Krabi 2011


Day 1:
Earlly flight at 1025. had to check in by 825 to get the best seats.
Long trip in the mrt zzz had to take shuttle bus from t1 to budget terminal.
had macs breakfast :) yes! mcvalue breakfast :)
First time to budget terminal and it's really budget lor. lol!
plane was delayed slightly cus of the traffic.
trying to fight my thirst although it was a short 1.5 hours journey.
slept for awhile and before we know it... HELLO KRABI :)



while we were bored queueing at the thai immigration checkpoint.

then we took airport transfer from airport to our resort, about 30mins jouney...

our resort~~~ like a chalet. but staff there quite nice :)

settling some room stuffs.. and tour packages for day 2

pictures are deceiving, but the room was clean, spacious enough for 2 pax.
no complains at all :)
then we settled down awhile, get changed and go get some LUNCH!!
had indian food.. + mango milkshake!
considered pricey for a restaurant. but convert back to sing STILL CHEAP
for the quantity and quality.
after lunch went to check out the whole area, including aonang beach, the shops etc.
this is aonang beach! not many ppl swim there cus water is quite contamininated
think it is due to the longtail boats, spped boats everyday...

headed to 7-11 to get some necessities such as mineral water, tidbits...
went back to the resort for a swim before changing and going out for dinner again!

alot of variety hor! actually they are quite pricey
and their variety is limited to their daily catch in the sea

amazing banana shake! :)

hehe cute ain't it?

playing with the orchid. i wonder if they reuse? LOL
nice wooden chairs, but they couldn't fit so many of us, so we had to move :(
after dinner, sham and I weren't full, so we went to chiong pancake. hehehe

after the 1st time, it became a daily thing.. a must eat :)
everyone was tired from the flight so we had an early night rest to prepare for our tour on day 2.

Day 2:
Rise and shine early morning, almost couldn't wake up :(
Breakfast @ resort!


daily spread of breakfast not amazing but edible laaa :)
den went back lobby to wait for out tuktuk? to pick us up!

in case of emergency...
btw they have a very interesting thing way to advertise!
there will be mini pickup that will go around, with speakers and banners on the vehicle
attract some attention.
Muay Thai Muay Thai...
HAHAHA

1st stop, bamboo island! :)
so beautiful right.. geeeeeez. not me la, the beach!

maya bay! so pretty! they filmed 'the beach' movie here.
water so clear. nothing more i can ask for!! :)

so hot that my eyes could barely open :(
but i love the sun anyway :)

I LOVE SNORKELING!!! fishes are so pretty
and i felt ever close to mother nature. i love the cooling water
though i had a few sips of salty water while trying to get used to the equipments.

see what i mean :) how nice!!

see the sea urchin? so scary!!

haha random. burger king :)

so pretty again, can't use any other words to describe, really

at the speedboat after one of the stop overs!

i don't know where is this all of them look the same!

after snorkeling! posing with pepsi that costs 10baht only!! 50cents sing!
it was a whole day event. from 9-4. had buffet lunch in between at a stop over
at phi phi don.
went to the monkey bay but didn't get to go down.
according to tour guide, a lady was attacked by the monkey.. smart monkeys!
snorkel twice which is satisfying max. and i totally love it.
get to dive down from the speed boat. but salt intake at the max.
water went into my nose and the feeling is ho high~! but didn't take too long for it to recover.
i love the fishes and i wish i had more budget and time to go for another tour!
speedboat so nice to sleep. sham and i slept through the 40mins ride back to aonang.
after we reach aonang, went to shop abit, ate BANANA NUTELLA pancake
again, until they ran out of banana. lol
so nice :)

HOW CAN I RESIST TEMPTATION?!?!
by the end of 2nd day, i was badly burnt...
back to resort for another round of swim before changing and heading out for dinner!
wanted to much to try the street food but they finished their daily supply.
so we had to go to the restaurant instead.
Thai foood! i had prawn noodles with tom yum and banana shake!
Starbucks after dins and abit of shopping.
headed back to resort after dinner for Man U game and argh they suck ;(
played monopoly deal too. geez

Day 3:
it was our last full day so we decided it shld be a relax day.
woke up late, breakfast then headed to the pool for a morning swim.

at about noon, we went back to get changed and headed out for lunch and shopping!
decide to explore the other side, so we ended up:

at a family restaurant, that serves amazing fried rice, egg omelette and tom yum!
SEX :) oh and banana shake too ;)

after lunch it was shopping, shopping and shopping.
This is Fazlee's best friend!
Fazlee is the best at haggling prices and we bought so many stuffs!

It is not a good place for shopping compared to bkk, but had to bring some back. so bo bian

on a very random note, we see this every morning because our resort faces the cliffs.
natural steam or what?! but this pic is taken while we're on our way back.
another cliff!

after shopping we headed back to resort and had some free time.
babe and i decided to go for thai massage and mani.
but i was burnt so bad that i can't do massage!! :( so had mani instead
200 baht not bad for manicure. considering it's the full mani not express.
just that their nailpolish is not OPI and they really don't last!

after getting back to change, DINNER AT STREET STALL!
made sure we were early that day so we could get to eat.
sham and i ordered rice + dishes. got prawns, chicken, tom yum, egg!
even din's and fazlee's green curry taste good.
and they are amazingly cheap!!!
I got so tired that i slept at about 9+ while the guys went out to watch the arsenal game.
damn guilty now cus i wish i could have spent the last night better.
SHIT MAN.

Day 4:
Early flight, after packing, sham and I did last minute shopping for food!
lol, came back and tried to stuff things inside our bags.
breakfast was banana nutella pancake again :) mwahahaha
in the end, we had to check in 2 bags.. overweight :)

Happy Girl!

We miss you Krabi!!

just came back from honeymoon! HAHA joking :)

Overall, Krabi is an amazing place.
The best place I can be. putting my mind off work, everything in singapore.
be close to mother nature, the water, the people of a foreign land.
I really have no complains with the food quality.
All meals are sincerely prepared with at least 30mins waiting time.
but hey! it's totally worth it!
Singapore's style?! everyone is rushing for time, so cook faster, earn more, customers come and go faster. but are customers satisfied?
The place there is really slow paced and I love it.
really wish i could stay there for a longer time.
I don't mind just staying there, eating the food, hanging around.
When I came back to Singapore on the first day, i was already in self denial.
I wish i was never back :(
I love it there.
and I promise, I will be there again by this year, if not until babe finishes his NS.
if not, It's BANGKOK soon :)
once i earn enough money.
I LOVE TRAVELLING MAX!
but i kinda got lazy to take pics cus... i was too tired.
i only have 20pics from Krabi in my cam. hehe

I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SO MUCH, KRABI
and to my inamorato, miss you more :)

i came back with my head sticky, body burnt.
now my head got crispy fried scalp flakes due to the extreme heat,
and body peeling like mad,
i really have no regrets, really.
