Krabi is just an island in Thailand. It's a place fulled of many beautiful small islands. I love the place very much.....
The trip is on last year 2009 and because I got no time to updated in my blog until now.This is also the ever first oversea trip for me and Edward.It's not the whole Krabi Island that we explored but there's a tourist spot named Ao Nang that we hang around.
I planned the trip all by myself.I'm those type of ppl who don't really like to join or find a travel agency to help me arrange everything. I prefer searching my own for hotels,tickets and places of interest.
I choose a boutique hotel named "The Small Hotel". It's a sister hotel owned by "The Hotel Playa Krabi",which is a 5star hotel in Krabi.The package offered by the hotel included upgraded mini suite with breakfast, 1dinner for two,4-islands hopping included lunch for two and the airport transfer.
In Krabi, you can get even more choices of hotel when u reach there. Cheap,luxury and even exotic hotel you can get there. I got the package from the MATTA FAIR 2009. For me,it's indeed a cheap and money worth package.....I really got a very happy,relaxing and enjoyable time in Ao Nang,Krabi.
Although,it's just a 3days 2nights trip.However,I really wished that I can stay longer there. The place is so much beautiful and warm. You can just walking on the street with no worries about snatch-thief, where to go, and what things you would like to do......
There are lots of cuisine restaurants; Thai food,Western food,Chinese food,Indian food and etc. If you are a drinker,I can guaranteed that you sure will love the place.The beer is much more cheaper than in Malaysia. I think you can buy 2big bottle of beer in Ao Nang with the price of 1bottle here....
During day time,you can find peaceful,sea-breeze,sunshine and friendly ppl around you. I can suggest those who lazy and tired walking can rent a motorbike to travel around the places. This what we did because the weather is really hot during day time.Or you can go for elephant rides,tiger cave,islands hopping,diving,fishing,massaging or lots more water activities.........
While,the night life is much more crowded, noisy and happening. You started can see lots of restaurants that closed in the day all seems awake in the darkness. Bars and lounges also popping out during night time.This is where the time for girls to shop around as well......(cos the weather is so cooling at night).
As for the islands hopping that we went are Tud Islands,Chicken Island,Railey Islands and also Toda Islands. It's also one of the activities that I felt memorable.You can see the islands is so beautiful and rural. Although the weather is really hot but I love the scenery. They also provided very good services during the islands hopping.
There's a story when I go to Railey Island.In that island,there's a small cave temple named "Pranang"(might be wrong spelling).long long ago,there live a girl called Pranang that had committed suicide because of a man. For Thai,they believe she had a superb power to grant ppl's wishes but once your wishes came true,you must make a wood craft alike penis to her as a return.It's because long long ago,there's a fisherman was caught in the thunderstorm while he is fishing nearby the island.So,he shouted,"Pranang,if u can stop the thunder storm and let me go back home save,I'll give you penis for return". After he vow,the thunder storm really stop.The fisherman kept his promise and bring a penis made from wood as a return to thank Pranang.For me,I felt so unbelievable and scary.....
Here comes the food...........the food in Krabi are definitely suitable for Malaysian.We loved it so much and it's really tasty.....even the stall beside the road is also superb.....especially the BBQ Squid...........It's really goes well with the beer......but Edward love so much for the shrimp with asparagus that we had in the restaurant named Echo......
I really love the place and I do hope I can go back again.......
Lastly,sorry for my broken english......just felt wrote it this way....hehhehehe
