Krabi part 2

i'm getting lazy day by day... but i have to fullfil my promise to complete the story about our trip.so, here comes more pictures... enjoice!
the next day, we boost up our energy with simple breakfast at aonang buri restaurant.then, we waited for our tourist guide to come pick us up at the hotel.not too long after that, they came with a bus...which is an open-aired bus..lori yg diubahsuai jadi bas.
this is us on the bus with other members on the same boat
15mins later we arrived at the jetty.well, not so much of a jetty...a place where all the boats load the passenger.sampai2 kat situ,nmpk a few thai people with big cameras taking our picture.macam gaya paparazzi...i wonder why.than emirr said that, they're gonna sell it to us later when we come back.i'm not sure i believe that but,it's true. when we came back from the sea, they open a table an into my surprise, our picture was there..with a nice sand-made frame and our picture was also nicely taken. they sell it for 100baht approximately rm10. so, i thought ..let's buy it.we're not gonna develope our tons of pictures straight away anyway.it's nice to see a real proof of us there in hand to bring back home.
anyway, we got into our boat,named Beluga.i don't have any idea what that means.this is me on the boat. a good seat in front of the boat with a nice view 360degree ;) it took us around 50mins to arrive at the main area for the day...50mins in boat ride, wass not easy for me
our 1st stop was Koh Mai Pai island. we did a little swimming and snorkeling.but nothing really catched our eyes, because we're afraid to go deeper...saya cautious bila kaki tak jejak tanah...huhuhuh
that's my handsome guy and our boat
prior leaving Koh Mai Pai island..isn't it beautiful?? the water...
our next stop was The Viking Cave,from which there is a thriving bird's nest soup industry
The Viking Cave... making our way to our most awaited spot... i miss the water already :( so, guys... this is Maya Bay. remember Leornado De Caprio starring in the movie The Beach. this is where it took place.the water was heavenly gorgeous,the sand was soft and the big gigantic rocks was just nice in place. Mr & Mrs Emirr at Maya Bay. i was beginning to feel sick at this point. the boat was too fast making its way through the big wave..making me felt dizzy and fyi, i did throw up somewhere by the bush at maya bay... yerp,i leave my mark there,alright... but, it didn't ruin my mood at all. after that, i felt better and ready to get to the next check point.luckily, it was lunch time.lunch was included in the package so we don't have to pay a penny. the lunch was superb.after throwing up, the appetite grow plus it was my favourite menu. Seafood tom yam,mix vegies, spagetti,fried fish with lemon and some more i forgot. we ate together with other member like a family. the Thai people were so nice, they help served us..maybe they saw this serabut lady with pale face was not feeling very well..hahhaha.. after lunch, mesmerized by the beauty of phi phi don a very nice place for lunch... after some refreshment, at around 130pm we continued our mission.it was again snorkeling.this time, it was more fun...why? just look at these pictures... me...even i can't land my foot on the anything,i felt secured enough to play in the water. the fishes are too cute to resist...they are like thousands of them and they're not afraid of me.i can't find nemo by the way.. :D emirr is actually afraid of the small fishes..can u see the distance between the fishes and him??he said,they bite him!! ada patut??... remember i told you about buying the instant underwater camera.well,turn out i manage to get my hands on the underwater digital camera casing for rm98 on that wednesday.so here are some of the pictures taken underwater... mirr and a fish :D him & 2fishes... the coral was just so stunningly beautiful.i've snorkeled in japan before but i must say, this is more.i stepped on one of the big coral and the colour of the creatures in the water amazed me to the max!
after that... the dizziness was back to haunt me. i got into the boat and laid down covering my-already-burned face from the sun and try to ease the spinning inside my head.not long after, they all move to the next spot, Monkey island for another snorkeling activities. emirr went down into the water.i heard somebody said they found nemo, but i just can't bring myself up. i'm far from able to stand. i tried to but then i felt like throwing up again. this time in the middle of the sea where people are having a fun time down there..i don't dare throwing something from inside me there...so, i laid back down and somehow able to sleep... :)
monkey island was our last stop. we make our way back and by that time i was feeling a lot better. they served us with fresh local fruits like watermelon and pineapple.i felt relieved... i ate a lot of fruits.then,they treat us with cakes and juices.there's also soft drinks and water. you can have anything.it was all included in the package... nice rite?
the trip was awesome except for the fact that i don't feel good on and off.a 900baht per person(rm90) package is a good deal. with 50mins return tickets for boat ride+lunch+refreshment on boat+snorkeling equipment+guide+many stops to nice places that some i can't even remember=a very beautiful journey and unforgettable experience(including the throwing up part too).
that is why, we planned to visit again,someday...along with rayyan insyaAllah :D
that night, we had a long walk to aonang town. i think about 3~4km.did some sovenir shopping.balik tak larat nak jalan, so we took a mini tuk-tuk( a taxi) there. mcm beca cuma bukan dengan basikal,tp motorsikal..hehehe..
we reached our room at 130am..and sailed to our dreamland. we don't wanna miss our flight tomorrow...hehehhe
the next morning, we had our last morning meal with the eye catching beach view.at 930am sharp, our driver arrived to pick us up for the airport.we booked the taxi with the same travel agency masa buat arragement for the island hopping.senang.pulak tu,same driver yg amek kami dari airport masa sampai arituh.he was very nice.kat sana teksi sume cantek2..toyota altis mostly.pastu derang suka tekan honk... hihihih.
nih la teksi dan driver kami ;)
last picture at Nopparat beach
our flight back home..babaiii krabi.see you again, insyaAllah~
we had a good time spoiling ourselves surrounded by mother nature and experience different things in other country. we just love travelling. eventhough we call it, " Bimbou ryokou" (cheap travel), we really had a nice time together.
there you go... hope i somehow trigger some of you to experience the calming nature and adventures activities offered there. it was really a memorable experience for both of us. maybe you all should try it too someday ;)
lps nih cuti2 malaysia pulak lah...
p/s: asek cerita pasal mommy & daddy.lps nih cotcet pasal rayyan pulak... rindu rayyan kat blog nih ;) ~ back to normal routine~

