We left the comfort of West Railay beach today and ventured out by longtail boat to the wilds of Ao Nang (about 10 minutes away) to do some shopping. Longtail boats are called longtail boats because of the long propeller at the back. They are very loud and bellow black smoke but they look really nice.
We got a photo leaving West Railay beach so you can get an idea of the size of the surrounding cliffs - the area is very popular with climbers - we saw some guy clinging half-way up one of the cliffs today - he didn't get too far before he saw sense.
Not much to say about Ao Nang - lots of shops selling t-shirts and souvenirs. It also rained A LOT! Heavy showers which didn't last too long but would drench you if you got caught out in one. The only sensible thing for us to do was to find a restaurant and have lunch - the cheapest one we've had yet! Lunch over, we hit the beer and sat there drinking, chatting, and making plans until the rained stopped (a few hours later!). It eventually stopped as the sun was setting so we hopped on the boat back to Railay.
