Krabi Trip March 2014

It is season of break again, a mark of halfway through the struggle of my second semester in TTC with a bunch of crazy and perhaps "stupid" friends? Haha...anyway, here are the pictures!

First day
- depart from Changi airport and arrived Krabi airport
- arranged airport transfer from krabi trek:
website: http://krabitrek.com/
highly recommended for their high efficiency and competitive price. Again, I am not paid for any promotion, just wanna be helpful!
Price available at their website, can email them for group purchase and ask for discount.

Check in hotel: Red Ginger Chic Resort
Overall review:
- great breakfast 7.5/10
- great pool + great poolside bar! excellent for afternoon swim (happy hour 3-4pm) with drinks and finger food!
- rooms with better view will be those facing the pool (of course, more expensive), the rooms with access to the pool look interesting

Hotel lobby with cozy place to sit

                                              Hotel lobby bar, mojito highly recommended!

Dinner: Wang Sai Seafood
- highly recommend for amazing sunset dinner (the sunset is amazing, the dinner so so)
- also the place where you can catch a ride to my favorite Railay Beach

                                                      Wang Sai Seafood - good for sunset photo shooting

                                                Coconut shake - tastes good!

                                              Food of the day!

Second Day - Phi Phi Island
- we paid 1300 THB/pax for the speedboat island tour to phi phi
- refer pictures and judge for yourself

                                                Trip inclusive of complimentary ride from hotel to the "jetty"

                                        Straw mat provided by Red Ginger Chic Resort - such convenience!

                                               Our boat mates of the day!

                               Quite crowded - not sure whether it was because of school holiday?

                            Sun in Thailand is definitely of different hotness altogether.

Our tour guide who constantly counting the number of passengers to make sure no one fall into the sea by accident.

                                                        Amazing view.

                                   Complimentary lunch at Phi Phi Don

                                              Souvenir shop at Phi Phi Don

    If I remember correctly, this should be the bamboo island - most beautiful beach among all the others.

Third Day - Railay Beach
- 10 minutes long tail boat ride from Ao nang Beach/ Wang Sai Seafood, around 100 THB/per pax
- exactly because it is near, highly recommend it to be included in your krabi trip
- perfectly fit for swimming, sun tanning, slacking
- whole stretch of shops selling food and drink
- recommend to visit both west and east railay (and also pay a visit to phra nang beach), they are all within minutes of walk from one another, also accessible by long tail boat ride from one place to another

                     Taking boat ride from Wang Sai seafood - you need to get yourself wet

                                                                 "owners" of the boat

                                                     playful little girl

                             Exploring Railay West

                                On the way to Railay East

  Railay East - Mangrove beach, not famous for swimming for obvious reason. Boat from Krabi town will drop by here.

                                                Afternoon high tea/lunch - for me, this it the highlight!

This is one of the shop at Railay East. It is very noticeable, two floors, with beach view, serve delicious western food! Sorry for not taking down the name. 

(wan lin: It is Joy Bar!)

                        Best way to spend your afternoon. You can even take a nap here!

                       The Phra Nang beach - suppose to be one of the top 10 most beautiful beaches in the world!

Fourth Day - Back home
au revoir!
