The Kinos family come to Thailand

OK, so that was the quickest 10 days of our travels so far!
Mum, Dad & Eetu arrived to Krabi in some of the wettest weather we had experienced. After much needed sleep and after the sun had re-appeared, the 5 of us headed to lush Koh Phi Phi Long Beach, Thai bungalow paradise for 4 days. The highlight here was an awesome snorkelling trip - we even saw sharks whilst diving Shark Point, Long Beach. Now that we seemed to be mastering long tail boat disembarkation, it was time travel to nearby Railay Beach for some quality, family pool time.
Our 4th and final destination was Ao Nang Beach, Eetu's shopping mecca.

"Expensive hobby" - quote Jukka. Sailing yacht washed onto Maya Bay Beach, Phi Phi Leh, by big wave.

Final lunch before sad goodbyes. Thanks to Jukka, Soile & Eetu for coming all this way to visit....we had a great time :-)
