
This is – no kidding – one of the things to see when doing this hike: the Nam Ta Nak ‘Pond’, which is nothing more than a puddle of water
From here it just goes down
And down
Until I get to the entrance again. Good walk, exhausting but worth it
I needed to cool off, which means: go on my scooter somewhere. I went to KuanNom Saow
Where the views are once again amazing
So lush and green
And the food is very good too!
Hmmmm, looks like some rain will be coming in
There’s also a campground here and they built a swing
So that’s where I just was, up there, enjoying the view. Now I want to get back home quickly because I expect rain
I was right, lots and lots of rain. It takes me a long time to get back to the hotel because every 10 minutes I need to shelter somewhere from the rain. And that was the end of yet another day in Thailand
