May 20 Goodbye Thailand (Day 236)
Our flight out of Krabi to Bangkok isn’t until this evening so we had a leisurely morning before catching a longtail boat to Ao Nang.
I had a nice ride on the huge swing strung between 2 coconut palms before we caught our boat.
The water was sea jade green until we got out a bit where it turned slate blue under cloudy skies.
A pre-arranged van ride took us the 40 minute drive to the small airport and we had some time to wander around.
This shrine I assumed is to the ‘King of Siam’ (officially changed to Thailand in 1939). Later I learned this is King Vajiralongkorn also known as King Rama X.
We finally boarded the flight to Bangkok where we caught the long haul red-eye to Istanbul!
