It&#8217;s much less touristy than we expected, and fairly quiet as it&#8217;s a Sunday.  We find a mobile phone shop and by a Thai Sim card.  We have a quick look around and head back towards Ao Nang.<\/p>\n<p>We take a different road back and drive down to the Fosil site.  It&#8217;s a lovely spot, but it does look like the fossils are infact shells set in concrete.  But, I&#8217;m no geologist, so it&#8217;s probably authentic.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/www.itravelabout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/CIMG4468-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3081\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.itravelabout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2008\/03\/CIMG4468-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.itravelabout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2008\/03\/CIMG4468-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.itravelabout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2008\/03\/CIMG4468-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.itravelabout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2008\/03\/CIMG4468-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.itravelabout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2008\/03\/CIMG4468-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.itravelabout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2008\/03\/CIMG4468-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.itravelabout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2008\/03\/CIMG4468-1980x1485.jpg 1980w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Once again on the way back to Ao Nang we stop at the market, which turns out to be a little gem of photos opportunities and we even buy a few supplies.
