Wow So many things too write about only 18 minutes before the boat leaves

The next day after our relaxing day exploring koh lanta was back to work. We had to do laundry (aka hand over dirty laundry to Thai ladies who washed, ironed and folded our clothes) and plan our next destination. We heared a lot about Railey Beach off Krabi and decided to make that our next home. To get to Railey we took a speed boat and a long tail boat and we were there withing a few hours, it was really easy. Although one at Railey, this is when things turned interesting. The island is beautiful it has huge lime green cliffs and white sand with palm trees and a lot of European older tourists who have money to spend and stay there for a week or (they vacation). While the other tourists (backpackers) stay on Ton Sai which is 3 minute boat ride away or a 20 minute hike up a large cliff. We spend 3 hours with our backpacks walking around Railey and trying to find a room that we can agree on, but it was impossible, it was a huge rip off. They wanted 3 times more than our already deflated budget.

We met a Canadian couple who told us about Ton Sai and we hoped on a long tail boat arrived at the place we will come home for the next few days. I saw a phone and ran to call my parents who were on their way to work at the time. We had to settle for a bamboo hut for the night as it was already dark outside and we were exhausted. In Canada this hut would not be rated 1 star. I think the dog house would be nicer. It was the size of the bed, with a fan and an outhouse washroom. The washroom did not flush nor did it have a sink. Over the bed there was a green net that prevented the flys from eating you while you were sleeping. Marc and I were so tired we only noticed how bad it was in the morning.

Next day we found a beautiful place in the mountain, with a breakfast buffet, and a flushing toilet. Our standards have changed thanks to the bamboo experience. The island we are staying on has elictricity only half a day because its very expensive to get it there. It has a really cool vibe to it with all the backpackers. Ton sai is known for climbing and scuba diving. Today we are doing a tour of the Phi Phi Islands where the Beach was filmed. I gotta go because our boat is about to leave but promise to return as soon as possible.
