13:34 23/11/2013 It’s raining cats and dogs when we reached Ao Nang, Krabi. The dark clouds and chilly breeze hinted us there will be no island hopping activity. Our hunch had been confirmed after asking Tar (owner of KL house) whom they offered island tours. He was honest and upfront to tell us there was no single boat left the pier on that day. Boo! Our face turned sour and speechless of what we just heard. If you had traveled more than 800 KM just to visit their famous white sand beaches. You’ll know exactly how we felt. It was utterly distressing and agonizing. We can’t afford and lose the day without doing nothing. We found some little encouragement upon looking at the crowd heading down on the nearby beach. So we grab our stuff and follow the herd with less expectation.
Immediately we search for a spot to lie down on our aquamarine colored beach friendly Lagu blanket. We’d found an elevated space under the shade of a tree. A vantage view for beach and people spotting.
Looking at the people swimming being pummeled by huge waves made us less eager to take a plunge. So what we’ll gonna do aside from swanky lounging on our sand repellent Lagu blanket?
Walk at the Shore
She gladly portrayed and posed according to her photographer’s instruction. Just a matter of seconds the lady was enveloped by a huge wave after she walk backwards. She was drenched and people witnessed the scene burst into laughter. Apparently my camera’s battery went dead and haven’t captured that wacky moment. It would be funny in GIF (evil grin).
With a plethora of subjects at the beach, there’s no way you sling that camera without using. it. Like we did, we haven’t stop clicking that shutter until we exhausted the battery.
Reading + Ice cold beer
Jump Shots!
Who doesn’t love aerial maneuver shots at the beach? For the record, we haven’t skip not doing an obligatory jump shots whenever we visit at the beach. It’s kinda addicting, liberating and bit of childish gesture that wouldn’t made you stop until you aim that “wow” shot.
Star Jump shot |
It’s not easy for those who lift their fat ass opposing the G force. Not to mention you have to synchronize yer jump from the timer or to the count of the cameraman. Else you end up like a headless leaping creature soaring in the air.
There you go, things that we did aside from idling at Ao Nang Beach. We know there are more things that can be added from the list above. Care to share?
Beach Bum Couple,
Sky and Summer
wow. the sea looks rough in the pics. It was so calm when I was there. I've heard about tour companies pushing through even when the sea is rough. I feel bad for you two but of course it's always better to stay safe. BTW, just idling around and watching ppl is fun and relaxing 🙂
There was a heavy storm came after we reach Ao Nang, and there was a big boat capsize near Phi Phi. So all the tours were cancelled. But we are thankful we havent experience the worst.
Watching ppl can be therepeutic sometimes.
