Krabi, Thailand


Our amazing resort....The Sheraton!!
Beautiful sunset...about the only one we saw.


The Beach
One of the awesome pools.

Having a drink in the pool....doesn't get much better!


We had a lot of good drinks all week. Especially the mango juice!!

Me and Aaron

The beautiful beach....however the water was so warm.
It was very hot in Thailand...probably mid 90's all week
and 90% humidity. So HOT!! We sweated a lot and took
lots of showers. Then all we wanted to do was jump in the
water to cool off, but....wrong the water was like bath water
and wasn't very refreshing at all. They said it hadn't rained
in about 4 months so that might explain a lot!
One of the other pools.

Our hotel room...they were so nice.

Kaelan....with Aaron's hat and my flip flops.
He loved the water and would just jump in
at any time or moment...he didn't care and
would have drowned if we weren't right
there with him. He loved putting his face
and head under water. He was crazy!
The complex where our room was.

Our speed boat excursion of the many islands...it was such a
great day even though I was massively sunburned. And pretty
sure this is the only picture of the 5 of us we have, but...turned out good.

Kaelan driving the boat...he loved being at the steering
wheel and then he was a happy little camper!!
The shores of Koh Phangan in the Gulf of Thailand.
This is where the movie "The Beach" was filmed with
Leonardo DiCaprio. It was a beautiful beach.
Me and Jess

This spot was a very big tourist attraction
hence all the people and boats.

Snorkeling......we found NEMO!!!
We snorkeled at several different spots, but
the last one was by far the best. We saw beautiful
coral reef, the water was crystal clear and the
fish were amazing!!
Travis and Jess snorkeling.....(sorry Trav....loved this picture)!!

A live clam

The mean sea urchin!!!
Aaron stepped on one and got about 5 stings in his foot!
He was in quite a bit of pain at first and even the next
few days due to all the walking.
Some of the coral reefs
The many fish...we fed them some bread
and hundreds just swarmed around.



Some more of the beautiful coral....this is actually taken from
the boat. Just shows you how clear the water was!!!

Jess and Kaelan swimming with all the fish

Me and Aaron with our snorkeling gear, surrounded by fish.

This is a place where birds nest are made and then they
actually use the nest to make some kind of soup!
Yuck..doesn't sound good to me, but..
Amazing scenery
Incredible limestone cliffs.


Travis and Jess. This was our first night in Thailand
and we went out to this great restaurant that was way up
on a hill overlooking the water. The food was delicious too!!
Me and Jess at dinner. This was such a fun night!

Our coconut drinks!

Our guys!

Longboats
We took one of these longboats over to Railay beach
and spent the day hanging out there. It was a beautiful
place, but once again it was very hot and the water
was very warm. The sun was intense...and yes I got burned!
It was about a 20 minute boat ride from our resort.
Love this picture of Kaelan with the longboat in the background!

Me and Aaon on the longboat.

The beautiful beach

The Custer's

Kaelan...going out to snorkle...those are som big flippers!

The dredful durian.

The Krabi night market.
We took a shuttle bus into the town of Krabi one
night and went to the market. It was definitely a
cultural experienc. There were stands set up
everywhere with many different foods and goods
to be bought. It was acutally really fun.
Shrimp!
This is what we had for an appitizer at dinner one night. We
went to this local resturant right on the water in Ao Nang.
We had lots of good seafood and the shrimp were huge and
oh so GOOD!!! Yes...were were still eating!!!
And....that was our trip in Thailand! It was so fun and am so glad
we got to experience that part of the world! What a trip!!!
