Having never been to Krabi before I really did not know what to expect and quite honestly did not even bother to find out what there was to do there. I might have briefly Googled ‘Things to do in Krabi’ but quite honestly did not read much and can’t be bothered to remember the things to do there.
So anyhoo, arrived at Krabi Airport from a wonderfully turbulent ride on AirAsia (gotta love turbulence, keeps things interesting on planes ;) ), got myself a 600baht taxi ride to my hotel at Ao Nang and promptly checked myself in. Staff there was nice, friendly and helpful so everything went off without a hitch.
Should probably warn you guys, picture heavy post. Click to continue reading. :)
The entire hotel area can be considered quite big as it’s not one of those typical skyscraper hotels with lifts at your disposal, I had to make my way to my room in this fun looking vehicle!
Muh ride to muh room.
Obligatory camwhore photo of my plane outfit.
Looking like the biggest fashion faux pas alive with my black crocs & turquoise fluffy track pants. Fluffy track jacket also worn, but unpictured as it was just too damned hot to be wearing it out of a plane.
Nice big fluffy bed ALL to my lonesome!
Everything about the room was nice & clean and there really was no complaint from me! :)
My outdoor balcony.
One of the biggest source of my discomfort, found out the lock of the sliding door wasn’t working properly, told Reception about it and they fixed it for me. So when I came back later that night, opened it and realised that it still had the same problem, and by some great strength miracle I managed to lock the door and promptly never opened it again.
Hotel beach.
Was nice & clean, and again no complaints from me!
Word of advice here, do NOT take the Krabi Town tour no matter what! Though it is cheaper than getting a taxi there, it is not worth it as the van comes and picks you up around 7pm and only picks you up around 9pm+. Let’s just say that the weekend night market is so tiny, that you can finish walking that little tiny area in under 30minutes. Yes, it’s that small! It’s smaller than our local pasar malam!
Iced lollies!
Looks totally fun & cooling! Until I asked what flavour they had.
All they had were, Pepsi, Fanta & Sprite. So in a moment of panic, instead of saying NO, I said SPRITE! And let’s just say that I am NOT a soft drink person, what to do when you paid for something you didn’t want? Eat it anyway, cos you’re too cheap to let it go even though it was only 150baht or possibly less.
Colourful candies I was inclined to buy until…
Miss Cannot-Keep-Hands-To-Herself Child came and ran her dirty little hands all over it.
No candy for Wei Ni. (Insert very disgruntled Wei Ni here).
Pandan roses for sale!
They’ve got these single leaf pandan roses placed all around the hotel room as well to give the room a fresh & natural scent.
What are these wonderful, colourful circles?
Why, they’re piggy banks of course!
Am now a little bummed I did not get these, but I figured that I had no use for them anyways.
Oh, sir! Who are you standing there in the dark looking so blue?
‘Why, I’m a blue figure to be painted on!’ he replied!
While we have our shiny non-moving human figurines down at Bkt. Bintang, Krabi has their own paint me for a fee human figurine! I wonder does he ever take a shower to wash off all that blue paint, what a chore it must be to keep having to paint himself every night!
Batman! I want dis. Nuff’ said.
Can I interest you in some Pad Thai & Friend Mussel?
Unhealthy Fried Ice-cream for MOI!
Yes, I am excited about pharmacies!And after many a long hours, I was finally shipped off back to the hotel! Decided that the night was still young and walked around the area.
Stopped at a bar, bought myself 2 drinks stayed till 11pm and promptly walked back to the hotel. Got early morning island hopping trip, am so not interested in getting up late and having to rush. :) Yes, I know I’m so fun on trips!
Mai Tai & their signature drink.
And that’s about it for this post. Totally delayed I know, but let’s hope I’ll be dedicated enough to get the next one up sometime soon! :)
Till next time!

Been there once but didnt really go round Krabi,Ao Nang or Napporathara Beach..whatever it is called. When I was there, the beach wasnt that pleasant lor.. Smell of PD beach :P
ReplyDeleteAnyways, we spent what..1 night there and went to PhiPhi Island the next. Stayed there 2Ns.. XD
Water was nice and stuff but the resort we stayed in was the one where everyone ran for safety when tsunami hit or something like that. Expensive and dirty + creepy..too far to walk.
Hope you are having fun!!
Hahahaha Thanks Lydia! :)
ReplyDeleteBut actually I went there at the end of September. :P So this post is actually really BACKDATED! Hahahaha But you should totally check out the Ao Nang area, it's actually quite clean. :)
