A very early rise today, I’m going to do the Dragon Crest<\/a> Mountain Hike<\/a>, it’s going to be a hot day so I start my hike just after 8 in the morning<\/p><\/div>\n

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<\/p><\/div>\n

There’s a spot here that’a fantastic for photos<\/a> 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<\/p><\/div>\n

Nice views here<\/p><\/div>\n

And this amazing landscape, Krabi is definitely very different from Phuket<\/p><\/div>\n

To get to the very highest point here you must climb this ladder<\/p><\/div>\n

And then you get rewarded with views like this<\/p><\/div>\n

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<\/p><\/div>\n

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<\/p><\/div>\n

From here it just goes down<\/p><\/div>\n

And down<\/p><\/div>\n

Until I get to the entrance again. Good walk, exhausting but worth it<\/p><\/div>\n

I needed to cool off, which means: go on my scooter somewhere. I went to Kuan<\/a> Nom Saow<\/p><\/div>\n

Where the views are once again amazing<\/p><\/div>\n

So lush and green<\/p><\/div>\n

And the food is very good too!<\/p><\/div>\n

Hmmmm, looks like some rain will be coming in<\/p><\/div>\n

There’s also a campground here and they built a swing<\/p><\/div>\n

So that’s where I just was, up there, enjoying the view. Now I want to get back home quickly because I expect rain<\/p><\/div>\n

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<\/p><\/div>\n
