Part of the adventure is getting there and probably most of the best places take some time getting to them. I think our trip to Koh Pu was pretty easy but the kids aren't as convinced that the travel can be fun too.
From here to there took 2 taxis, 2 planes, 1 bus, and 2 boats as well as many cold drinks.
We saw practically nothing of Krabi on the way from airport to ferry dock. But what we did see was colorful and lively.
We drove through a fabulous street market and were bummed not to get to stop. BUT the island was calling us.
Thank goodness were getting off the ferry at the first stop. We got to stay on the deck of the boat. All of the passengers bound for Koh Lanta were shoved below deck. More and more and more people packed below deck. I was starting to get Titanic flashbacks.
On deck it was glorious. The view was spectacular. Beautiful jungle-covered rocks jutting out of the blue ocean waters. The four of us sat among the mountains of luggage, covered of course by hats and sun shirts.
From over crowded ferry boat to wooden long tail boat. Koh Pu island is VERY small and there is no pier large enough for the ferry so instead the ferry slows down out in front of the island and each resort sends out their long tail boat to pick you up.
The day we arrived a couple from Germany and a family from England arrived with us.
There is the resort, Tin Rai Bay, tucked into the hilly jungle. The kitchen/restaurant is in the center of the property with a u-shaped ring of private bungalows surrounding.
We were greeted by fresh squeezed orange juice with orchids on the edge! Let vacation begin.