Krabi part 1

work is killing me rite now, and the fact that i don't have the time to update this chamber is also killing me at the same time... yesterday i arrived home at 10pm.that's a record! hehehe... so, let me wrap up all the stories along with some pictures... quickly and as brief as possible..(yeke??)enjoice! 21st may 2009 as i mention before our trip started on 21st may~24th may...yeah,it supposed to be that way.tp apakan daya, kita merancang Allah menentukan. we stumbled upon some trouble at the check in counter.apparently, the expiry date on emirr's passport is less 6months from the date we want to depart.i didn't even know there's even a rule about that. kalau camtuh,baik xyah tulis expiry date ..knp mesti expired 6bulan sblm drpd tarikh sahlaku yg sebenar? xpaham betul.selama duduk 4~5thn ulang alik keluar masuk msia nih, xpernah kena..uishh..mmg menduga betul.mommy was trying her very best to think on the positive side and not let the anger burst..(muka dah monyok ,muncung pon dah panjang sbnrnya...)bukan salah daddy.kalau kena batang hidung mommy sendiri pon,xleh nk salahkan sesape.citer kat ida, tergolek2 dia gelak.ini lagi teruk dr kes kena tinggal flight sblm balik for good dulu...cett.peringatan pasal menda ni,ada tulis dlm buku passport tu,tp cinonet jer note dia.hampeh.so, utk peringatan kawan yg nk keluar negara,sila pastikan passport anda lebih drpd 6bulan drpd tarikh expired. so, no... we didn't walk by the beach on that thursday evening. we didn't woke up lazing and wasting time lepak2... instead, that evening, to cheer his (merajuk) beautiful wife,emirr took me to the movie to watch ' I Love You Man' . it's a great movie.full of comedy. mmg berbaloi la tgk. penat gelak dgn lawak yg mostly xsesuai utk remaja bawah umur dan kanak2.after that, he offered to treat me anywhere for dinner and i chose,mana lagiii.. 'Sushi Zanmai'.. my favourite place! makan sushi,soba, gyouza...clap3(the smile is finally back on my face). evetho we didn't make it to the resort that day, i must say that a day spent wisely in msia (trick nk pujuk hati bini) isn't that bad after all..of course, we've settled the passport matter straight after being 'kicked out' from lcct.seb baik bole siap satu hari... lps tu sempat jugak pergi amek kad touch n go utk rumah baru.ada hikmah sebenarnya kan2? okay, habis kisah hari pertama honeymoon kami :D best kan? 22nd may 2009
before leaving.relax jer rayyan nk kena tinggal the nite before, we've made plans for our 3days 2nites trip.this time,we have to squeeze our activities into the time that's left.we reached lcct at 1030am.our flight was at 1205pm.

