Thailand - Day 6 Railay Beach

Our last breakfast on the beach.  This evening we are heading back to Bangkok, but scheduled our flight so we could hang out on the beach for the day. 
Because of rough seas the longtails do not anchor on the beach today and wait off shore for the seas to calm 

 doing a bit of planning for the next few days in Bangkok, while enjoying lemon tea in the shade.  For those very observant, or those who simply like to point out my mistakes, the lemon is already mixed with the tea and the lime is a garnish.  almost equal parts lemon and tea, which is delicious when you are hot and thirsty.


 garbage "barge" 

 on doctors orders we made sure not to die of thirst.  best tasting medicine I have ever had

 mieng kham, a delicious snack with roasted shrimp, peanuts, ginger, lime, green mango, and coconut, wrapped in a chaphlu leaf (pepper family) and served with a sweet fish dipping sauce.  goes great with beer on a hot day

Due to the rough seas, we ended up having to catch our return boat from East Beach, which at low tide means wading out through "sea mud" to get to your boat as these people had to do...
...or riding in one of the elevated "cattle cars" which is pulled out to the waiting boats by tractor


 Thankfully our friend Sang at the resort arranged a ride out to our boat and escorted us all the way from West Beach


Safely on our boat (photo not actually our boat, but they all look the same) we begin our trip back to the docks, then to Krabi for our flight back to Bangkok
