Krabi...30 Mac - 2 April 2011 (PART 1)

i went to krabi, thailand on end of last month..it was the 1st planned big vacay (planned since last year)...airplane tix was bought in mac ke may 2010..da lupe da..lame sgt..ni penangan free seat air asia la nie..since i love travelling kan..this site been bookmarked since forever..hohoh..ok, enuf membebel...

so, krabi trip ni i pegi 2 org je ngn my fren, a teenage fren (been friend wif her since form 2) yang same2 keje kat kl..geng hangout i le jugak (occasionally u ols akan dikenalkan ngn sume hot frens i have)...panggil die cik yuyu yer..since geng len xmo hekot..so kitorg decide just go for it jer..2 org pon 2 org laa...janji pegi..so mase yg ditunggu2 pon tiba

30/3/2011..
plane on the afternoon, but we arrive morning (kol 11 tu kire pagi lah kan)..makan di ol'town LCCT, dan dengan kesenangan web check in airasia, xperlula kitorg beratur pepanjang...so, for those airasia passanger, note that now korang da boleh web check in yer..anyway..sesape yg de henpon canggih manggih lagi la boleh buat mobile check in (i pakai cokia express music je, sekian)

ok, layan gambo seblom take off yer..

arrived at krabi airport aroud 3 o'clock..since i have secured our ground arrangement (paid -+ RM600/pax for those 4d3n ground arrangement with krabidiscovery) ade lah org yg jemput kami di airport..cam VIP rase..huhuh...travel from airport to ao nang beach (where our pre-booked hotel located) took about 45 mins..coz ade flood along the way tu..ha, ni nak rewind sket..mase kitorg smpai tu ujan pule..so according to travel agent yg pick up kitorg ni, it was raining for 4 days straight in krabi n there is flood everywhere..we were luckier coz x stuck kat airpor coz according to her, tourist yg datang earlier ade yg stuck kat airport sbb jalan ke krabi town/ao nang tutup sbb flood...mmg agak sedih la jugak..sbb kitorg expect a bright sunny day bile touch down tuh..yele..nak g pantai kan..harus la nak sun..tapi since kitorg nie x rajen follow berite, tatau la yg southern thai nie dok ujan manjang 2/3 ari before our flight tu...so..ekceli aktiviti agak terbatas..tapi nak wak camne kan..its beyond our control..but since da sampai..we just enjoy along the trip lah..

kitorg checked in at ao nang sunset hotel..

ni le gambo banjir yang melanda di krabi. Pic was taken from inside the car. mase ni on the way dari krabi airport ke ao nang beach

ok nie nak cerita sket..krabi nie is once of province in thailand..it is located near andaman sea...its actually like a big lagoon camtu..korang sile google map thailand sendiri yek, sila rajen sket..heheh..so, kabi xjauh ngn phuket, and kat krabi itself ade beberapa tempat yg menarik to stay..biasanya org dok area ao nang (ao means bay in thais), railay, koh lanta or those ppl yg sangat kayam boleh stay kat phi phi island itself..yg paling menarik pegi krabi ni basically of coz la pantainye kann..dan phi phi island is a must coz the the view is worth your money to see..mmg cantik..well..more on phi phi island in my next post..

however, beside pantai nye..krabi has lot to offer, korg leh wat survey kat link yg i bagi kat atas tadi..one of its attaction die adelah bukit2 batu kapur dia..ok, kalau korg lalu north-south highway yg kat terowong yg panjang ke arah utara tu (near changkat jering kot) kan nampak bukit2 batu kapur ngn hutannye yg cantek2...but in krabi ni its more..these limestones are hills with virgin forest..view batu kapur itself tu dah cantik...well..pictures speaks thousand words kan..

so..sampai tuh...kitorg diberi simcard no. thailand supaye senang agent tu call kami dan susun aktiviti untuk esok..since cuaca x menentu, aktiviti untuk 3 ari nie still xleh decide..basically ground arrangement ni include hotel, transfer from airport to hotel, 2 days tour with lunch..dinner excluded..

after that kitorg berjalan2 di sekitar ao nang punye town sehingga malam then had our dinner..there are lots of shops and restaurant..its a lot..everything u wanna eat is there McD, burger king, pizza, lot of thais and western restaurant..no worries nk cari makanan halal, sbb its everywhere..ramai je muslims kat ao nang nie..tourist ramai la mat salleh...tapi kedai2 die ade yg muslims..(ok, lebih picca akan diupload..lupe nak copy lam pendrive dari com kat opis)..1st day trus cari tomyam of course..dan kitorang try banana pancake...korang nak tau camne upe die??

sile refer mende yg i pegang tu yer

basically, pisang yg di hiris dan dibungkus ngn roti canai..haaa..cam roti pisang laa..tapi ni roti die nipis betul dan rangup dan pisang adelah byk..siap sapu nuttella atas die (kalori? ahhhh...)..ni le kedai yg menjual mende alah di atas..

ok, ni adelah gambo ao nang beach town tuh...

krabi town @night..note that motor2 nie boleh disewa yer..

then lepak2 waktu malam di bar melayan diet coke...hohoho..pls note tourist mat salleh ramai gila dan kat sini sgt byklah bar die..but less disco, unless kat centrepoint where all these tourist gathers..tapi ade sebuah dua je disco...memlm town adelah agak tenang dan kurang havoc sket..org ckap x as lively as phuket or koh sa mui kan..tapi lewat2 mlm sket..dgr la jugak loud music coming from the bars. Tapi korang jgn expect ade beach party kat area ao nang nie ye..tatau la kot sbb cuaca x sesuai nak party or bukan musimnye, but i cant see one..so, layan gamba lepak kat bar je la yer...

since dah lewat kitrorg blk otel tido n siapkan diri untuk aktiviti esoknyer..so..jumpe di part 2 ok?
