Jan 15 - Ranonge Province - Good time to leave Tan Sai. I figure I can recover during the bus ride north to visit fellow Gila hotshot Rob in Ko Phayam. I didn't want to leave since I meet good people and was having a blast climbing, kayaking and sun bathing. One thing I noticed is small wounds heal very slowly here and tend to get infected fast. Climbing is a great way to get cut up. Anyways, long boat to Ao Nang, Bus to Krabi, Bus to Ranonge. Meet some great people on the bus rides. Wish I had meet them while still around Railey. Found a brand new hotel that just opened. I was their first guest. Only 250 Baht I got AC, my own bathroom, great bed and a TV. At night I explored the streets. Not much of a night life.
