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

- December 02, 2015

KLIA2 in the evening

Sawa Dee! We just got back from a year-end holiday to Krabi. What is it like to get a tan while relaxing on the Andaman seabed, surrounded by lush greenery and taking a break 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. Arriving at Krabi Airport nearly at half past five, we booked a two-day trip at the travel agency available that costs THB 4,400 (2 adults, 1 child) for a 4-island day trip and hot-spring waterfall visit with elephant trekking.

I've been told by the taxi driver that took us to Ao Nang that it is more expensive to book the trip at the airport. However, it was the same price 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.

Had our dinner at halal stall just in front of the hotel

On the morning of the second day, my wife presented her paper at the ADVCIT conference located in Deevana Plaza, about a 5-minute walk away. I took this chance to walk around that area looking for the way to the Ao Nang beach. Somehow, Nu'man hesitated to walk further. Interestingly, I found an advertisement for the Muay Thai contest held on Friday evening. Thinking of booking the seats; probably I need to prior check with my wife's interest. Two options are available: THB 1500 for an inner ring seat or THB 1000 for an arena seat.

Musolla is nearby to our hotel.

Small halal stalls along the street with varieties of food.

This is the airport bus I told earlier

In late afternoon, we took tuk-tuk ride to Aonang beach that costs THB 30/person. We spent that evening walking along the beach watching the sunset and stop by the abundant souvenir shop. We had our dinner at Ban Lay seafood Krabi, as recommended by TripAdvisor, and even we made a come back on the final night.
