Krabi

It was nice – finally we understood why people say to get out of Bangkok asap, beautiful beaches, sea mist surrounded islands and far less people, this is the true Thailand.

One point that I found very confusing in Krabi is the sheer number of Italian restaurants, yes there are still a large number of tourist & local shops but even many of the Thai restaurants also have Italian food. There are even about 5 pizzerias which on a street with less that 100 shops that is an achievement, there may even be more that there are suit shops.
To test why and how Thai + Italian worked together with food I ordered a thai green curry with shrips on spaghetti.
Verdict – I don't know how or why someone first tried this, possibly in the great noodle shortage of 2005 but it's amazing and a nice relief from the mass of rice and noodles that I had been eating. After a fairly warm night with the fan in the room merely pushing around the hot air and an electric socket that made my laptop continuously shock me, I awoke early for breakfast / Lunchbox filling time and transport to the ferry.
