Krabi... Nice place with plenty of beautiful islands to visit. It's simply beautiful.. I'm planning a trip back in Jan2005. This time to stay longer there so i can visit most of the islands which we missed this trip.

Day 1 15Oct2004
We depart Singapore for Krabi on 15Oct2004 @ 0740am on Silkair 732. Arrival @ 0825am.. Upon arrival, we went for a half day tour to places like Tiger Cave(buddhist temple), fish farm, Krabi Town shopping and lunch. It 's a bit waste of time. By the time we reached hotel for check-in is almost 3pm. After which, all of 4 of us chilled @ the Pool Bar, eating and swimming. In the nite, we went to Tanta Restaurant and had our dinner. Good food and cheap beer!! After dinner, Joel, Jennat and Gavin had Thai massage, whereas i had foot massage. We all retire early for our Phi Phi Island tour the next day.

Day 2 16Oct2004
We woke up early and excited. Had our breakfast and met up with our Tour guide, Pern. Jennat bargained real hard on the 2 tours we are interested, 1250baht for our Phi Phi Island tour and 1150baht on our white water rafting tour. Total? 2400baht on 2 full day tours, approx S$100! Cheap! And it includes lunch.. We went to Ao Nang Beach(in front of Ao Nang Villa) to board our speedboat for Phi Phi Island tour. The speedboat ride took us 45mins to reach Phi Phi Island. The ride was fun(my 1st time on speedboat!) but rough. We also had a 'puker' in our boat, she couldn't tahan the ride and she puke! Ewwww.... 1st Bay, Maya Bay, amde famous by movie 'The Beach'! The rest? See the pictures and you will know what is white sands and turquoise waters! Snorkel was fun in the deep sea, the depth is approx. 3-5m. Saw alot of fishes and squids! Too bad we didn't buy any water proof cameras, if not i would have upload the pictures of us snorkelling.. When we are back in Ao Nang, Joel & Gavin went to rente the bikes for 2days, 2bikes @ 500baht! They were etremely happy and excited about the rental.. Guys.. *haiz*

Day 3 17Oct2004
This morning, we woke up early, had breakfast and depart for our adventurous rafting day. The journey to the National Park where the waterfall and the rafting will take place, took us 2hrs! Upon arrival, we took the Land Rover to the waterfall and we trekked for 15mins before reaching the waterfall.. Joel attempted a jump from the cliff which stand about 2 stories high.. Then came the highlight of the day, white water rafting! Boy.. We had so much fun.. The rafters purposely hit our raft with all the rocks around and we spun! All 4 of us were also dumped inside the river and the river CURRENTS were very strong!Had such a good time doing the white water rafting! After lunch, i fell sick.. Gastric. So sick that i can't go for the elephant trekking (which Joel wanted to ride and i can't, i feel so bad)! The baby elephant show we attended is very touristic but all 4 of us loved the female elephant. Why? She loved to dance and played the harmonica at the same time.. Lovely girl! Last event of the day, ATV adventure.. Gavin was so excited about it that he rode the ATV like no other people's business. He came back muddy.. Me? Ride 1 round and came back.. Too sick to really enjoy it.. *haiz*

Day 4 18Oct2004
Last day in Krabi.. Still recovering from the fever i had the night before... *haiz* Joel, Jennat & Gavin went galivanting around Krabi before returning to the hotel for check-out @ 2pm. They went to the beach where it's of walking distance to the island nearby when it's low tide. Cool! They came back to Ao Nang Villa, picked me up, checked out and had lunch @ the Ao Nang shopping area. After that, we make our way back to return the bikes and to wait for our coach to Airport for our flight. Lucky for us, our Silkair flight departs Krabi @ 625pm. I'm so sad that i have to leave Krabi but i told myself i will be back! :0

Krabi is worth considering other than the usual Phuket and Bali!

Cheers!
