Krabi (2)

Still haven't consolidated pics so am blogging with some other random pics in this post :)

If you look a little more closely, you might be able to tell that these flowers were actually carved out from soap. Went exploring shops along Ao Nang Beach the first night after dinner and the Thai lady hawking her soap carvings on the street (bigger dyed flowers) skilfully carved out three white flowers in less than 10 min for each of us (for free!). It was really sweet of her. Took this pic in our resort room against a cushion.

One of many many monkeys we encountered on our kayaking trip at Ao Thalane (more on that in a separate post). Monkeys love Thai pineapples....
So does Shi Min! (though I've never been a fan of pineapples) Our guide brought along several pineapples and he had superb pineapple-slicing skills! The one i'm holding up (as well as those on the tray) was almost perfectly shaped like a gear...! I've never tasted such sweet pineapples till this Krabi trip. Not only were they fresh, they tasted even better than your typical preserved and sweetened canned pineapples.
On our third day, after lunch on Ko Phi Phi Don, we had some time to wander around the island. Say maybe one hour. but the three of us were stuck in front of some shopfront for at least 15 min.... cos there were THREE unbelievably cute kitties lazing around. So the three of us were like scooting down and trying to take pics of them for like the longest time. Ppl must have thought that we were mad.
I ended up with quite many kitty pics. But looking at this one, I suddenly realized maybe the puss-in-boots in Shrek isn't that unrealistic after all.... :)
