My Krabi Island Trip, Thailand

Remember to pre-order your food with Air asia flight to avoid "out of stock". Also comes with free Spritz water. This trip comes expensive on a Raya Holiday costing RM500/person.
 
Finally we arrived to Krabi Island after an hour flight! We booked Aonang Prince ville Resort about RM200/per night for twins. Our free and easy tour of 4 days 3 nights begins here..... =)


A very luxury rooms with what looks like a king size bed with a bath tub with window.. also suitable for romantic getaway... our resort provide free simple breakfast, salty clean swimming pool and public jacuzzi too... with massage service too..
 
Our resort is located right in front of the seaside.... whole stretch of shops lots nearby.. you can go for beach walk anytime you want but not for swimming though.. the sea did not look too clean to me.. the scenery were very nice though... lots of tuk tuk and taxi around.. make sure you ask for discount because everything here is overpriced... we bought a half day        "4 island" trip for 700 baht/person here too...  

Our "4 Island" trip begins in the morning when the bus arrived at 8:30 to pick us up. Very crowded bus in fact but luckily it was a 15mins drive.. from there we followed our tour guide on a speedy boat and begins our adventures... the boat engine wasn't really working well with lots lots of smoke coming out from it and got "jam" a couple of times.. not very pleasant ride... Anyhow the first island they got rock climbing, beach walk and a story telling activity.
 
This is the story telling part... something interesting... and we proceed with snorkeling next.... the real adventure came! we dive into what clearly seems to be dark colour stained with oil sea... we only manage to see the fishes on the surface.. nothing deeper... until I came up from the sea... my whole body was covered with dots of diesel oil... yes... it's engine diesel oil! Can't believe they brought us to such a dirty sea for snorkeling.. unbelievable! The free lunch that day were kind of like a joke. With the limited variety of fried chicken, green curry, mixed vege we were told each tourist is only allowed to take 2 piece of fried chicken. Luckily we Asian are small eater! =)
 
 
The rest of the island we been to were almost the same... and the water can only be as clear as this as seen on the picture. I am not sure whether we came at the wrong time of the year or maybe it's the wind factor but the sea did not reach my expectation. Even my trip to Redang / Perhentian in my own country is much better =D Somehow we were just glad to be back to our Resort after that to resume our own activity... it seems like the sea activity aren't the biggest attraction in Krabi Island... We found out their Seafood turn our deliciously great and appetising though.. our main turn on in this beach island!
 
The 3 nights we spent in Krabi we had 3 times seafood meals at this "Aonang Seafood Restaurant & Bar Street" place where there are 3 seafood restaurant in it. We are happy with the food here!
 
The first night, we had our dinner at the 2nd restaurant with this boat of seafood as seen. The service here is rather attentive and efficient here and the food is really appetizing. Love their food and service that I end up paying tips. A 5 person meal cost us 1900baht.
 
Fried vege. Not bad try dip in their appetizing chili sauce!
 
 
Grilled fish. The grilled fresh fish tasted so delicious with their sauce! I really love this!
 
And their Grilled Squid.. Also very deliciously done. The nicely done grilled smell is enough to "kill" us all...
 
Green Curry. My brother love this. It's very rich of coconut and although it's called curry doesn't taste spicy at all. I love this when it's mixed with my fragrance thai steam rice =)
 
When you go thailand... you can't miss this. Tom Yam!! So heavenly spicy & appetizing. It keeps our appetite going!
