Just Hangin’ With My Homies, Railay Beach – Thailand.
Koh Lanta
Through climbing and Lillan, I ended up hanging with a group that got pretty tight. Enjoyed the spontaneity of how we got together and I felt completely at ease with these new friends that I hope I will keep in touch with. Our little group consisted of:Lillan and me, who’s history you know; Henric and Christian, two Norwegians who are travelling the world; Jo and Sylvia, two pharmacists of all things, Jo from New Zealand and Sylvia from Scotland. They had met H & C in Nepal and then ran into them again in Krabi!
The main bonding point was climbing but we did other stuff as well, such as eat, party etc… I was very sad to leave Krabi on account of the fun I was having in my last days there and in fact went two days over my visa!!!
All good things must end. What a stupid saying!! But I guess it’s true. We had one last day of rock climbing together in which I discovered bouldering an aspect of rock climbing that improves your skills and is a lot of fun in its own. Could have used a crash pad though!!!
So the six of us on after a day of rock climbing/bouldering/volleyball/lying on the beach spent the last evening we would all be together celebrating Jo’s birthday on the beach with a bottle of jack Daniel’s and a bottle of gin. We all got stupidly drunk and ended up at a beach bar where we danced the night away under the moon. Taking time out for a dip in the ocean.
Koh Lanta
One thing about the evening I will never forget is the boat ride from Railay beach to Oa Nang beach where we chose to party. It was dusk and a feeling of Jack Daniel’s induced well being washed over me as we rode the long tail past the silhouettes of sailboats, fishing boats and majestic limestone karsts rising from the sea. The night temperature perfectly suited for the t-shirt and shorts I was wearing.
It capped off a great week of climbing and was a fitting last night to a month in Thailand.
The crew ended up going to a cowboy bar that we had frequented earlier in the week but I had to give it a miss as I had to catch a bus early the next morning…precipitating another couple of adventures.
