As our trip comes to a close, we\u2019ll try to maximize our snorkeling and shopping time. Eating will not be neglected, however, as we\u2019ll have some of the finest meals of our trip. Can we have it all? <\/p>\n

The view of the beach from the Anda Lanta breakfast buffet is one we\u2019ll remember fondly as we head North to Krabi, where we stay at a boutique hotel in town. If we weren\u2019t on a mission to hit as many good snorkel spots as humanly possible, we could spend a relaxing day or more here. Oh well!<\/p>\n

Our first stop on the way to Krabi is the Emerald Pool, a natural spring-fed pond in a park with a nice nature walk. Not that anyone is looking at the trees, butterflies, or dragonflies as they speed toward the pool. Advertised as part of \u201cUnseen Thailand,\u201d the large number of tourists refreshing themselves here suggests otherwise. I\u2019m taking a \u201cdry toe day\u201d so I wandered and took photos. A friendly dog accompanied me down the walkway (an elevated concrete walkway with handrails replaced the old path of uneven stumps several years ago), and suddenly stopped and stared intently into the brush. At first, I only saw a dragonfly, but eventually I noticed a large lizard on the other side of the stream. Good dog!<\/p>\n
