After visiting Ben my plan was to go to Krabi. I taxi-ed to the bus station near him and then hopped in a van. The ride took a little over 3 hours. Jenna and I were meeting up there, but not until later in the week. I was going to be exploring on my own yet again. Fingers crossed I don't consume any questionable chicken this time.
I was hungry, so after checking in to my hostel I headed to a restaurant down the street. I treated myself to a beer and a book while people watching with the ocean as the backdrop.
Once I'd finished, I headed back. I met some people at my hostel who were going on a bar crawl that night, so I figured what the hell and joined in. Little did I know, it would be a bunch of 18 somethings from New Zealand and Australia who could drink me under the table. It was definitely quite an evening, which resulted in me being quite hungover the next day. This mid twenty something just can't hang like she used to. My saving grace however was that the weather was overcast and rainy so it was absolutely perfect for napping the day away. Eventually however I did get out of bed and headed to the beach. I had a nice walk in the cold, wet sand once the rain had stopped.
I got back to my hostel only to discover that the 18 year olds were at it again. Tonight they would be taking a party bus to another hostel where they would be playing bar games ALL NIGHT LONG. Woof. I certainly wasn't going to sit in alone (especially because then I would've been woken up by all of the drunkies in my dorm room when they did decide to roll in) but I definitely had learned my lesson from the night before. I was not going to try to keep up. And while I made a solid effort, in the end, tequila buckets were had and bottle to mouth shots were poured. 18 year olds two, 20 somethings big fat zeros.
All in all this Krabi trip was a lovely blur of booze. I was definitely ready to get out of here.
