My coordinates have moved closer to the Equator to 8.0592° N, 98.9189° E, namely Krabi, Phra Nang Peninsula Thailand ---and my visual field satured with gold and saffron hues colours has changed to blu, aqua, framed by palm trees and other tropical plants. I am staying near Aonang beach, visually beautiful but not so tempting for swimming. But there are plenty of options to more alluring clear waters. The easiest one is a long tail boat ride to Railay beach, my first immersive encounter with the Andaman Sea.
