When Grandma and Grandpa visited us, we got to go on vacation to Krabi! Krabi is a beautiful place. It has amazing beaches and you can go snorkeling in some picture perfect spots.

One of our favorite finds was this awesome restaurant called Joy Beach! It was a short walk on the beach from our hotel where we could play in the sand and the ocean while waiting for our food.

We discovered, if we got a bucket, some sand, and a couple small clams we found laying around, we could have clam race’s to see which one digs down first. It was really fun.

I had a lot of fun playing with the sand. If we took really wet sand and poured it slowly, we could make little sand castles that just seemed to grow as we poured more sand.

Make certain, if you ever go to Krabi, go to Joy Beach. The food is great and the views are amazing.

Selah broke her foot a few days before we went to Krabi, so she couldn’t do some of the stuff we planned. Not wanting her to feel left out, we would go to the pool at our hotel and Selah sat in a pool raft with a towel as a blanket with sunglasses and a hat. My parents wrapped up her foot carefully so she could enjoy the water.

There was so much to do. Sometimes we would eat breakfast at the buffet, then sit on the beach and talk and other times, we’d walk around the beach looking for fun seashells and coral.

Krabi is known for pretty blue water and tropical fish. One day we decided to go on a snorkeling trip in these long-tailed boats to the three beautiful islands. You probably thought that we would go on a speed boat but we didn’t. These boats are common in Thailand and part of the snorkeling experience.

The day we decided to go snorkeling, a big storm came. I should probably tell you if you thought that it was going to be a beautiful ride through the ocean you are very mistaken, it rained so much that if you saw us you would think we had fallen off the boat and gone swimming instead. Second, we were supposed to go to four islands but we instead went to three because our tour guides said there was going to be another storm and we were running low on fuel.

And we saw some weird big rocks that looked like they were floating!

On a different day, we went on a very big boat to go to a different island called Koh Phi Phi. The water in the bay really clear that we could easily see all sorts of little fish swimming around us. It had a nice beach with soft white sand.
