13 / 07 / 2015 A.D.

           Hi Peeps, long time no post here. This post is about my Krabi Trip on 13th of July 2015 A.D. Sorry, I know I post this late on 30th of August 2015 A.D. as I thought I lost my digital camera. I wanted a post with pictures. I finally found the digital camera when my mom packed her bag for another trip elsewhere.

          On the day of the trip to Krabi on 13th of July 2015 A.D, My mom and I woke up early to prepare for the trip. After we got ready, we went near Petir Road to take a cab to Changi Airport Terminal 2. After we reached, we went to look for the flight details on the large panel screen but our flight was not yet displayed. We were anxious and tried to went around to look for details. Eventually, I went to the nearby counter to ask for details. She directed me to the correct gateway / counter. Finally, I use my brain and think that all the tiger airways directs to the same gateway / counter. I quickly asked my mom to go the almost last few gateway / counter near the other end. By the time we walked there, the flight details was shown on the large panel screen.

           As it was the first time we went without my Elder Sister, I was abit blur at the counter but still managed to register ourselves for the flight. After we went into the other side for the flight, we went to grab something to eat and drink. My mom ate Wang's Café set meal while I got myself a Pizzo Pizza and a drink.

          After we eat finished, we got ready to go check in for the flight. I so scarred the alarm sounded when I walk past the sensor that I virtually emptied everything in my pocket. Then the Airport Staff told me to remove my camera on my belt. I unbuckle my belt, it was like quite embarrassing when my pants were loose without the belt to support it.

         Soon, we were on the plane. It was about an hour's of flight. I was so nervous on the plane. The plane suddenly like dropped some levels down the sky towards the end of the flight. Lucky, we landed safely in Krabi.

         Soon, we cleared the customs but forgotten about the luggage. Lucky, when we reached outside, we saw the tour representative, he held a note in the hands showing, " Welcome, Chong Heng Wei ".
I was so happy to see him except for having my name misspelled. I even handshake with him, his name is Mr. Tee.

         I told him that we forgotten our luggage, he quickly speak to the Airport Staff. They allowed me to re-enter the area to collect our luggage. I quickly collect the luggage and went out.

         Mr. Tee directed us to the carpark whereby he will fetch us to the hotel. Along the way, we chatted and he introduced us to some special programmes. We agreed on the price of six thousand plus baht ( Cannot Remember ). It rained quite heavily but we stopped over for a short while to get some drinks at their convenience store. Soon, we reached our hotel, it's name is Pakasai Resort. When we reached, I was so anxious, the hotel staff offered us some drinks. It was very tasty. They asked for my credit card, I was so anxious, but later they calmed me down citing that it will not be deducted unnecessary.

         After we checked into our hotel room, we got ourselves settled down and rest for a while. They gave us Free WiFi, initially I didn't log in but a few days later I tried but cannot log in. After that, we went down to the hotel lobby to wait for Mr. Tee to fetch us to the Krabi City for the first day of programme. But we got the wrong timing as Krabi is slower by one hour to Singapore time. We went back to our hotel room and waited. We went down the second time but Mr. Tee is late. The Tour Executive which Mr. Tee wrote on the itinerary notes came to fetch us instead. We chatted for a while in the car and my mom guessed that she is Mr. Tee's wife and my mom is right. After a while, she suggested a cheap place to eat. She went to fetch Mr. Tee who is waiting for us in Krabi City. My mom and I told them that we wanted to eat at that cheap place where Mr. Tee's wife suggested. Soon, they dropped us there. Upon reaching there, We den know it was hotpot. My mom seems to be abit disappointed. Mr. Tee's wife told us they will fetch us back after our meal at a certain time.

         After our meal at the restaurant, Mr. Tee came to fetch us to the Krabi City for night shopping. We didn't buy much things except for some tibits. Their shopping central at Krabi City closes quite early compared to our shopping at Singapore.

         After our shopping, we were tired and Mr. Tee brought us back to the hotel. We bid goodbye and he says he will come fetch us tml morning.

