Krabi Horses

We are now in Krabi - south West Thailand - there is nothing "Krabi" about this place!!

We arrived 2 days ago and have spent the time shopping, relaxing and sunbathing. The resort is nice, it's like a scaled down version of Phuket.

The heat is unbearable, we have seriously debated moving our flights to Oz forward to get to an air-conditioned country!!

Not a lot more to report other than we went horse trekking today along the beach - it is the first time I have ever sat on a horse let alone ride one along the sand!! There was a Thái guide holding the horse's reigns the whole time so i didn't feel to scared..... that was until they took us to the part of the beach where the horses are allowed to go into the water with you on... so we trekked closer to the water when all hell broke loose - we were sinking.... fast.... in quicksand!!!

My horse frantically tried to steady itself but it was too late - I was on the way down.... I landed with a huge thud in the sand, bashed my head, leg and elbow. Thankfully I had a helmet on otherwise i would have been knocked out!! My elbow hurts like hell - i have a huge bandage on and my trousers were covered in wet sloppy sand. Nice.

That's all for now folks! We are heading off to Khao Sok National Park, in between Krabi and Surat Thani if anyone has a map of Thailand, we are going to do an Elephant Trek - I hope this guy doesn't sink....

One last thing - we have both had severe heat exhaustion and I would like to announce one thing.... Love Live British Weather. You guys are so lucky - i am envious of the 10 degress tempartures.

Adios! xx
