So the story behind this started when Sara started planning a getaway with Chung Wei sometime last year and they decided on a holiday in Krabi. So I thought to myself and realized that Andrew and I never went on a getaway and Krabi sounded fun so I googled for hotels in Krabi & I instantly fell in love! The beach, the resort, and not forgetting their currency in Baht... I was convinced.
We discussed about it and he was sold! So technically, Andrew and I have been anticipating for our getaway since last year and it still seem so surreal that we just came back from Krabi! Nonetheless, both of us needed the getaway & we had so much fun!
Day 1
We arrived Krabi around 1pm and we checked into our hotel, Bhu Nga Thani Resort & Spa. The hotel is located away in Railay Beach and in my opinion, getting in and out of the beach was quite a hassle as the only mode of transport was by boat.

We didn't do much the first day cause we were too late to join any water activities so we walked around Railay Beach and enjoyed the scenery.
Day 2
Andrew and I signed up for a full day package which includes island hopping and snorkelling.

Waiting for our transportation
 In the speedboat.  All aboard!
We found out that the monsoon season usually begins in May and true enough, there were occasional heavy rain throughout the day which means the waves were super strong that let's just say that a few of the passengers were sea sick and one of them was NOT ME. *looks away* :P
 Bamboo Island.  Snorkeling. That's Andrew, btw. And he should thank me eternally for taking such an artistic shot of him. Hehe!
 Phi Phi Lay Island  Mosquito Island   Snorkeling Part 2!
So the island hopping session ended at around 4pm, we proceeded to check into our 2nd hotel around Aonang, Phu Pi Maan Resort and Spa
I have to admit, after an entire day of island hopping, I was beyond tired and all I wanted to do was to order room service, tuck myself in bed and pig out while watching Tangled on TV. But then again, I thought to myself, if I lazed my evening away.. I will never forgive myself when I look back in 10 years.. so yeah.. Andrew and I made our way to Krabi Town and their night market.
   Yummy quail eggs! 
Andrew and I bought a little bit of everything from almost every stall (true story!) and we went back to the hotel to feast!
 Ended day 2 with Chang beer. Bliss. :) |
Day 3
We signed up for a half day kayaking experience. Okay, so the kayaking experience was something I was actually most looking forward to cause I've always wanted to do an activity with Andrew and you know... it can be a test to our teamwork as a couple. *jeng jeng jeng* WHICH, didn't ended very well cause I was mad tired after paddling the raft for 2 minutes. Haha. So Andrew took over the raft while I chucked my paddle away and enjoyed the scenery.

After kayaking, Andrew kept suggesting that we rented a scooter and explore along the Aonang beach. I didn't mind exploring Aonang but what pulled me back was the scooter experience. I mean, as much as I love Andrew with all my life.. the thought of me riding on the scooter with him made me jittery and nervous. What if I fall down midway? Or what if Andrew loses his balance & we topple over? Then my leg will have cuts and scars and I'm gonna be ugly forever! Noooo.. *wails* Okay, drama much! So anywayyyy...
We rented the scooter alright.. And after we strapped on our helmets, we went to explore!

Evening came, we went back to the hotel, freshen up & strolled around Aonang Beach for dinner and massage.
Day 4
Didn't do much cause we had a flight to catch at noon so all we just roamed around Aonang Beach a bit more & we attempted finding Noppharat Thara Beach with just a map. Noppharat Thara Beach was nothing to shout about, but it's definitely cleaner & bigger than Aonang Beach.
Both of us really enjoyed this getaway and we were actually sad that our Krabi getaway has come to an end. I don't think I'll be returning Krabi anytime soon.. but it's really worth heading there & enjoy the simple things in life. It was nice to escape from busy KL and we're very much looking forward to our next getaway.
So where's the next destination? Phuket? Bali? Or Santorini for our honeymoon? We shall see. :)
