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.

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

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

Journey Review

Thinking of the same idea as what Zarin did in his wrapping up post, I'll do the same for the sake of my own record. This post will be updated from time to time. Some of the trip may have a specific write-up and you may click on the travelling month. Here is the world travel map, courtesy of TripAdvisor. A bit of Statistics: Total countries visited = 22/195 [Last updated : September 2023] Our Travel Map. [Courtesy of TripAdvisor. According to them, we only covered 13% of the Earth at the moment :P .... still long way to go and we didn't show USA map as to when we will be there]

Indonesia Island Trip. Day 1: Lombok - Gili Terawangan

Sarapan pagi kat airport We had been rotating to visit the Southeast Asia country each year and this is the fourth time visit to Indonesia after Bali (2010), Bukittinggi (2012) and Bandung (2014). Looks like we made a return every 2 years, that's interesting! We may need to consider other countries like Brunei, Philippines or Cambodia in the near future. Three hours later, we arrived Lombok International Airport at noon. We were welcomed by Pak Ibrahim's staff shortly after clearing immigration and collecting our luggage. The weather that day was slightly overcast. En route to Teluk Kodek Port, we stopped at Sukarara Weaving Village. By the time we reached there, it was raining heavily. It is a traditional craft of weaving center located in Lombok West Nusa Tenggara. Not much seen as it felt, we had ayam taliwang for lunch at Taliwang Alam Nyaman restaurant, known for its famous local dish. Alpukat Jus (Avocado Juice) is also a must try whenever you vi...

Singapore Trip: A lion-city escapade

Watch out! It is a zika-free :P trip to the city of light that we had on the 2nd mid-term school holiday, apart from the 'balik kampung' to Ipoh and JB on both week end. My wife managed to secure a stay for 2 nights at the 'Rumah Peranginan Persekutuan' where it supposed to be a big family trip with my siblings. It was a big vacation house, which I believe can cater at least 15-20 people. For some reasons, they had to turn it down. Note: Pictures taken are not in the best quality as I'm still get my hands on the new DSLR camera.. wink.. wink..
