Krabi, Thailand

We've had mixed success with the beach vacations we've scheduled on our trip.  We had great weather in Hvar, Croatia and Zanzibar, Tanzania but we were flooded out of Fiji and it was rainy and cold in Ibiza, Spain.

Our beach vacation in Krabi got off to a bad start as it was pouring rain when we walked out of the airport. Our hotel assured us that things would improve but we weren't optimistic.

The good news is we had great weather for the rest of our three day stay.  We thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful beach.

The resort provides very comfortable bean bags to lay on

Vanessa hardly moved from the hammock during our stay

Blake got sunburned on our first day and hid in the shade after that

Don't know how this black dog could stand the hot sun and sand 

His white friend was smarter and napped in the shade

We got an unexpected bonus in Krabi - amazing sunsets!  They were as good as any we've ever seen.







The resort was really nice too.

A nice pool in case you get tired of the beach

We really enjoyed the beautiful scenery in Krabi and it was a great relaxing holiday before we headed to our last stop in Thailand - the capital city of Bangkok.
