The photo in the header

Hi

I chose to introduce first that nice place in the top of the site.The beach called Hat Phra Nang, or Phra Nang beach, and it is in Krabi, Thailand.

Krabi is around 1000km south of Bangkok. We flew there by AirAsia, a budget airline of this region; it was around 1 hour and 20 minutes. From the airport, it is around 40 minutes drive to Ao Nang, a beach town of Krabi province. We stayed here, as they have a wilder range of rooms and restaurants to choose from for a reasonable price. And then we took the boats to explore the near by beaches, like Rai Leh (or Railey) and Phra Nang.

Rai Leh beach is also very nice, but we found Phra Nang beach breathtakingly beautiful. There it was all i like in a beach: long stretch of powdery white sand, lush green in the back, calm, crystal clean and warm blue/turquoise water. As a bonus, there was a smaller island opposite to the beach, where you could just walk across in the water.

Also these hanging limestone 'spikes' make really a different atmosphere, when you see them near by. There was a walkway going around the hill, where you walked under these spikes and next to dozens of little caves.
It was really a memorable day, and i hope i will be able to go back in the future there more.
