Krabi Thailand trip (JULY 2018) *super late update*

So, I went to Krabi last July in 2018.

I forgot to check what's the weather/season gonna be like when I was planning this trip.. so turns out it was a monsoon season so there was some rain going on. So, planning 101 = CHECK THE WEATHER!

Anyways, let's start!

Travelling Day

Miri -----> KL (Airasia)

• Reached KLIA
• Checked in the Capsule Hotel for layover
• Refreshed, had dinner at the Family Mart ( Loved the Oden!)

The Capsule Hotel (KLIA2) right next to the bus station

They seperate the bathroom according to the gender (thank god)

The access card for each customer (access card-only entry into the hotel)  and they provide luggage storage/locker for a small fee so you can sleep in peace.

The bed. Not bad I would say. Don't worry if you need a little bit of privacy.. each bed comes with a blind. And oh, bring a pair of earbuds if you are a light sleeper.

There's a mirror and a mini table in the capsule room. (great news for us girls ;p)

The hotel provides free bottled water, toothbrush n toothpaste and a towel. 

Their luggage storage room

The oden we had for a late dinner. Something we dont have here in Sarawak (yet).

The bathroom! It is a little bit small but it will do for a quick shower and girls, they provide hair dryer *wink wink*

DAY 1 (KL ----> KRABI)

• Woke up early to catch the earliest flight to Krabi
• Reached Krabi and grabbed the SIM card at the airport. (Just follow the other tourists because we went to the other stall that has less tourist assuming that the price is the same but it was higher.)
• Rode a van that were just outside the Krabi airport to the Aonang Town (maybe about 30 minutes ride).
• Checked in hotel, refreshed and changed clothes for the photo time!
• Explored the Aonang town and the beach! Don't forget to try out the Pork samurai burger in their McDonald's. (not something you will find in Malaysia's MCD :(..sad )
• Grabbed dinner at one of the seaside restaurant and explored the 7-eleven for the snacks!
• Went back to hotel and rest.

One of the transportation choices available in the Krabi International Aiport.

Happy face!

Literally the first thing we did once we landed in Aonang.

It tastes so good! Don't forget to buy the extra sauce! (Italian sauce if I'm not wrong)

Our very first out of Malaysia trip together!

DAY 2 (Ao Nang)

• Woke up early and met up with the driver at our hotel for our Hong Island hopping.
• Spent half day kayaking, snorkelling and had lunch at the islands.
• Came back to the hotel, refreshed and went to the nearest night market to grab some street foods for dinner.

One of the earliest group to arrive on this beach!

Hong Island (my FAVOURITE island of all)

our simple pad thai dinner with mango sticky rice paired with mango and coconut smoothies!

DAY 3 (Ao nang ----> Koh Phi Phi) *Our favourite place for the whole trip*

• Checked out from our hotel in Ao Nang
• Rode a ferry to Koh Phi Phi in the morning. (about 1.5 hour perhaps, we dozed off )
• Arrived at Koh Phi Phi and got lost while looking for our hotel.There is no bus or taxi in Koh Phi Phi so we have to drag our small luggage across the Koh Phi Phi town to our hotel hahaha. There are some guys with the trolley willing to help you out with a small fees; don't worry moms n dads!
• Stayed at the Baia- Baia Resort which is located on the beach itself! (Note: I went during the low season which means less partying activity going on so I was able to enjoy the calmness of the sea BUT if you guys love yourself some party scene, I'd recommend you guys to book the hotels by the seaside as there are plenty of bars and hotels hosting parties during the high season. We missed the full moon party at the Ibiza pool party by just one day :( but oh well..)
• Checked in hotel and went for a walk around the island where we met a kind local showing us around and even took some instagram worthy pics of us!.
• Hiked to the Koh Phi Phi viewpoint around 20-25 minutes and the view is totally worth the hike.
• Stayed for the sunset at the viewpoint then decided to hike down and grabbed our dinner at the restaurant just in front of our resort. (I missed the pizza and the spaghetti so bad!!!)
• Went back to resort and sleep.

