Start the second day in Krabi! It is very sunny in the morning, opposes to what we have seen on forecast website. My friend used to say that the weather in the south of Thailand is unpredictable, just like Singapore. Well, I agreed with her. However, the forecast website said that it's gonna rain all day, we shall see.
Me and my boyfriend decide to walk to the beach near our hotel which is Ao Nang beach area. The beach is just around 500 meters away from our hotel. On the way to the beach, we see some shops still open, including the some of street foods we had last night!
I am more than ready to the beach!
with Song Teaw (the small red car)
Before I forgot to write about it :
Transportation: options to get around
- You can rent a car like us, it is very cheap because there are 4 of us. It is 666 baht per day with Sixt (http://www.sixtthailand.com). Or if anyone found the better and cheaper, please let me know haha
- You can rent a bike. I saw a lot of foreigners do that, it is like 200 baht per day. And of course, it is easier to get around Ao Nang and nearby area. We did not choose this option because we don't like to ride the bike when it's raining (which you cannot guess when!)
- You can get on Song Teaw, I cannot remember the price but it is normally cheap. You can tell the driver where you want to go. (Ask for the price before you take it to prevent overpriced deal)
And we reached the beach :)
A LOT of shells
If you prefer the soft and white sand, you can go for the island tour. It is super easy to find the tour. I never book with the hotel, it is expensive. There are a lot of tours advertised along the street walk. You can choose where you want to go, and prices are varies depends on types of boats and duration of the tour.
มื้อกลางวันว่าจะไปกินก๋วยเตี๋ยวเรือ หาตั้งนาน google map ก็แล้ว หลงไปหลายรอบ พอเจอ ร้านปิดค่ะ T^T ลืมว่าวันนั้นมันวันอาทิตย์ เลยหา choice ที่สอง ที่จริงเราจะไปหาร้านเด็ดๆในเมืองกระบี่ แต่เวลาไม่เอื้ออำนวย เลยต้องหาร้านอาหารในอ่าวนางแทน ชื่อร้านต้นมะยม มีรีวิวในทริป adviser ว่าดีงาม ตอนแรกคิดว่าอารมณ์ target นักท่องเที่ยว แต่พอไปอาหารอร่อย ต้อนรับดี บรรยากาศร้านกันเอง สรุปว่าชอบค่ะ
For the lunch time, we plan to go to the boat noodle, but the shop is closed because we forgot it is Sunday. So we google for the second option, we found the shop name "Ton Ma Yom" not bad from Trip Adviser. (Actually, I want to find the famous & local thai shop but it is in Krabi Town which we have limited time now). However, I found Ton Ma Yom is nice and cozy as the review said. Oh I miss the slow pace life in Krabi....
Waiting for food

นอนพักที่โรงแรมแล้วออกมาที่ตัวเมืองกระบี่ มาถึงห้าโมงตลาดนัดยังไม่เปิดแถม ฝนตกปรอยๆอีกต่างหาก เดินไปเดินมาเจอวัดวัดนึง สวยอ่ะ จำชื่อไม่ได้แต่สร้างสวยเชียวอยู่บนเนินเลยขึ้นไปไหว้ :)
In the evening, we drive to Krabi Town around 5pm. It is too early for the night market. So, we just walk around the area and found this temple. I was like it is so beautiful, located on the top of the hill.
Now sky is getting dark and it is drizzling.
We did not get to take much photos for the night market because it is raining heavily as the forecast mentioned. But most of the shops are still selling their foods and we bought some. Before we going back, we try the famous (local) roti near Vogue Shopping Mall. There are crispy type and soft type. We choose both and it is super super nice!
they will serve you tea
soft roti
crispy roti
We continue our shopping tonight at Big C instead to buy cheap Thai snacks. You have to drive a bit far from Krabi town to Big C mall. We bought a lot here to bring back to Singapore because snacks in Singapore are not varied as Thai snacks.
It is a cold day, so I just on the warm water in the outdoor bath tub, it is still drizzling outside.
Tomorrow we will go the the famous Thai restaurant in Ao Nang are. :)
