A week inland had us itching to check out the beach. To get our beach fill, we spent 6 nights (5 full days) in Ao Nang, Krabi – one of the most beautiful places in the world, if a bit (ie: very) touristy.

Of course, our flights were booked through Aeroplan, so we’re only out of pocket $200 each (for taxes and surcharges).
