Krabi Getaway - Day 3 & 4.

Back to blogging on day 3 & 4(last day)  in Krabi!
Day 3 - Booked an island tour to Hong Island (also known as Koh Hong), basically this is the island that we came Krabi for. Very excited because I read so much about it on the internet! Heh.

Off topic : WHAT I JUST SAW ON INSTAGRAM. 男神 was there!!! FML why didn't I met any stars/hot guys when I was there, I, by here demand a refund lol. I'm now actually having a scenario in my head that I met him there and what should I say to him... mmmm..... O.o probably gone too far gurl. 


Well, Koh Hong is located further away from most of the islands, it took us roughly 45 mins of tuktuk ride and 5 mins of speedboat there.  But firstly, we were brought to this newly form island, Pakbia Island. It's quite interesting because on the left side : it is the blue ocean, sunny-side up while the right side : it is more on a shady calm side which I prefer more.










On our speedboat to another destination...


Koh Hong's Lagoon aka 世外桃源. 
A tour of the 'room with a view' with sea lake, wonderfully surrounded by limestone cliffs. 

I'm sorry because my photography skills with the camera I'm using certainly can't do any justice but honestly you need to experience yourselves this unique feeling really / zero distance with Mother Nature. For people who love nature, I think you will enjoy this a lot. :)


and finally, we had arrived!
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful Hong Island. Water is crystal clear as expected, in fact it is TURQUOISE in colour, no, I did not add any filters. Yeah, I could just stay there FOREVER. 






We get to see nemo, dora and tiger fishes here!! Tiger fishes are everywhere, you will be flooded by them once you feed them with small pieces of bread, for nemo and dora, you need to snorkel to further up. 

While we were having our own time of our life dipping in the turquoise seas, suddenly there were people shouting from far to me(not sure it's to me that time) : ni hao hello! I was like huh??!? Then I saw something on the surface of the water slowly moving near. I quickly shouted when I found out it is a very huge ginormous monitor lizard that literally looks like a crocodile/snake. It was damn scary and everyone including me was trying to swim away quickly from it. It was just like right behind to me, *goosebump! 


Back to hotel at 4ish pm. At night, we had dinner at one of the seafood restaurants along Aonang street, not sure about the name and not really recommand this place because food was just average but they have the most presentative Thai pineapple fried rice. Haha.
Green curry and tomyam kong.


It was just another night we chilled and walked along the street, enjoying the last few moments in Krabi! 

Day 4 is an early one for us again because our flight is at 725am. 
Lucky us that we found 3 of other travellers also finding transport to airport early in the morning the day before and eventually we shared a van. It was RM12/person, we get to save up on transport again! Fyi, it's RM60 for a van to airport.

Goodbye once again to a beach vacay! Anticipating to the next ones. :)

Overall, this trip is rather an adventure one, because we were so exhausted everyday back from island hopping.
Yet again, happy 3rd anni!

Krabi Getaway - Day 2.


While blogging this entry, K is away on vacay to Gold Coast, this makes me miss him extra more :(. The worst part is we are in different time zone, when I'm done with dinner, he already gone to sleep. Well, thank God that he's only on vacay but not for further studies lol.


Back to topic! Entry about Krabi Day 2. 
Woke up early to a brand new day! We are going to island hopping on day 2, the phi phi island tour. I'm definitely not a morning person as K keeps buzzing me to wake up, damn irritating I swear hahaha. We prepared and go for our hotel breakfast at 730am. My eyes instantly sparkles, so many of my favourites!! Definitely the best thing to be waking up to.  


We waited for the tour van to fetch us from hotel lobby at 830am. Departed from Aonang beach and off we go to island hopping! The seas was choppy that day, I wasn't aware of it, so I didn't prepare any meds.

The first stop was Riley Bay for snorkeling! It was my very first time to snorkel! Wasn't really prepared as I didn't know they arranged to snorkel first, and I didn't know how to use the snorkel gear!! It was quite a scary experience as I felt so verdant, worst part is the bottom is endless, insecurities. After 30mins of 'trying to snorkel', I was feeling totally under the weather with super pale face. It was damn embarassing hahaa. Thanks to the family sitting opp me gave me some meds to cure my seasick-ness and another very helpful lady helped me to massage a bit to make me feel better. Thankful for them!!

Still able to pose for the camera haha. 


Next, Mayabay. VERY BEAUTIFUL BAY!!!!! I honestly like it here the most and the scenery is just...magical. Bright blue skies, blue seas.

but the perfect scene never lasted too long as it was SO FREAKING CROWDED. All the tourists and speedboats already blocked the beautiful scenery, cons of going on vacay on December. :( 

this is my expression for the crowds lol.
Nonetheless, we entertained ourselves in the best way.. hahaa.
:*




We settled our lunch at Phi Phi Don island, it was included in the tour package. Nothing much I'd eaten as I was just recovered form seasick. :(


:*



After that we headed to Bamboo Island!!
Another very beautiful beach!! We decided to just chillax instead of exploring around. Therefore, both of us instantly started searching for a good spot, settled down, sat back and relax. Let the sea breeze blow across our faces... We were chit-chatting and slowly we just fell asleep, best feelings ever!! I miss it so much now as we just lying on the beach, ain't worrying about nothing, it was so so so relaxing and worth it!

Spot the bikini and bottom??! Hahahha it's ours lol!


The sand texture is so so so fine, I described it as 牛奶粉 Haha.
Look at the colour gradient of the sea, from dark blue to turquoise, light turquoise to almost white, gorgeous! 
Of course I must take a few shots in front of this gorg view!







K's so good at capturing my unglam moments, like seriously he will wait until I do smth funny haha.
The parallel universe.
Look at the crystal clear water!!!!
A photo of us to bid adious to Bamboo Island!
Long-tailed boat.
Super adorbs angmo kia in the same speedboat as us, damn cute!! The one that the white angmo kia hugging is another asian kid, they just met each others and start hugging and playing tgt, awwww!

Back to hotels after that and we couldn't bliv that how tired we are, no wonder the street is so quiet at night cus most ppl were damn exhausted from island hopping. Indeed, the street is not as happening as Koh Samui 's, even the pubs close at 12ish. :/

We were damn exhausted to the extend that we skipped dinner and slept until 10pm hahahaha, damn are we even humans?! After that we went to nearby minimart with our pjs and bought heck lotsa of cup noodles and enjoy overselves. Missing night like this! :") 

Gonna blog day 3&4 in another entry and that's the end. Hopefully there's a video!
