Krabi Travel

Phi Phi Island tour - July is the raining season in Thailand, that's why there is also low season for travel in Krabi. Luckily the day was sunny while we hang out to the Phi Phi Island. The tour pick us from the Hotel in the early about 9am and drop us at the Ao Nang bay. The speedboat was ready waiting for us when we arrived. The speedboat is power by 3 engine and cater for 30-50 passenger. Due to the low season, our boat is around 30 persons. At first and second spot, we were drop for snorkerling. After snorkerling, we were park at MayaBay. I like the scene at Maya Bay where the beach is clean, here is also full of tourists. Then, we break for buffet lunch at Phi Phi Island. They served spicy Tomyam soup and spaghetti. The last island we went was Bamboo Island, there is a huge white sand beach. We stop about 1 hour at bamboo island and depart to return to Ao Nang. It took around 1 hour more to arrive Ao Nang and the tour agent send us back to Hotel by shuttle Van.

Krabi Night Market - The 1st night market is near to the Krabi caveman traffic light, short distance from the Vogue Shopping Centre. There are mostly Thai food and fruits selling at Krabi Night Market.

Every Friday to Sunday, there will be another night market along the Krabi Town street, next to Vogue Shopping Centre. There are a lot of stuff and foods available as compare to the 1st Krabi Night Market.

Ao Nang Street - We take a walk to Ao Nang street which is about 15 minutes from Aree Tara Resortl. We tried to do some research on next day tour package at Tourist Information centre. Finally we able to get the package cheaper as compare to the offer from Hotel. The tour package is Ao Thalane Kayaking + Elephant Treking, also at 1,000 Thai Bath per pax. But at least we save about 300 TB due to group of 10 pax. Next, we have our dinner at Tanta's Restaurant which was recommend by the tourist information staff. The food at Tanta's Restaurant were really nice but the price was expensive as compare to the Kulakasai seafood. After the dinner, we take a walk at the Ao Nang street, here they have Subway, McDonald's, 7eleven, Starbucks, Swensens and plenty of fast food choices which is convenient to the tourist. May be you should try the local food like banana shake and banana pie at the stall outside the McDonald's streetway.

Krabi caveman traffic light - After dinner, we walk around at the Krabi trademark caveman traffic light and the nearby night market, Vogue Shopping Centre. We also visit to their hypermarket Big C store before return to Hotel.

Ao Nang Aree Tara Resort - We stay at Aree Tara resort in Ao Nang beach, which is only 10 minutes walk to Ao Nang center and shopping area. Aree Tara is a four star modern resort. The room provides elegant and comfort where surround by the lush tropical garden. The delightful garden at the resort gives guest the chance to relax in idyllic poolside location. Due to low season, we only paid around RM340 for 4 days 3 nights stay.
