Re-post : Travel Log Krabi

Since i have not been writing much there past months , i feel that nothing beats then to re-port my previous entry from my other blog that is no longer active. 


To begin with , i will post start with our Krabi Travel log. 




Weather indicates it will be raining probably later during the day or towards the evening.

(Finger cross and hope not to rain!)

Krabi International Airport is a cute little airport that it takes less than a minute (ok probably 2) to exit the airport. One thing that you don't have to worry about , here in Krabi - the prices of transportation, day tour packages to food are well displayed where all you need is a skill of bargaining to get a better deal.

I didn't book for any transportation from he airport to the hotel in Ao Nang ( btw , Ao Nang is basically the most favorite tourist spot so if you are the type that would want to enjoy a nice beach holiday but still want to be in a place conveniently easy for you to find things , shop and have more choices then this is the best place for you) since based on the little homework that i did , it was cheaper to get transportation at the airport itself.

Shared van will cost you about 200bath = about RM20 and a private car about 300bath = RM30. We opted to get the shared van to the hotel but since we are the only one taking it , the cab driver was kind enough to sent us to the hotel in a private car with no extra cost.

Journey from the airport to Ao Nang is about 30-40minutes drive.

Oh we almost ( well i actually i ) panic during our journey to the airport.

I don't want to spill the beans yet ^__^ will share on a different entry.

Day 1

1st day agenda is to go to Railey Beach and Phra Nang beach since it was exclaimed to be the most beautiful beach in Krabi.

Both beach is located just to the south of Ao Nang. We didn't stop at Riley but since the boat stop at Riley (west) before going to Phra Nang , we get the look and feel of it from far. 

As for Phra Nang , the beach is a hilly terrain with craggy limestone cliffs. There are no proper roads in this area which this gives a secluded feel to the place.

To go to both beaches from Ao Nang cost you about 160bath = RM16 for return per person.

You need to first purchase the boat ticket at the booth (located in front of Ao Nang beach) , they have proper booth to sell the ticket so you don't have to worry that you might be cheated for the price.

The last boat from Phra Nang is at 5.30pm so if you don't plan to spend the night there make sure to keep an eye on your boat. 

My opinion both places are just normal - or probably because it was slightly raining season in Krabi , both has white sandy beaches but the water was not as clear as i expected.

Perhentian lagi jernih and cantik!

The beach is not that long where as you walk toward the cliff , at the bottom of the cliff lies the Princess Cave or Tham Phra Nang Nok - local legend surrounds the cave and local fishermen leave offerings for good fortune. 

Fret not , It is still a great beach to simply hang out. Mostly what we did was swimming in the rain, Oh Yes after cam whoring and it started to rain .. we jump right in the ocean. 

Bila lagi nk mandi laut dlm hujan ^__^ it was fun! 

It was raining heavily when we take our journey back to Ao Nang. Sitting in the long tail boat with the locals (since we took the last boat back to Ao Nang) so kena la tahan sejuk and badan kena hujan yg sgt lebat. Fun! and lucky for us the tide was low at that time so takde la berombak sgt.

About 10minutes you safely arrive to Ao Nang. 

Only in our swimming attire we took the Tuk Tuk and went back to the hotel. 

After prayers , we off to check out Ao Nang town for dinner and to blend in and absorb the environment just like the locals. Here along the street in front of the beach , you can easily get cheap food , souvenir and you can also shop for clothes - tshirt , sarong or hats if you happen to forgot packing your beach attire. 

The look and feel just like Petaling Street. 

Day 1 we want to find the nicest and halal food and cheap dinner. 

I highly recommend here. 

Cost per person about 41bath = RM4. Mcm makan kat 'abe'. 

Then we search for desert , the famous 'Pancake'.

OMG!! you should and must try this , about 20-30bath depending on the flavour that you want. 

After dinner , after walking we hunt for massage.

Yes , one of the reason for this holiday is to have massage EVERYDAY because you won't get that price here in KL. 

Thai Massage will cost about 200-300bath for full body/hr.

There is also Aromatherapy massage , oil massage that prices also range within 250-350bath.

Cheap right. 

Day 1 we tried Thai massage at this small massage shop just in front of Ao Nang Seafood , 200bath per person. 

Day 2... to be continue.
