Along the Coast of Krabi - Spectral Codex

After the seething chaos of Bangkok I travelled south to spend a few days relaxing in Ao Nang, a small town in the province of Krabi, Thailand. I had expected to find tranquil paradise by the beach based on what I read online, particularly down around Railay, which is only accessible by longboat, but everywhere I went was massively crowded and overdeveloped. Still, I managed to take some good photos of the natural beauty of Krabi, as well as a handful of cool temples and shrines.

Series: Thailand 2012

A series of posts chronicling my misadventures in Thailand in early 2012. Very incomplete, and probably never to be finished.
