Krabi Trip

4 days 3 nights in Krabi.

What started out as a solo trip, turned into a trip with Netty, followed by Nazron joining us at the airport and Fairul surprising us at the gate.

4 of us.

1st day

Touchdown around 4pm in Krabi, check-in by 5pm and had dinner soon after. Thankfully, Nazron and Fairul have bike licenses so we rented 2 bikes for us. 

Had dinner then went to Krabi Town Night Market. Before we knew, we actually spent like a good 3 hours shopping there. I mean, the ride from our hotel to the place, itself was half an hour but it was definitely worth it. The ride was totally relaxing, with the cool breeze, the darkness of the night skies and the peacefulness of the countryside. It was a drastic change from the crazy bright lights and traffic jams of the Singapore's roads. It felt really good riding around at night.

By the time, we reached the hotel, it was after midnight. We unpack our stuffs, sorted out our shoppings and drank our troubles away. By the time, we fell asleep, it was already 4 in the morning.

2nd day

So much for wanting to wake up at 7am. We woke up around 9am and completely took our own sweet time to get ready. We originally wanted to go to 'The Grotto', a restaurant on one of the nearby islands inside a cliff. Took a 15 minutes boat ride and spent more than an hour searching for the restaurant only to be told that it's only for the resort's residences. 

End up, taking pictures by the beaches and the cliffs before we went back. We dropped by a nearby Buddhist Temple located under a cliff. I was just in awed by the entire place. After that, we explore the stretch of Ao Nang area, filled with shops. While Fairul had his tattoo done, we managed to walked the stretch to find souvenirs for our friends.

By the time we were done, we went for dinner and reached back to our hotel around 1 in the morning. We had another drinking session and a really in-depth conversation about everything till it was 5 in the morning.

3rd day

Surprisingly Nazron was able to wake up by 7am and pack his stuffs and went out by 9.30am. He had to fly off for a wedding. We continued sleeping and woke up at 11am before getting ready to go to the Tiger Temple Cave.

It was 1 in the afternoon when we reached there. I salute Fairul for managing to climb up all 1,237 steps to the summit. I applaud Netty for managing to get up to 800 plus steps before she tired herself out. As for me, I only managed to get to 300 steps before I freaked out because of the height. I didn't realized that my fear of heights was really overwhelming. I couldn't shake it off until a couple of hours later.

We originally wanted to go to Emerald Pool after we were done by found out that it was closed at 5pm. In the end, we found some random beach and spent our time taking some really beautiful sunset shoots before we went off for dinner.

After dinner, we went off for a much-needed manicure, pedicure and massage. Spent a good 2 and half hours getting pampered by some of the most friendliest Thai people that we have ever met. Went for supper at a nearby McDonalds before finally going back to the hotel to pack out stuffs.

By 4am, all 3 of us were sound asleep and surprisingly enough, the 3 of us managed to wake up by 8am and check-out by 9.30am.

4th day

We reached the airport on time. We check-in on time. We definitely going to miss Krabi.

Surprisingly, Kak Lenny and family were there to fetch Netty. It was a nice feeling to see familiar faces at the airport before we went our separate ways.

Definitely need to plan another outing as a group and this time round, we need to include Azieera, Dzaki and the 2 boys - a family outing. In Shaa' Allah.
