Leaving Koh Pu Island for Bangkok, February 15

Today we head for Bangkok where we will get our flight home.

We arranged for a tuk-tuk driver to take us into town to the pier where we caught a long tail boat to the mainland. 

Our tuk-tuk driver and his son. We had to get out and walk up a hill as the driver couldn't make it up the hill with all the weight in the tuk-tuk.

We were taken to the pier in the town on the other side of the island. Here we got a ride on a long tail boat.

The long tail boat we got a ride on.

Besides people the boat carried four motor cycles, a cooler that needed to get fixed and some other cargo.

When we arrived on the mainland we joined a group of people getting into a song thaeu (pick up truck) to take us into Krabi Town.  When we left the pier for Krabi Town there were 12 people stuffed into the back of the truck. The trucks have a cover over the top of the back with a bench on each side of the truck body. Along the way the driver picked up 5 more people. We were all stuffed into the back of that truck. We had the driver drop us off at the airport.

We flew to Bangkok and decided to get a hotel near the airport, as we have to catch a 7:00 flight for home and need to be at the airport at 5:00. Our hotel has shuttle service.

We walked around the area we were staying and found this street vendor whose food looked good.  

We had a mushroom/rice dish.  After supper we went back to the hotel and planned on how we were going to use the train/subway system to get into the city.
