Birthday in Krabi - Day One (Island-Hopping & Snorkeling)

Bangkok is great, but we saw the need to get *out* of the big city for a bit - four great days, to be exact. We spent Beth's birthday in a resort town called Ao Nang, just outside of Krabi, which is about 500 miles S of Bangkok.

On this first day, we checked into our hotel and hired a long-tail boat to motor us around a couple of nearby islands. We also got to snorkel in the clear 85 degree ocean:

The view from our room:  Cliffs + Andaman Sea = Wow
This was the boat that took us around for the afternoon






These treed rocks that jut out of the water were everywhere




These damsel fish are known as "Sergeant-Majors"
They took great interest in us and swarmed very close - looking for food?







I felt myself wanting to buy this boat from the driver...
