Krabi Trip



















Heres short trip report from my vacation in krabi. How short very short i guess
Day one
Took a trip via tigerairway budget airline to krabi with jon, daniel and j, had to queue up right in front before boarding to get the best seats. 1 thing about budget airline is they try to cram in as many passenger as they possibly can. Every space available is taken up by seats. I wonder where do the air crew strap themselves up when on takeoff and landing. In the toliet ? or strap standing in the kitchen area? or in the landing gear compartment?




















Anyway the unexpected happened on a supposely sunny resort.. It rain..well not really rain but drizzle..Not wanting to lose out precious time, we rush out to do our shopping. Had a go time bargaining like what the farangs (foreigner) do, slashing price by half of what they quoted.

and everyday in the evening we have treated with a relaxing massage at an incredible low price of 250 bath (not baht, $10 bucks) . Sometime i would even fall asleep during the session

Krabi was separated into 2 area.. ao nang beach which is a resort visited by mostly europeans like swedes and german etc.. while krabi town a place for backpackers and the locals.
We had a try on the local low price food at the open air hawker stalls. food are like 4 times cheaper then those resturant found in ao nang beach.



























We also visited the local hotest pub called mixer (no foriegner in sight!) The band of the night is SPICY and boy are they good. The whole fun thai atmosphere was great. We had a great time.




















During our 5 island tout ( not really 5 island stopover but really just 2 island), we got to feed the fishes with bread crumb.. its up close and personal a really theraputic experience i must say.
At hong island our tour guide told us that the forest inside is haunted by ghost of those who died in the 2004 tsunamis. He warn us not to go inside, for you might hear the dead people crying.




















On the last day we hop ove to pranang beach for some tanning, although not much sun. And finally we tried to find the hidden lake on top of the hill of pranang..illusive i must say ..after 1 hour we still could not find it. Instead we got bruises and mosquito bite as a reminder of our failed mission! "i'll be back the next time!"
