Southern Thailand Trip. Day 4-5: Krabi

The Natural hot spring Next on the second day of the itinerary was the Krabi natural hot spring located at Amphoe Khlong Thom, It was about 70 km from Ao Nang city center. The hot spring mineral waterfall comes down from the nearby mountain and there are many hollowed-out 'bathtubs' which are caused by the running water from the thermal springs. We were given 20 minutes and took a chance soaked in the hot spring.

Southern Thailand Trip. Day 3: Four Islands

Our long-tail boat number 15 We visited Phuket back in 2011, where we had an island hopping tour to Phi Phi and Phanga Bay. Phi Phi island is the most beautiful island in Andaman -- which I would highly recommend, depart either from Krabi or Phuket. So, this time around, we decided to get only one day of island trip, which is the 4 island trip. This full-day tour cruised on a traditional long-tail boat to 4 beautiful small islands near Railay beach. Swimming, snorkeling, sunbathing, and photography  the main activities to enjoy along the trip guided by Shai, Alex, Momo and Tata.

Southern Thailand Trip. Day 1-2: Ao Nang Beach

KLIA2 in the evening Sawa Dee ! We just got back from a year-end holiday to Krabi. What is it like to get tanned over the Andaman seabed or lush with greenery respite from the sun? Well, we will share our way of doing things. That day, it was bright. The AirAsia outbound flight departed as scheduled in the evening. Arrived at Krabi Airport nearly half past five, we booked a two-day trip at the travel agency available that costs THB 4,400 (2 adults, 1 child) for 4-islands day trip and hot-spring waterfall visit with elephant trekking. I've been told by the taxi driver that took us to Ao Nang, it is more expensive to book the trip at the airport. However, it was the same prices upon checking with abundant local agencies in Ao Nang. Anyway, the private transfer from the airport to Ao Nang costs us THB 600, and there is an option of a bus-ride for THB 150/person.
