Krabi Getaway

Krabi - a place that is coming up , but still less touristy as Phuket. I think quite a number of populations here are muslims, you can actually saw many ladies in tudung, or at least have their hair wrapped up. Their are also restaurants, food stalls that sell halal food.


Many websites state that May - Oct is raining season (tat's y it is low season too), i was worry whether it will ruin my trip or not....but thank god, everyday was a sunny day, except there was a day it is raining in Ao Nang. (but we were away island hopping).


The main road in Ao Nang

As it is low season, we get cheaper deal on accomodation & tour.

We stayed at Ben's House, a fabulous , cute little guesthouse. It is few months old, still new.

600 Baht (800 baht with ABF) per night for a Superior Room. They provide housekeeping everyday, 2 bottles of water everyday, and it has a swimming pool too! I got no complaint at all.

Islands Hopping

Ben's House also has tour arrangement services, we booked our "4 islands " (450 baht by long tail boat) & "Phi Phi Island" (1000 baht by speedboat) trip with them.


The "4 Islands Tour" (include Poda island, Hong Island, Chicken Island, Phranang Cave)

Poda Island


Poda Island


Tub Island (Note the sand strip in the middle of the sea, it appear during low tide, and 1 can walk over to the small island on the other side)


Sumwhere near to the Phranang Cave


Chicken Island (Koh Khai)


Vendors on the island


after bargaining, i bought a corn for 30 baht, & a BBQ drumstick (Gai Yang in thai) for 40 baht. (is expensive to me ) .


Phi Phi Island Tour

Bamboo Island

This cute baby gal was same boat with me, her parents leave her alone playing sands and go for photo session.. that is how a western child is being brought up to be independant i believe.



Maya Bay (it become so famous after movie "The Beach" was filmed there)


I think in total i spent about RM600 for this tour.. i did not fly there, but i used land transpot all the way up till Krabi.

It goes this way:
KL- Hatyai (abt 10hrs by bus)
Hatyai - Krabi town (abt 4hrs by bus)
Krabi Town - Ao Nang (30 min)

Ao Nang - Hatyai (abt 5 hrs by minivan)
Hatyai - KL (abt 16 hrs by train , and of coz....i'll definitely go for a sleeping berth)
