BoyRob recovered enough to go for a walk to see longboats at estuary, then we took a motorised tuk-tuk to see offshore limestone kaasts at other end of beach. Tried unsuccessfully to resolve some Aussie bank issues ...bought fridge magnet "Remember Krabi Thailand"...
The Bee and Ozzie left after lunch, headed north on pretty roads through more limestone country, and personal shrines at the entrance to houses. Since they had been hacked/ scammed (“Help, I've been mugged and stranded in Philippines - send money”) MnM stayed behind to sort out a new email address/system, and to retrieve their contacts.
Found a perfect place to camp at Khao Lac, and met up with more Overlanders - Hubert and AnnaLouise in an armoured tank camper, Lorenz and Gisela in a container cum truck, and Peter and Suzannah in a Swiss-army version of Guy's truck. The first two couples had a motorised scooter and the latter bicycles each to get around. Turned out they had met up with Jon and Jude two nights ago (before a concert rearranged their sites). Had a wonderfully refreshing swim in the ocean (watching out for whale sharks known to frequent these waters at this time of year!) - so pleasant to have cool undercurrents in the water. Ate at the beach bar, a tasty meal with real chicken, and real vegetables, and started an addiction with coconut shakes made from real coconut milk and shavings.
