Krabi Trip 2008

Sawadikap :)

When I heard stories from friends and acquaintances about the wonders of Krabi I thought, 'Wow, we* must've made a right decision when we picked up Krabi as our group vacation destination'. And yes, we did make a right decision. KRABI is SUPER AWESOME y'all. The place, the people, THE FOOD, the sea. My goodness. I don't see any problem if I am to stay there for a month. Or two months. Or six months. Haha. Aku kan si dugong. Takleh nampak air, pastiku gumbira tak hengat donia. I can stay snorkelling for hours and I don't mind getting baked and toasted by the friendly sun. I fell in love with the place and now really missed the laid back atmosphere, the beautiful sea, the gorgeous natural ponds, the awesome food and the wonderful people of Krabi.

* We aka decision makers = Eusopth, Azyei, Rizal, Leo and myself :)

I don't mind going there again next year :) I tell you. In fact I recommend you guys to check the place out real soon. Well of couse please do take into account to wait till the current Thailand's political turmoil to ease down before you guys hit Krabi, just for precaution and safety purposes :)

Okay gang, I think it's better for you guys to look at the piccies rather than reading my long and and winding entry. Enjoy :)

Trying to look cool in the Hot Spring. It's 40-42 degree Celcius yo! Fuh-yo!

23rd August 2008: Day 4- Was waiting for our next tour to start at @rt Canoeing tour office when Krabi parade marched down the street :D

Queen of Krabi met Queen of Sewing?

The elephant ride. Lara Croft sangat..

Bard, Muay Nuang the elephant and myself

P/S: After the elephant ride we stopped by at this very beautiful natural pond. However I was sabotaged by the photographer (Bard) because I CAN SWIM and he can't. No photos were taken there :(. Only the guide and me swam at the pond. The rest of the crew buhsan menunggu di tepian air dan tak berani masuk cause the water is deep :p

My first canoe experience. And we did it WITHOUT life jacket ok. Saspen because in our group only our guide and me saje yang tau berenang. Yang lain ada yang boleh but with life jacket, quite a few cannot swim at all. We stopped in the middle of the sea, seriously. Tiba-tiba je ada beting pasir. If the tide is low, I bet a small sand island will form at this spot :)

The Sixth Jump - at the cove

The Seventh Jump was done in the sea - our stop at the cove when we did our canoeing

Iyah iyah iyah..

Canoeing through the swamp

24th August 2008: Day 5- The Eighth Jump was done in Krabi Town

The antic shop in Krabi Town

Note : What we didn't know was that Krabi Town's as good as an old sleeepy town on lazy Sundays, so yeah we pretty much wasted about almost an hour there trying to find evidence of life and shopping spots

The puppets in the antic shop
