Assalaamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh!
*batuk2 sambil meniup habuk di blog*
yaaa tuan2 dan puan2, sudah setahun setengah kita tidak berjumpa...
in fact, this entry is my first entry of the year hahaha *tampar diri sendiri*
Kalian semua sihat ka?
cek minta maaf noh atas kesibukan dan kemalasan cek
sebagai tanda minta maaf cek,
cek nak hadiahkan entry pasal krabi trip cek 3 bulan lepaih
yang mana rasa berguna tu hang ambil lah buat tips noh
Day 1,
my cousin and i went to krabi, thailand
datang sendiri2 je, tak ikut mana2 pakej..baru boleh fefeeling backpackers ahaks
Upon arrival, we searched for a cab, and turned out we need to pay almost 500bath to go to our resort! goshh kalau datang ramai2 takpe jugak, ni datang berdua terasa jugak la mahal dia..tak jadi ambil cab, so we found this transportation counter, and they actually provide a bus to go to aonang with only 150bath per person, so we immediately bought the ticket and rode the bus!
At dusk, we finally arrived at Noppharat Resort alhamdulillah.
we stayed there for 6 days 5 nights!
haha lama sangat ke? nope, for me it's a good number of stay since we went there just to have a good time jalan2 tepi pantai sambil nyanyi lagu hindustan, so tak best la kalau rushing2 kan.
About Noppharat Resort, i find it very comfortable, reasonable, and easy to commute since they provide free shuttle service every 30 mins to go to town. Tho they didn't include our breakfast, we can still eat peacefully without concerning about their 'halal'ness as the resort is owned by a muslim.
Ahh well you can actually find tonnes of budget hotels here in aonang, it's just that when i did my survey, i find it difficult to find a hotel with complete services such as wifi, laundry, airport transfer etc..Noppharat has all the services i want which is why i chose this resort! ohh btw ada sorang worker dia boleh cakap melayu tapi pelat sikit haha

That night, we went to aonang town, naik shuttle.
Turun je kat town terus jumpa this girl, nama dia Inee, read as 'aini'
Haaa Inee ni boleh cakap melayu, melayu klate la tapi, cousin aku ni pernah terbaca kat blog someone pasal dia ni, blog tu recommend dia ni la kalau nak buat apa2 aktiviti sbb dia boleh kasi pakej murah kat orang malaysia. Kedai dia selang satu dua daripada burger king kalau tak silap aku.
So kitorang ni pun apa lagi, terus la ambil pakej 3 hari punya aktiviti kat dia ni haha tamak kan?
Well Inee ni pun bagus layanan dia, siap boleh gurau macam dah 10 tahun kenal hahaha..overall memang puas hati la dengan service dia, kitorang sampai tak survey langsung travel agency lain punya pakej, terus book on the spot kat Inee haa dahsyat tak dahsyat?
Day 2,
Our first activity of the trip, Island hopping (4 islands)
8.30am - Barracuda tour van came to pick us up at the resort
Arrived at barracuda's registration and waiting place
this tour will provide you lunch during the trip, not to mention that the food was all halal and delicious! ada sekali tu dia masak fish cake goreng lepas tu dia letak dalam tray tengah2 panas fuhhh tak sampai 10 min dah licin tray tu haha
The trip continued to the famous phi phi island, maya bay
Ishh seghonok aihh dapat lepak pantai lawa2 gini dengan penuh ketenangan, tho the beach was packed with half-naked people (astaghfirullah sisterrr..*cepat2 pakai shades*), i can still find my own space to enjoy the scenery and captured these precious moments.
That night, we're having a little feast at a decent restaurant, nak celebrate apa tak tau lah, yang pasti we enjoyed the food so much haha alhamdulillah..
tomyam fried rice, seafood fried rice and the wajibul ghunnah tomyam seafood for 2!
tu nampak yang berapi-api tu? haa itu lah tomyam seafood yang dihidang kepada kami ketika masih panas nyum nyumm (haip! lap air liur tu plis)
Day 3,
Our second activity of the trip, Safari Trekking
As usual, the tour van will pick us up at the resort,
First destination, hot spring waterfall!
pehhh memang panas sungguh pun air dia, orang tua2 seronok la kot kalau dapat pergi sini, but for me macam hm hm sikit la sebab panas tu satu hal, pastu kalau kau ada luka2 di badan ke kaki ke yaaahhh tahan lah kau kepedihan dia hahaha
we stayed in the pool for 10 mins anyway haha alang2 dah sampai kan =P
Next, the adventurous mission to go to the emerald and blue pool
kenapa adventurous? sebab kau kena hiking for
800m to go to emerald pool,
plus 800m from emerald pool to blue pool.
