Krabi Trip 2007

before we proceed to the regurgitation of Krabi Trip 2007, here is a quick fast forward to one of the 4island tour's 4 islands (duh) and my aunty vehemently convincing me that the oysters that are stuck to this wall here (yes those are live oysters) are edible and delectably sweet.

after chipping away the top more-fragile part of the shell, my aunty precariously takes out the jelly-like flesh on the inner portion...

and brings it near to the ocean water (not even bottled water) to rinse..

and voila! here ya go. now, no seasonings and panfrying. it just goes straight from the hand...

into the mouth. yum yum. Makes me feel like Timon & Puumba from The Lion King Series. total bugs.

Me and The loving Matriach onboard the boat on Krabi to the 4 Islands tour. Checkout those hippie 1970's circular glasses. very classssss.

that's me paddling with the cousin Matthew at one of the mangrove swamps in Ao Luak (Northern Krabi, further up from Ao Nang)

The Entourage: considering these aren't young swingin' singles, i needn't captionise them, but yes, the hot blooded young male wearing the hawt tank and red shorts with a red watch is oh-so-available. oh oh, so is my cousin, orange tee shirt, matthew!

this is a difference scene, this is apparently a PENIS statue. of Shiva, the Indian God. It's located in one of the 4 islands and it's supposed to bring good luck and fertility to whoever whom touches it. Now, on this gold Phallic Shaped Religious structure, there are small dildos (if i may non-sacrireligiously add) strung on top, also, there is a maroon red wooden phallic-shapped object on the table as well as other ahem, penis-shapped equipment behind the golden erected structure (pardon the very awful pun)

and as Nelly Furtado warbles: "flames to dust, lovers to friends, why do all good things come to an end?" the lovely but rapidly descending red sunset en route back to the hotel after a long day of outdoor activites.

Aside from the awesome green curry and seafood, the only thing that pissed me off in Krabi was the racial biasness. apparently the farangs are very well received, well known for their a-peel-ing burnt red skin, blond hair, heaving bosoms and a european dialect. Most Thais treat them better and often turn to us yellowheads in disgust, as though we're not worthy of good tourist hospitality.

sheesh. shan't comment more. and not much shopping either. it's not like i can't get a "SAME SAME BUT DIFFERENT" tee shirt at some queensway shopping centre.
