Owh My Krabi...
Getting to Krabi...Getting back...while spending my time looking at the pictures, I find myself attached to this place more than ever! The moment I dipped my foot into the softy sands, and look over the crystal clear sea, I just knew that this is exactly where I want to be! I belong here, to witness the miracles of Gods, something so enchanted, untouched and content.
Unlike the hectic life we faced in the city, Krabi is a simple town with easy traffic, uncongested, very much of laid-back activities made especially for us, the tourist. 70% of the economy is sustained from the tourism industry. Most of the people earn incomes from, the boats, other local transports (tut-tut), food stalls, even Thai Massage, farmers, and perhaps around 30% belongs to the upper-class level, which are having their own hotels businesses, restaurants, shops etc.

Island Hope
For those who love water like me and never get out from it, you can enjoy Island Hoping which cost you about RM100 - 120 per person, depending on how you can bargain on the package. We took a package from Island paradise, and we paid 1200 Baht per person including a lunch in Phi Phi Don. The itinerary will be basically like this:-
This, the Maya Bay |
9.30 Arrive at the pier
10.00 Hop onto the boat!
10.30 Snorkelling, Maya Bay, Viking Cave, Phi Phi (Lunch)
2.30 Bamboo Island
4.30 Arrival back
Food
Good food is one of the most important activities when you go for holiday. There are just many and plenty of them along the Aonang centre. Thailand is known for its famous Tom Yam and other spicy food like those we ate in Malaysia. Is just that the taste is much more original and pure when you eat in Thailand itself! For Muslim I recommend you go to go to Chaba Thai Restaurant, a Muslim owned that serves the best Tom Yam with variety of other choices and western foods as well. However, you do not have to worry so much on the halal food since there are many Muslim hawkers along the street.

Talent One |
The long stretch of Aonang night market offers more than just anything you may look for. There are handcrafts, paintings, arches, pearls, silks, décors, apparels, swimwear and so many other kinds of souvenirs for you to bring back. The next time I go, I’ll make sure I’ll grab one of the paintings.
Missed one
Hmm one of the things that I've missed to do is to join the activity on the inland. From what I understand, the tour includes Elephant Trekking, swimming in the Emerald hidden pool and enjoys the hot stream waterfalls...
Sweet goodbye...
Remembering all the good times that I had, I would say Krabi is a great place to visit not just for honeymooners, but it is also good place to spend your quality time with the family. You could discover so many wonderful things you could do together with your family, by exploring the beauty of the Island by itself. It is a place of relax and easy, secluded, good enough for you to experience a life of an Islander.
