Back from Krabi on Fri night, touched down on runway 02L around 10pm plus, holiday mood ended the moment we stepped out of the tiger airways airbus 320. It was a fun trip, re-energize after the 4 days 3 nights trip, feels so refreshed. It feels good to have a holiday once in a while, after all the checking out procedures, reached home around 11pm, bathed and was on the bed by 11.30pm cos i got to work at 8am the next day, was rostered to go back to work, anyway it means only 2 days of vacation leave was deducted for my 4 days of holiday, no complaints though as i think i only have a few days of vacation leave left but i did still have my 10 plus days of unrecorded leave.....(be warned, this will be a long post)
During our Krabi trip, we took around 600 shots of photos but it was still not enuff for us, hahaha...... got to delete those we think were not nicely taken to free up space, my fault as i forgot to bring the 2G memory card along, tot it will be enuff........in the end, even had to use our handphone to take some of the photos. The trip adds on to our collection of photos we took all this while, an astonishing 8G worth of photos. Too lazy to upload all the photos thus done up a slideshow as below, anyway pictures speak a thousand words......
First day.......
The flight was delayed on tuesday evening, only managed to depart around 45mins behind schedule, reached Krabi around 7.30pm which is 1 hr behind S'pore. Got into the minivan that was provided by the hotel. After checked in, went to the hotel restaurant to have our dinner which was included in the package we took up. Walked along Ao Nang beach which was their main street of shopping after dinner, din really venture far as we were both tired and decided to continue tomorrow, thus it was back to hotel for my much needed sleep cos i din really sleep after my morning duty on tuesday.
Second day.......
Wanted to rent a motorbike to travel around but was told by the hotel staff that it will be quite dangerous cos the road is slippery due to the rain and there are alot of small lanes, thus not advisable for foreigners to do tat, i was quite touched by their consideration that they actually care cos some places i went to do not care much for their guests as long as they got money for watever services they provided, regardless of any undesirable conditions it may posed to us......so in the end we decided to go Krabi town using the transport provided by the hotel, of cos.....Nothing much in Krabi town, only managed to buy some clothes and tidbits to be brought back to S'pore, lunch was eaten at Pizza Company followed by Swensens while waiting for the transport to pick us up again in 3 hrs time......Rain started to fall again by the time we reach the hotel, rest in the room waiting for the rain to stop before walking along the main streets of Ao Nang Beach again.....Dinner was at this place where most of the seafood stores were located, chose the one with the most customers and began to order our dishes, 5 dishes including chilli crab cost us only less than SGD $20.......shiok.....after that it was shopping time while it also helped to digest our full and blown up stomach in the mean time.......
Third day.....
Woke up early for our breakfast before our much anticipated Phi Phi Island Tour (Phi Phi Islands consists of 7 islands, the must thing to do in Krabi).......Our group consists of around 25 passengers including crew, got on the speedboat at around 9plus before zooming on the sea to the island. 1st snorkeling location was at Monkey Bay, the sea is clear with nice coral and marine fishes swimming around it.......it was fun......but the sea water was so salty as i gulped down a few mouthful of it......after tat was to proceed to Maya Bay, the location where "The Beach" featuring Leonardo Di Caprio was filmed....walking around the beach relaxing and photo taking took up 1 hr before going to Phi Phi Don for lunch, the largest island where there is inhabitants residing on the island......Last stop was snorkeling at Bamboo Island.......another fabulous beach and gorgeous beach with coral reefs......fortunately for us, the weather throughout the trip was good......Everything was wrapped up and reached the pier in the late afternoon, went back to hotel to wash up before catching a small nap, and it was time again for dinner and shopping.....
Dinner was at this italian restaurant, named La Luna Italiano, the food was nice and cheap as usual.....and the unpredictable rain began to find its way to the ground again......while waiting for the rain to stop, it was photo taking and crapping with my special one......as the rain began to reduce its frequency, we decided to proceed on.......decided to go for Thai traditional massage while Rach went for her medicure and pedicure.....feels good after tat though i felt ticklish during the process......
Fourth and final day......
Decided to skip breakfast for our last day as we want to sleep till we are "full".......carry on to pack our luggage before checking out.....and it will be a good 5 hours before it will be time to go to the airport, so off again we go for our lunch and last min shopping.......lunch was at Black Canyon Coffee.....nice food they served and nice ambience, and i guess we put on weight for these few days as it was ice cream time again at Fika Cafe....pancakes with egg and banana also went into our stomach before our airport transfer came to pick us up at 5.30pm......before eventually arriving back in S'pore at night which i mentioned earlier on.
Re-charged and re-vitilized but i will still be very much anticipating for my next trip in Dec hopefully ...... =)
