Continuing from Sunset at Ao Nang beach, Krabi
We sat on at the beach until dark. Behind could be seen the nearby section of town lighting up.
Parts of the beach also received similar treatment.
Time to look at life in the town side...

This blogspot is a medium to share my thoughts and adventures apart from promoting my books. Below are the books which have been written or authored and published by myself.
"Berpetualang ke Aceh: Mencari Diri dan Erti".
ISBN 983-42031-0-1, Jun 2006
"Berpetualang ke Aceh: Membela Syiar yang Asal"
ISBN 983-42031-1-x, May 2007
"Berpetualang ke Aceh: Sirih Pulang ke Gagang?"
ISBN 978-983-42031-2-2, November 2007
It is interesting to note that while these books were written in Malay it has gained enough attention to merit being part of the collections of the American Library of Congress and National Library of Australia. Look here and here.
While the first three books were published by my own company, the fourth titled "Rumah Azan" was published in April 2009 by a company called Karnadya with the help of the Malaysian national literary body Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka. It features beautiful pictures along with stories behind selected mosques which could be related to the history of Islam and the Malays alongside the formation of the Malaysian nation. Look at the article A collaboration of old collegemates - the book "Rumah Azan".
My fifth book "Ahlul Bait (Family) of Rasulullah SAW and Malay Sultanates", an English translation and adaptation of the Malay book "Ahlul Bait (Keluarga) Rasulullah SAW dan Kesultanan Melayu" authored by Hj Muzaffar Mohamad and Tun Suzana Othman was published early 2010. Look here... My 5th book is out! Ahlul Bait (Family) of Rasulullah SAW and the Malay Sultanates... . For more information check out my Malay blogspot CATATAN SI MERAH SILU.
Like my fourth book "Rumah Azan", the sixth book "Kereta Api Menuju Destinasi" is also a coffee-table book which is published by the company Karnadya with the cooperation of Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (the main Malay literary body in Malaysia). Coming out January 2011 it features pictures and stories on the adventure travelling by train to all of Peninsular Malaysia along with the interesting places which could be reached this way.
My seventh book "Jejak keluarga Yakin : Satu sketsa sejarah" in turn is a coffee-table book which is written, editted, designed and has pictures taken by me. Coming out of the factory October 2011, this book which combines family history with history of places such as Singapura, Johor, Batu Pahat, Muar and in fact the history of the island of Java and England has been reviewed with me interviewed live in the program Selamat Pagi Malaysia at RTM1. Look at the article Siaran langsung ulasan buku "Jejak keluarga Yakin : Satu sketsa sejarah" dan temu ramah di Selamat Pagi Malaysia. Some selected contents have been featured in Sneak peek "Jejak keluarga Yakin : Satu sketsa sejarah".

Sunset at Ao Nang beach, Krabi
Continuing from Limestone hills of Phang Nga.
We arrived at Krabi around 4.40 pm only to learn that the Google Map navigation system brought us to its administrative centre, the town of Krabi. We wanted to get to the beach..That's when we learn there is a number of beach designated under the PROVINCE of Krabi. We have to choose one and all seemed to be located around 16 km or more from town.
Studying the map we decided to choose a beach called Ao Nang, We arrived at its town almost half an hour later.
Finding plenty of halal food in town we decided to partake in a meal. We only continued to the beach at around 6.15.
When we arrived it was already sunset.
We just sat and enjoy the views...
All of us agree this feels better than being in Phuket.
Limestone hills of Phang Nga
Continuing from Town of Phuket.
We left the island of Phuket via the bridge connecting to mainland at around 3.20pm. Journey was continued to the east through the province of Phang Nga.
What is interesting are the existence of so many limestone hills along the way...
This seemed to be the main geographical feature as we raced for Krabi, 120 km from Phuket...
