:: Awesome Krabi Trip ::

In 2011, I've started my travel with Krabi, a lovely place with lovely people :) As usual, at first plan mcm kelam kabut, transport and itineraries were all decided last minute, the only thing we prepared was hotel booking, luckily as most of the hotels were all fully booked due to long CNY holiday, in fact lotsa Malaysians were there at that time. Some of us pun tak jd join last min. So final grp was only 6 of us.

Day 1
730am - Push off from SP - Gurun, waited 15mins for Yus to bring us to Wang Kelian.
10ish - Pak Long arrived and we started our journey to Wang Kelian border, long queue at immigration. We found out that Pak Long haven't been to Krabi before so he doesn't know the road well. Hmm, 1st adventure!
6ish (local time) - Finally arrived in Haleeva Sunshine.
8pm - Went out searched for tour package and dinner at Thailandia. Me and Nurul performed 4 songs on stage. (sempat lg) :D Did some shopping too.
11pm - After most of the shopping places closed, thought of going back to hotel but after passing by some cafes we decided to stop at Coconut and chill with their local band playing. Awesome performance with well known numbers ! ;)

Day 2
730am - Woke up
830am - Had breakfast by the road side (toast bread, the hawker is Malaysian and his Thai wife)
905am - Barracudas tour van picked us up from hotel to the beach to catch the speed boat for our 4 islands+snorkeling tour package. We went to the famous Phi Phi island too and had lunch over there.
5+pm - Reached hotel then got ready for night activities pulak :)
8pm - Went out shopping and dinner at "my friend stall'. Delicious fish and chicken dish!
11pm - Went to Coconut again to see the same band playing. :)

:: Snorkeling time! ::


Day 3
7am - Woke up and pack up things to go back :(
830am - Barracudas tour van picked us up from hotel to the beach to catch the half day package tour by long tail boat. We snorkled (almost drowned when i was carried away by big wave) then kayaking around Hong Island on Andaman Sea! Woah, what an achievement ;) Had lunch on the beach - buffet.
330pm - Tour ends and went back to hotel to change and rush back to Malaysia before the border closes at 11pm.
1140pm - Reached bkt Kayu Hitam border. (Another 20min before they closed! Phew!)
1am - Reached Wang Kelian.
2ish - Reached SP.

  2. hi marsh, not barging at all :) for me, i can say it's a pretty comfy place except for there's no elevator over there, so u hv to climb up the stairs but it'll no problem if ur room is on the lower floors. i absolutely love the room, it looks exactly the same as what are shown on the sites. The staff are really nice. The beach is about 20 mins walking distance from the hotel. The night market is along the road so it's pretty close and in fact if u walk from hotel, u will actually start walking from the starting point of the night market.
    I hope i answered ur Qs. Enjoy ur trip and if u love seafood, u shud try to eat the steamed/fried fish at the stall in front of swensen restaurant.
