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..

monyet ni bername lisa ye...harap maklumm...

ok, done 2nd day at krabi...kite jumpe lagi di part seterusnya..

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..

                                                                                               (courtesy of google image)

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?

bab azam yang satu ni (mengurangkan berat badan dan stay healthy) adelah lifetime commitment (JM<--Jillian Michael nyer saying nih)...so, once in a while maybe i akan update pasal status kesihatan saye..yele da lame kompol lemak kan..health kene jage gakkk..klu x sehat camne nak travel kan?? ok..semoga DIA beri kesihatan untuk saye jalani kehidupan dan buat ape yg terdapat dalam wishlist saye ye..amiiiiiinnnnn...

a new start

hey korang..ni le akibatnye bile banyak buat blogwalking...seronot plak membace blog org..keinginan nak buat blog sendiri pon timbul..

but anyway..the main reason is...just to put something in a document...which something refers to experience and feelings...n since dunia cyber ni besau amat..plus all feelings and experience can be shared, so blogging is the right choice (i guess so!)...hohoho..plus (byk plak plus nyer)....i nak share byk mende tahun nie kot...insyaAllah..

ok..so pade kamu-kamu (ye..kamu2 yg sedang membace ini) sume..thank u da very much sbb mahu dan meluangkan mase kamu bace my writings..heharap kamu2 x boring ye..(plus..boleh update gossip juge..saye tau kamu suke kann???!! ye..saye paham..sbb saye suke juge...ngeh3)

ok babes...enjoy!!