Total 1.6km one way, 3.2km return
Haaaa changnan aniyaa kan? kalau rumah aku ni jalan kaki dah boleh pusing satu UIAM dah!
However, it was all worth the effort la of course! the scenery, the work out process, the pool,
it makes you forget your trembling legs when you can see all that with your own eyes
you guys yang muda2 tu should not complain about the distance okay, sbb ramai orang tua2 aku tengok steady je jalan takde stop termengah2 tengah jalan macam kitorang ni haha
i was mesmerized the moment i arrived at the blue pool. This is what i mean by forgetting your tired legs when you can see the blue pool in front of you. Subhanallah!
Eventhough this place only allows you to take pictures, i still have no regrets coming all the way here to see this beautiful pool!
Done with selfies? let's climb down 800m to emerald pool
lega ya ampuunn bila sampai emerald pool ni, finally we got to relax a lil bit, yup a lil bit, because we only had 30 mins left on the clock after we took all the time just to climb up to the blue pool, and we ended up not having enough time to swim here *cried a river*
Third destination, Tiger Cave Temple
Tiger Cave Temple ni macam adik beradik batu caves la, kena naik beribu tangga nak sampai atas.Sampai atas tu best la, view cantik apa semua but sorry yaarr tangga rumah aku pun aku selalu give up nak turun naik apetah lagi tangga kuil ni
Still, dah sampai kan, rugi pulak tak jenjalan tengok..so since my cousin couldn't bear the tiredness from hiking tadi, i wandered around the temple alone, scared, so i approached our travel-mate yang sama2 join tour ni satu van, kot2 la dia bagi aku join depa.
Diorang ni pon takde intention nak panjat kuil tu beribu2 tangga haha..kosserr ah kan, so kitorang panjat forest park ni jela..usha2 gua and tempat meeting para monk sekalian. Itupun dah termengah2 separuh jalan hahaha
To this one sweet couple yang jaga aku time ni, thank you and sorry la for ruining you guys punya sweet moments haha, elok2 tengah dating berdua tak pasal kena jaga lagi sorang ciss.
But seriously, i just can't stop smiling watching this lovebirds taking care of each other, tho they treated each other macam kawan yang lepak2 punya, they called each other 'yang', and the husband took a good care of me too macam dia ensure sepanjang perjalanan tu aku tak tertinggal ke apa ke macam fefeeling responsible la as a man gituu cewahh (relationship goals sangat taw!) btw diorang ni sebaya aku je hm hmm.
Final destination, Elephant trekking!
yaahhh ini dia yang ditunggu-tunggu! aktiviti wajib bila datang thailand.
well kitorang punya elephant trekking ni special sikit, dia bawak masuk air, bukan la masuk air sampai tenggelam apa semua tu tapi dia masuk half badan elephant2 tu dan mereka pun bersuka ria 'memandikan' orang2 yang menaiki mereka...
hahahaha gila oiii basah lencun kitorang dibuatnya! tu laaa nak sangat adventure kan? ha nah ambik ubat! it was fun all the way, dengan elephant show nya, dengan elephant trekking nya, haha such a great experince lah!
That night, kitorang makan kat kedai2 tepi jalan je, insaf nak makan restaurant sebab surprisingly mahal haha..btw 90 percent daripada kedai2 makan ni semua halal, so yeay!
Well makan tepi jalan ni korang kena tahan sikit ajinamoto dia jela..especially bila dia nak grill2 ikan semua tu, i saw it myself dia bubuh a WHOLE pack of ajinamoto kat ikan tu before dia grill. Terlopong sekejap mata dan mulut aku selama beberapa saat.
Done eating dinner, we'll be having krabi's signature dessert which is tadaaaa..BANANA PANCAKE!
yorobunn, i don't know other places but the one they recommended us was this place, ROTEE YAMINLAH namanya, makcik ni boleh cakap melayu, sempat lagi tu bergurau senda dengan customer lelaki melayu di saat orang ramai sedang beratur di depan kedai dia haha
Day 4,
Well hari ketiga ni kitorang pergi Island hopping lagi tapi kali ni 7 islands.
