Although my sojourn in Kerala was totally relaxing and rejuvenating, I was really in need of some activity. So I took the restless red bag to Thailand, where I knew for sure that fun and further adventure was to be had. Thailand has got to be the absolutely easiest place to travel in... people are totally friendly, very little hassles, cheap as you want it to be, and everything is catered for the idling tourist. I have been here before, in January 2005 right after the tsunami, so I knew enough that I did not want to stay in Bangkok for long. After about 20 hours on Khao San road, following a yoga-like and painful Thai massage, a repiercing of my nose (hey at least I didn't get another tattoo :), the purchase of a few crap t-shirts and an amazing sleep, I arrived to Krabi. I only have a few days here, so I came down to Railay Beach.
What better amount of activity than learning how to rock climb eh! I've been on a course, did 6 climbs with the highest being about 30 meters. I was pleasantly surprised that I really enjoyed it (especially the absailing down part). Here are a few pics on the rockface and a new profile pic feeling pretty damn pleased with the accomplishment!
