We spent a few days in Au Nong which is a small beach on the coast off the main land. We did our usual thing and spent the day on the beach and got a massage.Jamie got attacked by a jellyfish/monster but survived because of her mermaid skills! We went out one night to a kind of local bar and listened to a great reagee band and watched more fire shows. The next day we got on a longboat which is basically a small wooden boat with a motor attached to it and headed to Railay (the pictures above are Railay, below Au Nong). We got dropped off and had to hop in the water with our huge backpacks in front of the fanciest resort I've ever seen. I mean its front door was 20 ft from the shore line. We were really overwhelmed because we didn't know anything about where we were or where to find a place to stay in our price range. So we trecked through the resorts to the East side where things were a little more affordable. The beach is beautiful and the small village is in the middle of cliffs and caves. There are no streets or cars just little alleys that take you between resorts and restaurants and real huts that the people live in. The water comes up high during the day right up to the door of all the little shops and then falls at night like a football field away. Locals set up soccer games. Its hard to explain but i'll take pictures and show you all. Enjoy, EM