reached krabi airport at 12:25(1:25pm msia). the airport was small but nice. not too many people.just us from AK804 flight. went to the taxi counter after claiming our baggage and straight away headed to the resort.on the way, we asked the taxi driver where to buy boat tickets and so on.later, we made a brief stop at one of the travel agency to make our island trip arrangement.

we chose;
  1. 4 islands by long tail boat (22nd may, 2:30pm~5:00pm) 1800baht for 2person
  2. phi phi islands by speedboat (23rd may, 8:30am~4:30pm) 1800baht for 2person

we left the agency at 1:30pm and our 1st island hopping was scheduled at 2:30pm. hehehe.. 1:45pm sampai kat hotel.

bilik kami di tingkat tiga (304)
letak beg terus segar2kan muka, solat and makan burger tapau dr McD Lcct. pkl 2:30pm tepat kami dah turun bawah. driver kami dah sampai. fyi, the Nopparat Beach is just accross our hotel.lintas jalan terus jumpa pantai.dr bilik hotel pon leh nmpk laut.sgt kimochii...

kami dgn semangatnya pon ikut la pakcik driver tu.tiba2 dia lintas jalan,lps tu gi pantai...kami dah pelik jer...rupa2nyer kereta pakcik tu parking kat pantai..hehehe.sungguh adventure.kena meredah pantai nk sampai ke long tail boat pakcik tu.tp seronok + jakun! hehehe..boat kami yg belah kanan sekali tu.. baik punya parking

bertolak la kami dengan sampan panjang yg ada enjin menuju ke Laut Andaman.this is our first time exploring andaman sea.cantekk..kanan kiri penuh pulau..destinasi pertama kami ialah chicken island. kenapa chicken island? sbb mmg batu kat situ rupanya mcam ayam.ada kepala n badan.

punyalah berangan sampai xsedar salah eja chicken...hahahah..pedulikkan
kemudian kami ke Tub island.jalan2 atas pasir yg lembut dgn kiri kanan ada pantai...cantikknyer mak aihh! ada juga org berenang2, tp kami xplan nak berenang that day. nk jalan2 amek gmbr jer.simpan tenaga utk esok pulak
bagi ikan comel makan roti.. xnampak ikan sbb warnanya sama dgn warna pasir

next, Poda island. pertama kali menjejakkan kaki kat Poda island nih, yg meniggalkan kesan di hati kami ialah pasirnya yg sangat2 lembut.seriuss!

yang kat belakang tu kalau xsilap itu la phra nang cave...

pkl 5:00pm kami bertolak pulang.sekali lagi,kena redah pantai nk sampai ke hotel...best2!

our chartered boat

that nite, we had a fine dinner at aonang buri restaurant. ordered some nice thai food.i'm a big fan of thai food. tak igt nama menu, but u can look at the pictures.we had chilli fish,shrimp salad and mix vegie...each with different taste that makes me more in love with thai food.

kami tergelak bila waiter tu serve nasi bentuk hati ni.mmg honeymoon mood betul

the drinks was also different. i had a lime juice n emirr oredered orange juice.lime juice ada rasa masin2+manis+masam=sedapp, emirr's orange juice was actually made from buah limau yg buat mkn mcm jual kat pasar malam tu...tp bila buat juice,sedapp pulak rasanyer...orange juice pulau! hihihi

dah selesaii..bukan saya makan sorang yerr ;)

lepas makan,kami jalan ke bandar aonang..halfway jer sbb xlarat.lagipon esoknyer full day penuh aktiviti...

to be continue...

p/s: sorry kalau ada ayat yg belit2. xlarat pk nk buat ayat skema

~yang masih dalam mood pulau~
