The Amazing Sunset Along the Beach @ Ao Nang in Krabi [Thailand]

It was a 600-meter mad rush towards the beach after taking a badly needed shower at BlueSotel Krabi as the day had started to dim and i was hoping to catch the sunset on our last night in Krabi

I wasn't disappointed; despite the heavy downpour just two, three hours ago, the sky had miraculously opened up to show us the spectacular sight as above. Together with me were hundreds of other like-minded visitors along the promenade who were also there to gawk at nature's product. 

To be honest, sunset is here everyday and you can see it everywhere. However, it just feels especially nice when one is on a vacation, with a relaxed mood. 

And don't you just love that big cluster of cloud; its existence partially prevented the setting sun from blinding our eyes yet it also helped in dispersing the beautiful sun rays! 

What was that land mass in front, where the setting sun was? I initially thought it's Phuket Island but no, it's actually another island that lies in between Phuket and KrabiKo Yao Yai

The magic of photography; with the setting sun still giving much illumination, the above photo looked strangely out of place from the orangey-tinge pictures i have shown so far. 

Compared the two photos above too; one was taken with another setting on my camera. That's why i sometimes don't quite believe in the "realness" of photography where you can manipulate aperture and shutter speed. The best way is of course to see it with your own eyes and determine if what you see is what you expected. 

A shot of sun ray! 

Sailfish Statue along the promenade of Ao Nang Beach provided a nice backdrop against the setting sun! Built in 2015, it was erected to commemorate a catch of an "enormous number of the iconic marine animal off Phi Phi Island". 

Last photo - a long-tailed boat operator rushing back to the pier!
