Railay/Krabi

sawateeka! railay is the most amazing place i've seen so far. there are hardly any tourists here, just rock climbers, so for the first time we hung out with the locals. there was live music and a fire show last night near our room, which was really interesting. today we took a kayaking trip to a nearby beach, at one point there was a downpour-- really awesome. taking a bus tomorrow from au nang to bangkok, then another bus from bkk to chiang mai. will be sad to leave my new canadian friends :(
i'll keep you posted as much as i can, gotta go for now. enjoy the photos! after tonight the 'vacation' part of the trip will more or less come to a close... on to the cultural stuff i love. i can't wait! hope everyone is doing well. xoxo, lauma
ps. zemen, it was open mic night last night & this girl went up to play a song, i didn't know it. these guys from the UK were chanting "one more song! one more song!" so she played two chords and i almost died. zem, of all songs, she played wagon. we were all dancing (it was a small outdoor place) and i was singing with my eyes closed as if you were here. after the second verse i heard her yelling away from the microphone in her australian accent "yeew! yeew! get ovaah heeaah!" i was like "me??" a thai guy adjusted a mic for me & the song went on... IT WASN'T THE SAME. i think overall the crowd enjoyed it but she started to sing my part, so i was trying to sing your part. i walked away after chatting with her a sec and as i walked away she broke out with 4 non blondes. seriously? seriously. so bittersweet. you were here in spirit last night. xo!