Kitorang pergi pulau2 yang tak termasuk dalam pakej awal2 haritu. So basically aktiviti sama je mandi2 laut etc so i don't really have much stories to share here except phone aku mati dan powerbank tak berfungsi.
Day 5,
haaa..tang ni aku suka! ATV Adventure Ride!
pehhh aku dah lama kot nak main bendalah ni..haritu kat sunway lagoon tak dapat main sebab beratur macam nauzubillah panjang dia huhu
this tour might have the best ATV route in krabi, well for sure i don't know other places, but this one, yaaahhh it was super amazing! the route was super adventurous and it's just crazy to be doing this for one whole hour (next time i'll be taking 2 hours or maybe more heheh)
the tour guide brought us to many exotic places with wonderful backgrounds and we kept stopping to take pictures haha. my cousin's phone was running out of battery, luckily i had my gopro with me despite i kept struggling to take videos sebab gopro stick takde haha sedih kan? (tak percaya boleh tengok video bawah ni)
it was really REALLY fun doing this! rasa macam nak beli satu je main kat rumah hahaha yelaa nak main kat malaysia ni mahal tak berbaloi tu yang rindu gilos nak pergi sini =(
Btw owner dia sangat baik, they even fed us after we're back to the quarter.
I strongly recommend them if you wanna go here! S&V Adventure something (haha sorry can't remember the exact name)
We actually booked them through Inee tadi lah..everything was arranged by her. Nak gajah masuk air ke, nak ATV paling adventure ke, nak buat rafting ke apa2 semua lah.
That night, was a shopping night! haha since it was saturday and diorang ada Krabi Night Market every weekend, so we held back our shopping fund for a week! boleh tahan seksa la jugak nak refrained duit tu sebab kat aonang town pon barang semua best murah cantik!
hoii best rupanya dia punya night market ni! rambang teruks mata aku tengok makanan2 dia!
belum cerita dia punya keramahan terhadap customer
aku berhenti kat satu stall ni dia jual casing iphone, seller dia lelaki thai la, tapi seronok dapat customer melayu islam ni lalu dia pun test power bahasa melayu dia haha
"malaysia?"
"yeah"
"haha, abang, pandayy cakhap malay-yu sikit sikit"
aku pun tersenyum melihat kecomelan abang tu bertutur bahasa melayu, terus rasa nak beli casing dia satu hahaha menjadi tak marketing strategy dia XD

yahhh nasib baik bajet2 bawak duit datang sini kalau tak mau kopak duk membeli tak habis2 haha..in the end i just bought myself few tshirts, snacks and phone casing. Owh haa baju budak2 sini murah satu rm10 beli 2 3 dapat la satu rm8 (err murah ke?)
Actually ada satu lagi benda aku tak cerita, pasal thai massage! pehhh lepas dah lenguh2 buat segala macam aktiviti tu memang heaven gilos la dapat buat spa.
Kitorang tanya kedai Inee tu mana spa yang sesuai untuk muslimah,
sebab most of them main campur laki perempuan lepastu slumber badak je urut depan2 kedai semua orang lalu lalang nampak.
So Inee's friend tu recommend a place yang kedai dia tersorok sikit kat belakang2 and tukang urut semua perempuan so yeah it was a blast!
Nama kedai tu sorry tak ingat, tapi kalau hang jumpa Inee tu tanya jela depa haha.
Sooo overall, Krabi memang superb! daeeebak! no wonder la orang malaysia or honeymoon couples ni like everywhere kat sana
(we met these couples everyday kot sampai dah jadi kawan pon haha)
sememangnya it's a great place to rest your mind and body!
About our travelling budget, we spent around,
RM700+
- air tickets (return)
- accommodation (6d5n)
- all activities mentioned above
- transportation
In other words, korang cuma tambah duit makan dengan shopping je apart from list yang aku bagi ni, well in case you've forgotten, we stayed there for a week! spending that much money for a week punya cerita aku rasa celah mana nak dapat murah mcm ni ye dok?
Haha yelaa some of you might have cheaper packages all around, it's fine by me,
yang pasti the things you're gonna experience here are totally unforgettable and will definitely leave you in awe!
p/s: sorry la majority gambar2 ni semua no filter, yang dah filter masuk instagram semua dah delete haha mianhaeyo~
