Monkey Trail to Ao Nang


There is only 2 ways in and 2 ways out of our private beach and it's either by boat or the monkey trail! The monkey trail only being used if you really want to get to town last minute or save $20. It's a treacherous path across the rocks you see in the picture above! Of course, on our first night here we wanted dinner last minute in town, so of course we took the monkey trail at night with a flash light, umbrella and backpack for shopping. We met a couple on their way back as we were heading up the trail and asked them how it was? They said they wouldn't take this trail at night as first timers, and they just saw a snake! O joy!! Of course we didn't let this new knowledge deter us and pressed onward in a light rain. Now that I have seen this path in the daylight, I agree that ignorance is truly bliss!

This part of the trail is no problem unless it's raining,
then everything becomes as slick as ice!

This is where we put away the camera!

A glimpse of the view to come!

The reason they call it Monkey Trail!

They look harmless!

Those are the teeth I'm afraid of!!

A meditating monkey!

Not so sweet huh?! I ran after I snapped his picture!!

Made it off Monkey Trail in one piece!

Where we just came from!
