THAILAND TRAILS

THAILAND TRAILS

We took a funny approach to Thailand and used many modes of transport. We started with a 10 hour trip in a minibus from Penang in Malaysia to Krabi on the west coast of Thailand. This is a pretty neat place with a big reputation for rock climbing and some very nice resorts and lovely offshore islands with great beaches. From there we used ferries to hop from Krabi to Phi Phi Island to Phuket with about 3 days in each place. From Phuket we used local buses to get to the airport 40 kms out of town and flew to Chiang Mai which is in the north of the country. Another 3 days in a great city and then the 4.30 pm train back down to Bangkok. This is an overnight sleeper with a bit of good scenery at the start before it gets dark. A few days await us in Bangkok and then we fly on to Hanoi in the north of Vietnam
