It's 3.00am now. Shall do a blog post since i can't sleep. So me & Andy planned a trip to Krabi in April. I really really want to visit an island since years ago. My old wish list was redang island (Like when i was in sec school and i don't know a lot of other beautiful islands) BUT NOW I KNOW. Before i go, i asked around and googled a lot about Krabi. The people in Krabi are very friendly and welcoming so i am not worry on getting lost there :p. It's very easy to make friends there! My main visit was to explore their offshore islands! Many thanks to FANGS who provided me with lots of detailed information and reassure me that -
I DO NOT HAVE TO PLAN MY ITINERARY. Well, but you should know which island you want to go. You will be spoilt for choices when you arrive there. This is what i LOVE about Krabi (I hate planning, i'll get very stress over itinerary).
There are about 8 districts in Krabi Province. So Krabi is NOT JUST KRABI. You have to decide which area you want to stay in. If you are unsure, you can visit this website to find out more: http://www.yourkrabi.com/where-to-stay-krabi/ - Anyway, i chose to stay in Ao Nang and have not regret a single bit. It's more like a beach town and it's easier to get around in Ao Nang. I don't wish to travel by bus or tutu to get to the beach so Ao Nang was perfect for us. Ao nang beach was just a 5 mins walk from my resort. Super awesome! If you prefer places that has more cafes, bars or even night markets, you should stay in Krabi Town though it's more crowded. Food and drinks are much more cheaper there! I personally think that Krabi Town is quite boring :/ Shall blog about it on another post.
Really have to do something about this content width. My pictures look so small :C!

We took Tiger air - Direct Flight to Krabi ($295 for 2)

Arrived in Krabi at 12.30pm. There will be a bus service counter over at the airport.
You just have to tell them your hotel name and they will send you to your hotel.
Bus ticket was about $6-8 dollar. Can't remember. Please do not take taxi there.
It's very expensive. It's not as cheap as Bangkok. Even more ex then sg.

Our super good stay recommended by Fangs!

The weather was really sunny. Andy had a hard time opening his eyes.
Like his eyes is not small enough. HAHAHA I was quite worried about the weather
because the online weather forecast shows that it will either rain or thunderstorm
throughout my stay in Krabi but I AM REALLY LUCKY. Weather was sunny
everyday! I was told by the people that the rain only comes at about
11pm - 12am at night so don't worry and have fun and i did :D

The street in Ao nang - We went out to explore the street while waiting for our
check-in time and decided to rent a bike for our stay in Ao nang. At first, Andy wasn't
really supportive of that idea as he don't ride a bike in SG but have tried once or twice
many years back but i'm like "YOLO" everyday. Hahahaha I think life is quite boring
if you are afraid to try out new things. We all will die as we age. It's just a matter of time.

You will see a lot of bike rental everyday. You do not need a license to rent a bike.
Just need to pass them your passport as a deposit. The rental fee is $8SGD for 24hrs.
Super WTF. Dammm cheap! Anyway i'm so happy Andy decided to rent a bike to
explore Krabi with me! I swear everyone have to try it once in their lifetime.
Just to be safe, get the Honda bike that is fully auto. Super easy to ride!

Act yi ge. I tried but i couldn't take the weight of the bike. Not to think about
another person sitting behind me. HAHAHAHA
|
 |
So Andy took over and we ride to different places to explore :)

In Ao Nang, you will find a whole row of tour agency that will bring you
to different offshore islands and places for activities. You have to engage them
if not you won't be able to go there by yourself. All of them have almost the same
package so you just have to walk around and see which tour package suits you.
I was quite confused at first but settled down with one of the agency which
happen to be the same as fangs cause she send me a picture of the shop and
i recognized it. Hahahaha Can't remember the name but the lady was very
friendly and specially kind in giving us discounts :p We bought 3 days tour
so we don't have to worry about our itinerary anymore. This is the reason
why you don't really have to plan your itinerary. Just know which island
and activities you wanna go for.
