Road Trip to Krabi:  Jan 28 to Feb 8, 2013.

This is the trip I was planning on.  The thing is though, as usual for me, I took off without doing a whole lot of research.  I find it more difficult to do the kind of research that I'm looking for here in Thailand, in comparison to the trips I took throughout the United States.  Fall Color Trips, for example;  There are a number of websites devoted to keeping photographers up to date on how the change in color is progressing  in different areas.
Here, it's difficult to find the specific information that I'm looking for and to find good photographic examples of what to expect in various locations.

Enough ranting.  The focus of this trip was to capture the type of scenery that is unavailable in here in Northern Thailand.  I was looking for beach scenes, fishing villages and any other seaside sights that caught my eye.
Route 4 is the main route through the Southern part of the country.  It really doesn't follow the shoreline though, so I ended up taking many detours on roads which I hoped would offer some nice coastal scenery.  The majority of my detours were a waste of time and gas.  After a few days of this, I realized that I'd never get to my destination and back again in the time I allotted for my trip.

Anyway, the majority of my favorite shots were taken around the area of Chumporn, which is on the Gulf of Thailand.  I wasn't too fond of the Krabi area.  Being there over the weekend made it worse having to deal with a lot more traffic.
Some of the scenes I was hoping to find just didn't happen, but this will give me reason for a return trip.  I think I already gained insight into a better planned trip.

Bottom line;  It was a good trip and I'm happy with the photographs I came back with.  I especially liked some of the old abandoned boats I came across.
