Tibet was a tough trip. With only 60% to 70% of the oxygen available at sea level at these high altitudes, the nights were especially difficult. I could sleep for about four hours, then spend the rest of the night struggling to breathe. The Tibetan high-altitude pills didn’t help much. The highest point I reached was 5,248 m.

I arrived in Lhasa on a small Air China plane coming from Kathmandu. The view from the plane was impressive: the entire snow-covered Himalayan range could be seen from above. Mount Everest was on the left side of the airplane.

Chinatown, Greektown, Little Italy, Koreatown, Little India, and Little Portugal are just a few of the city’s vibrant neighborhoods, each with its own unique lifestyle, cuisine, traditions, and festivals—making them ideal locations for street photography.

Close to Krabi airport in Thailand and just a short boat ride from Railay Beach, Ao Nang is a charming beach town with modern hotels, excellent seafood restaurants, and a vibrant night market.

We were lucky to witness some of the most beautiful sunsets here, while also escaping the worst of a tropical storm that brought heavy rain and rough seas to parts of Thailand.

This is the last post in a series of four about our vacation in Krabi Province, beginning with Koh Phi Phi Island, followed by Bamboo Island and Railay Beach, and ending in Ao Nang.

Railay Beach is a small peninsula in the Andaman Sea accessible only by boat from Ao Nang. With stunning limestone cliffs, Railway is one of the most famous destinations for rock climbing in Thailand. Covered by jungle, with beautiful beaches and a laid-back atmosphere – Railway attracts a younger and adventurous crowd. It even has a Rastafarian vibe!