Don't worry if you ran out of the micro SD cards, you can buy it here ;p

This town has it all.

Stumbled upon this cute cat <3

Missed the full moon party here. Do check on their websites for the schedules!

Taken by the kind local.

The stairs that lead to the view point. A lot of stairs.

Gotta pay for the small entrance fee.

The platform overlooking the Koh phi phi view.

My favourite picture here in Koh Phi Phi!!

My favourite photo of us <3 Happy birthday Lilian! She liked this birthday trip that I got for her <3

LOVE LOVE LOVEEEE THE FOODS HERE! 

At the beach.

DAY 4 (Koh Phi Phi ----> Krabi Old Town)

• Checked out from Koh Phi Phi and took a ferry to the Krabi Old Town.
• Arrived at the jetty and took a taxi to our hotel (Siri Krabi Hotel).
• Checked in, refreshed, had our lunch and ready to explore the town!
• Went to the Mud crab sculpture and the Wat Kaew Temple by foot (walking distance from the hotel)
• Went to the only supermarket in the Krabi Old Town.

  Our lunch.. I remembered how spicy it was until I had to order 2 coconut drinks to cool it down.

  

  Reminds me of Langkawi, Malaysia.. lol

  My haul from the supermarket! Oh I crave for the instant noodles right now.

 DAY 5 ( Krabi Old Town)

• Woke up early and find a tuk tuk to bring us to the Tiger Cave Temple.
• Climbed all of the 1,237 staircase to the top of the mountain. The staircases are slippery and kind of steep at certain areas so it would be the best if you hike with the proper gears yea.
• Reached the top and get to see the view and the big Buddha statue.
• Climbed down and back to the krabi town.
• Went to the Krabi weekend night market and grabbed our dinner.
• Went back to hotel and rest.

It was not a sweet climb.

Starting our journey!

Reached the top of the mountain.

View of the mountains.

The biggest Buddha in Krabi.

Got myself a bracelet :)

DAY 6 (Krabi Old Town)

• Woke up early for the 7 Island Hopping tour.
• Spent full day snorkeling, kayaking and had our meals at the beaches and on the boat (I have a severe motion sickness so that was not a great idea. Our boat had to stop in the middle of the sea and serve the dinner because of the bad rainy weather. Took two pills of Maxolon and still doesn't help much. Btw, I personally wouldn't recommend taking the 7 Island tour as they passed by 2-3 islands without stopping but that's up for u guys to decide.)
• Went back to the hotel and rest early to catch up an early flight tomorrow to KL.

The best pad thai we had throughout the entire trip. Operated by an old couple just by the pier.

Meet my best friend, Lilian!

Made new friends from China and Korea (sorry can't find the other group photo)

Passing by one of the island.

Rainy day? No problem!

Day 7 (Krabi ----> KL)

• Booked a taxi to the airport from our hotel.
• Catched an early flight to KL.
• Reached KLIA2 and made our way to our friend's apartment.
• Made our way to Sunway lagoon and did our very first bungee jump and the reverse slingshot (WATCH IT HERE ON MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL https://youtu.be/8mAm-vHgQyY , https://youtu.be/cjkYGSjP1qo)
• Went back to the apartment, had dinner and rest.

Signed this agreement form before bungee jump and the slingshot.

The view from the suspension bridge

Little did we know...

She was happy..until she jumped. 

Yeah I did it guys! YOLO!

Day 8 (KL) 

• Woke up and had our breakfast/lunch at the Jogoya Buffet Restaurant at the Starhill Gallery in Kuala Lumpur while waiting for our flight.
• Boarded the flight back to Miri.
• Trip ends.

This was my fifth visit to the buffet. Jogoya, please sponsor me lol.

So this is the end, guys! Feel free to refer this post as ur guide and drop the comments! Byes!
