Sawadeeka Krabi!

I haven't updated in a while because I was busy with work and plus I didn't have much to write about anyway or rather being lazy. :P. Anyway, I just came back from a vacation and no way am i gonna miss bloggin this.

This is the first time ever that I came back from a holiday spotting bruises and cuts but it was so damn fun! My muscles were screaming a little but it was so worth it! And I spotted JACK SPARROW!!!(remember Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean?) Yes.. pictures in a short while. The only downside to this holiday was I got sooooooooo dark and it's not those tan-golden-like colour. I have slapped on so much sunscreen but to no avail. Sux.

It was a 4 days n 3 nights stay in a beautiful resort hotel ..the view from my hotel porch was beautiful overlooking a small hill?, a lake and the swimming pool with lots of greeneries. It was quiet, calm and you wake up to the sound of birds chirping. Nice. If the location is nearer to Ao Nang beach then it would be PURRFECT!

There was so much things to do in Krabi .. but our time there was short. We wanted to try out so many things but we could only fit in white water rafting, ATV and 4 islands tour and snorkelling. Thank god we didn't take up rock climbing as I don't think my sore muscles could take it anymore.

On our first day, it was just hanging around in Krabi Town. Nothing much there so we had our Thai traditional massage and boy, did it hurt. I never had Thai massages that hurt like this before. The masseuse was using her elbow all the time. Are they supposed to be using their elbow? Anyway, we went around to their night market after that but it was just alllll fooooddd, so was pretty disappointed at that.

Second day was the BOMB. Mac our tour guide is so far the friendliest guide that I have ever encounter. (He’s studying master while working part time as a tour guide). Talks a lot and gave us lots of tips on getting around. First, we went for white water rafting in Phang Nga. The river wasn’t that fast so I thought it was an easy ride. WRONG! I got thrown off my place at least 5 times like a rag doll and left bruises on my feet. I almost drop out, if it wasn’t for the guy next to me pulling me back in. It was exciting but I think once is enough for me. After that we move on to ATV ride. This is also a first for me and thank god we took the one hour ride instead of the two hour. The ride was quite challenging for a beginner and a friend ATV broke down twice and needed to be changed to new ones because we constantly rammed into rocks and such. Mac said the last time he went there; he needed to change 3 ATVs. Although we had cuts and bruises from this, it’s totally recommended!!




The next day was the 4 islands tour and snorkeling. This is where we met Jack Sparrow (our tour guide for the day). In Poda island, we were lucky as a school of fishes just swam around us near the beach without us needing to snorkel at all. I think it was because of TF striking blue shorts that attract all those fishes and luckily Sammi and Alex had their waterproof camera. We then stop at Chicken Island that err…looks like a chicken and another island which name I had forgotten because I almost drown there and then there’s Railay beach. The nicest of them all. Beautiful view from the cave. So there, that pretty much sums up my vacation in Krabi. Though I didn’t get to shop and buy stuff(which is a must in every vacation), it’s still a very very exciting and fun trip. Here’s some pictures:-

We had to pay 100baht for this in Ao Nang beach!