         This is a comfortable sitting area in the hotel room, how I wish I had this furniture ( It is very good for reading magazines and books ) --->

 
 
        After a while, we rested in the hotel room. I woke up early and asked mom to watch the sunrise with me. She agreed !!!~~~ :O)
 
        Here are the photos --->


Here is mom near the sea ( Picture Above )
 
 
        We were abit disappointed when there is no sunrise. We checked with Mr.Tee the next day, He said got sunset but no sunrise here in Krabi.

        We waited for a while and went for our first day breakfast. The staff there even made a special egg shape for me. I regret not tipping her.

        Here is a picture before we reached the breakfast area ( The Rooster very cute hor ) --->

         After our breakfast, we were ready for our programme. Mr. Tee came to fetch us to the Tiger Cave Temple for Sightseeing around.

          Here are the photo we took --->


          After that, Mr. Tee's wife took over and fetch us to the Hot Spring Waterfall. When we reached there, we were not asked to pay for the entrance tickets as the staff there said that it rained earlier on and the water quality is not good, so that's why they are not charging us.

         We still went in and play with the water for a while. When we are on our way out, Mr. Tee's wife is like walking very fast. Then upon reaching the car, she said she stomachache. We waited for a while and she came back.

          Soon, she fetched us to the Emerald Pool. But upon reaching there, I passed her some medicated oil. She applied some and thanked me. Then we had lunch before going to the Emerald Pool. Unfortunately, it rained heavily soon after. It was a long walk to the Emerald Pool ( About 45 minutes !!! ) After that, she fetched us back to the hotel. :O)

          ( 3rd Day ... 15th of July 2015 A.D. )

          On the 3rd Day, we wake up early and went for breakfast as usual. After breakfast, we went back to our hotel room. Later, we came down to the hotel lobby for that day's special programme. ( We were late !!! ) They came in a mini van and went around some different hotels to fetch a few other people. Our first stop at Ao Nang Beach. After that, we depart from Ao Nang Beach and head for James Bond Island.

         Here are some photos we took at James Bond Island --->






          After our experience at James Bond Island, We went back to the boat. Look at what we saw before arriving at the big ship near Hong Island --->

See people Canoeing near Hong Island ( Picture Above )
 
 
        After our stopover at the big ship near Hong Island, they ferry us to Pan Yi Island for our great and sensational seafood lunch. We went shopping on Pan Yi Island after our lunch. After that, they ferry us back to Ao Nang Beach.
 
        We headed to Lot Yai Cave soon after. Here's some pictures inside the Cave --->

 
 
 
          Here's some interesting pictures outside the Lot Yai Cave --->

            Here's me feeding some doves --->
 
 
          After our fun at Lot Yai Cave, we went back to the mini-van. The tour guide asked us whether we want to go to some Mini Waterfall. She mentioned she received news that the Mini Waterfall might be closed due to bad weather. We voted to go ahead but was disappointed when we reached there and found out it was still closed due to bad weather.
 
         After that, the tour guide fetched us back to our hotel. Only the first stop guest gave the tour guide tips. My mom and I reached our hotel but didn't gave tips ( My mom told me not to give too ).
 
         We ended our 3rd Day trip !!!~~~ Wait Wait Wait, forgot to add in during 2nd & 3rd day, night the time, my mom and I went for full body massage. We gave tips on the 3rd day but commended the 2nd day massage was better.
 
         One thing to add on also, Mr. Tee didn't managed to tell us what time to fetch us to airport tml. However, we later got it settled.
 
         ( 4th Day ... 16th of July 2015 A.D. )
 
         We went for our final day breakfast as usual and got ready for our flight. Mr. Tee's wife came to fetch us to airport. My mom later gave her some tips, the tips could have been better ... My mom commended the service was not so good as we had to wait for Mr. Tee and his wife a couple of times.
 
         After that, we took the flight back to Singapore. This time it was a smooth ride. On the way back home, we took the taxi the time, we chatted with the taxi driver, he mentioned he need to work very hard as his wife got cancer. I felt sad for him. When I reached home the time, I asked my mom whether she got gave tips to the poor Uncle. She said no as they are too many poor people in Singapore, how many can she help.
 
        With this, I shall end my writing here, See you soon. :O)
