Krabi to Malaysia

After a night ferry and a morning bus we made it to Krabi. The night ferry was basically loads of floor mats next to each other. It was actually quite confey but I had picked up a fever and headach again so I didnt sleep all night. I ended up sitting outside talking to fellow none sleepers. After getting off the ferry and getting a free tuk tuk to the bus station I realised I had left my handbag on the boat (what a plum), I told the ticket man and he said he cant get me a tuk tuk now I will have to run, I still remember the directions right left and down the river. Safe to say I ran, and reclaimed my bag. When we got to Krabi I colapsed on the bed and remained there all day oooooo the illness I was sooo freeking hot. The day after getting to the main village in Krabi we decieded to move to a quieter part Railey, we stayed there for three days. it was quite hard to find cheap accommodation as most places were resorts, a place that use to be for backpackers has been reclaimed by more hotels. After a little trek with our massive bags on our back we found a place which was still expensive but cheaper than the rest. That afternoon we went for a walk the other side Railey and found the backpackers we had heard of, huts hidden in the jungle but 5 mins walk away from the beach we moved there the next day. we went for walks to all the beaches and found the beach on all the postcards, the cliff face was amazing, the colours and shape. I did alot of sleeping in Railey still not feeling to good. The day we left it was the thai new year called Songkon (i couldnt tell you if thats spelt right). We joined in on the party, I think our new years should be celebrated like the thais. Its a huge water fight every one in thailand joins in, it was started buy monks splashing water on people as a symbol of a clean start, generations have past by and it has become lots of fun. Theres also people going round with soap and water and talcom powder, they wipe it on you face wishing you happy new year. Me and charlotte bought our waterpistals which didnt compare to some peoples, there were people with buckets of icewater tipping it over people as they walk past, vans driving slowly up the road with loads of people on the back with a big barrel of water, they threw buckets over all the crowds they walk past. We were soaked through buy the time we finish, but the party continued all night and for the next three days, I dont think me and charlotte have been so clean all trip aswell. Me a charlotte were only staying in An Nang (Krabi main town again) for a night as we were heading to Malaysia for a couple of days we had to re-new our visas. The nights stay in An Nang was funny ,well?!! we stayed in a room which had bed bugs, there were so many me and char slept on the hard tiled floor, slept quite well actually.
The drive to Malaysia wasnt to bad it was quicker than we thought, we were picked up at 6.30am by a mini bus, swapped on to another bus just before the border and then on the other side of the border we got on to a coach which took us to Kuala Lumpur, We reached our destination at 2.00 am. I had a little trubble at the border as my stamp in to thailand was near enough washed away in the water fight, luckly they saw charlottes dates were the same and let me through. Me and charlotte really liked KL more than any other city we have been to in S,E,A. We stayed in a guesthouse in china town, they had the most amazing fuite. Whilst in KL we went to a huge bird park and butterfly farm, being in the bird park you really wouldnt bieleve you were in a main city, we saw soo many different type of birds. We also went to see the twin towers (the ones on entrapment 'film'). They give out free tickets in to the building but only so many a day you have to get there at 7:00am to que for a ticket. It was well worth it tho we got to go up on the sky bridge, you can see for miles. The building its self it just amazing i dont know how they can even build a building like that. We saw the towers at night they shone like christmas trees in the dark, for a building so big in the city they were like magic. O'yes i have to tell you its not very intresting but we went in to a shopping mall it was soo exciting, and we saw a topshop (thought i would just throw that in there) its very rare we see somethink familiar. After 3 days there it was enough so we took a over night bus to Hat Yai which is on the thai side of the border, and then got a tuk tuk to a bus station where we had to get a bus to Trang, where we stayed for the night. Me and charlotte nearly missed the bus to thailand we had a taxi driver which was like "duh" so we got out of that taxi at the traffic lights and got in to one which knew where he was going, they were waiting for us I wanted to give them a hug.
