Nikki and I took advantage of a three day holiday weekend to visit southern Thailand for her birthday. After a night in Bangkok, a flight to Krabi, an hour-long bus ride, and a 20 minute boat ride we finally arrived in the climber-backpacker destination of Railay. Here, limestone peaks rise out of the azure-colored water, with idyllic white sand beaches tucked in between caves and mangroves. With a Chang beer in your hand, sitting at a beachside bar playing reggae and watching longtail boats come and go, it's kind of hard to imagine a better place. We brought along our climbing gear – it's been a year and a half since we used it in DC – and had fun scrambling up the jagged karst cliffs. When our arms were no longer capable of pulling our Thai-food-filled-bellies up the mountain, we kayaked around the islands to get a closer look at the expert climbers scaling huge sheer walls. A perfect little birthday mini-break!
