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

31/03/2011...
as early as 8.00am waktu krabi, agent da call kami..i woke up earlier..dgn harapan ujan da brenti..tapi agak kecewa...sbb ujan x brenti lagi tapi da reda...langit pon da x segelap semalamnye..so..aktiviti yg boleh buat ari nie adelah berkayak di ao tha lane..bfast dulu di hotel..menu dia bese2 jer..xder yg exotic, jadi xder gambo untuk ditampal...

ao tha lane tu kira2 30 min dari ao nang beach nih..ade ramai gak yg join tour hari nie..sbb aktiviti ni je yg boleh dibuat dlm keadaan cuaca camni kan..dalam group kami ade 1 couple from canada (very nice couple), another is older couple from europe (which part da lupa), 3 lelaki mat salleh yg agak snobbish, and 1 couple from malaysia..so, ok la kan ade geng..kami bergerak ke ao tha lane menaiki tuk-tuk..sbenonye ade je van...tapi nak gak nek tuk-tuk nie sbb x penah rase kan..smpai di ao tha lane, die bagi kelengkapan untuk kayak (safety jacket, dan beg yg xleh masuk air, kayak and paddler)..i ade la pengalaman kayak mase kat pangkor dulu, tapi time tu kayak tengah laut dan kejap jer 20 min jer camtu....

menaiki tuk-tuk ke ao thalane..note mat salleh encem sblh yuyu..tapi sombong la diorg..igt kite x reti english kot..

so, kali nie kayak kat laut jugak tapi ni we all go through mangrove forest, bay and canyon..the route is challaging coz kami kayak during extremely low tide..so there were times that we have to got out from the kayak and push the kayak to go through narrow and shallow channel...kayak adelah sejauh lebih dari 10km..sangat2 memenatkan bagi kami2 yg kurang fitness nye..mmg btul2 membina muscle tangan..

apart of that, the canyons are beautiful and worth the view..luckily the rain stops and we only experience little rain in the afternoon.. we did stopped at one of the beach for some pictures and relaxing..then continue for another 2 km to go back at the kayak pier for lunch...tour nyer yang ini ye kekawan..sile lihat web ini sambil melayan gambor2 kami berkayak...

 mase ni muke gembire lagi sbb xtau yg kitorg kene kayak sejauh lebih 10km...

menuju ke mangrove forest

         at the 1st canyon...we stopped here untuk amek2 gambo dan menikmati pemandangan hutan..

ade berkawan2 monyet idop kat dalam forest nie

 

 at the 2nd canyon..note forest and batu2 kat sini..shantekk kann??

 our 3rd pitstop for the day...kat sini ade small beach untuk kitorg amek2 gambo...menarik kann??

 after we had lunch, we supposed to continue kayaking coz the tour suppose to be full day which includes swimming and snorkeling..but since the weather not so good which make the water less clear, we decide to switch to experience the elephant trekking.. again, we travel by tuk-tuk (eveyone cramp in one tuk-tuk..jadi perlu mengecikkan punggung memasing dan berhempet2) to the elephant national park..dah g thailand..harusla nek gajah..gajah die sgt besau dan xcam gajah kat sini yang comel2..memule tu reluctant gak la..mampu ke gajah yg berusia 50 thn nie mampu angkat saye yg maha berat nie...tapi..bile da nek tu besh plak..ehehehe..

the elephant camp is located in the forest of Tumbon Khao Thong which is approximately 7km from ao nang beach and its on our way back from ao tha lane to ao nang..sayangnyer..mase buat elephant trekking nie hujan adelah sgt lebat...terpaksela kami pegang payung mase dok atas gajah nie..trek die boleh thn jugak..turun naik bukit siap dengan menyeberangi sungai lagi..gagah sungguh gajah nie.agaknye die xrase ape pon kitorg dok atas die...sambil gajah tu bwk kami jalan, die akan stop dan makan pucuk2 kayu..got one time tu, gajah nie baik punya carik port atas bukit nak poo-poo..klako gak time die poo-poo..rase vibrationnye..heheh..oh, of course la gajah nie di conduct oleh sorg conductor yg sgt berpengalaman..sempoi je pakcik nie tarik2 tlinge gajah nie..kitorg gak yg pegang kuat2 kat armrest kerusi atas gajah tu...takut jatuh...

so..ni antara gamba yg sempat kitorg snap mase elephant trekking...ujan x menghalang kami bergambar ye...sekian...

balik dari elephant trekking masing2 kepenatan yang maha hebat dan masing2 bantai tido especially cik yuyu yg tido xhengat donia punyer..our biceps were hurt from 10km kayaking...but then we still manage to have our dinner at a restaurant (xigt name die...james je john's corner)..ok jugak food die..dinner buffet at 250bath (RM25) sorang..western food mostly tapi ade gak 1 famous dishes kat snie yg i survey ade kat most of the restaurants..dish tu adelah ayam masak gajus..mane2 pon ade mende ni..worth jugak la  makan sini..makan sampai puas la...lepak restaurant tu lame sket..then walk back to our hotel..

on the way back tu...tetibe ade sekor monyet poke us..monyet nie ngn tuan die approached bagi peluang kite bergambo ngn monyet nie..kene bayo gak..dlm rm10 gak nak amek beberape keping gambo pon...muleh tahan mamat nie pau tourist...heheh..
