Thailand - Krabi Trip Day 3
we have to wake up extremely early for today as there's island hopping for us. haha. so excited. we woke up at before 7am (thai time) and went down to have our breakfast.
they have different variety of food for today!! but we didn't take alot. and this time round i ordered correctly, 4 scramble eggs!!! xD
day 3 breakfast
individual shot with our FOODS xD
and a group shot.
LET'S EAT!!!
we went back up to our room to rest and wait for 8.30am (thai time). we purposely stayed inside the room until the guide called and rushed us down to the lobby to gather. lol. anyway, it's so nice that the reception actually provided us with towel. haha.
collected our blue towel and off we go to the mini bus. anyway, there's a group of Malaysian tourists and one indian couple together with us for the 4-islands hopping tour.
yeah.. and that's our mini bus that will be driving us to the Long Tail Boat Service.
inside the bus.. and off we go!!
REACHED: Ao Nang Long Tail Boat Service Cooperative.
and we have to walk a very short distance to the beach. and yeah, not a very clean beach. the water is so muddy and dark. looked like some dirty water xD
the beach!!
and finally we reached!! lol. and have a look on our Long Tail Boat. haha. yes, this was what we booked through the travel agency. we were so budget that we decided to save $20 and go for the Long Tail Boat (S$10) instead of the Speed Boat (S$30)!!
anyway, i'm super okay with our Long Tail Boat. lol. hey, at least i got to experience and know how it feels like to be in a not-so-good boat. Speed boat we can take it anytime in Singapore loh.
all the other boats!!
and yes.. that's our Long Tail Boat!!
and before we stepped into the super muddy water.
and next, we have to step into the water barefooted. omg, i felt so yucky at first. walked a little distance to where the boat is, and climbed the ladder up to the boat.
walking towards the boat.
MUDDY WATER =.='''
and people have to help to pull the boat over and the wave was quite big.
and those are the other people who will be in the same boat as us xD
and for our safety purpose, we were all forced to wear the life jacket the moment we stepped into the boat. and our first island will be at Poda Island, it's an hour of boat ride to reach there. Ginnette slept the moment the boat started as she has sea-sickness. while Fazillah and me totally enjoyed the boat ride.
i like it when it goes up and down, up and down. i'm like on a pirate ship or what. lol. just that, the sea water kept splashing in to us, making us half wet. and the water is so salty!!!
and it's so funny that we haven't even go down to the water, our shirts were already all wet!!
from dry...
and slowly getting wet.
reached Poda Island at 10.30am (thai time). YEAH!! slowly climbed dowm the ladder, and the water were actually at our waist level. lol. my FBT totally soaked wet. Xue Ni and Ginnette had to hold their bags super high up a there's camera inside... especially Xue Ni's DSLR.
found a shelter hut to hang our clothes for it to dry. and thanks to our guide who is willing to help us look after our things!
anyway, the sea water was super blue and clear, as compared to the muddy water just now. this is totally more heavenly!!! and i'm going to spam our Poda Island beach photos!!!
individual beach shot!!
and group beach shot.
love our wrap-wrap!
oh well, Xue Ni suddenly don't want to be inside the photo, and she volunteered to be our photographer!! haha. how nice!~ with her superb DSLR!!!
Fazillah is slowly washed away by the wave!! lol
@ Poda Island
Tsunami Hazard Zone.
and that's the end of our Poda Island tour. packed our stuffs and back to the boat, getting ready for our second island, which was the Chicken Island.
there's actually no activity to do in Chicken Island, and so they only stopped in the middle of the sea to let us take picture of it. it's just 15 mintues from Poda Island to Chicken Island.
can you see the Chicken head popping up?!
a picture taken with the Chicken Island on the boat.
anyway, the third island tour was cancelled due to some reason. if i'm not wrong, the wave and current there was super strong that we're unable to go over there. what a waste!
and so, good bye to the Chicken Island and they stopped in the middle of nowhere to let us go for snorkeling. the guide showed us how to feed the fishes there. and there's so so so many of the yellow fishes there. haha
and yeah.. SNORKEL TIME!!! so hard ro wear the mask. lol. and the tube thingy for us to breathe inside water. considered for quite long whether to bite that thing, and finally.. once, twice, thrice.....whatever.. just bite lah.. (don't know how many people bite that thing before, they got clean properly anot?! hmm....)
Ready. Steady. Pom Beep Beep.
and down we go!!!
by the way, it's not easy to swim with the life jacket around you. i was slowly drifted further and further away from the boat, and i'm had a very hard time swimming and pushing myself back. no matter how hard i pushed the water, i got a feeling i'm still at the same spot =.=''
anyway, i managed to push myself back to near the boat. haha
so nice to be floating in the middle of the sea.
and having fishes swimming around you!! haha
time to go back after that. i had a hard time climbing up to the ladder because the strong current made the boat very unbalance. the boat went left and right and i couldn't reached the ladder at all.
in the end, i followed Xue Ni's method and kneeled on the ladder to force the boat down. pain you know!! blue-black already =/
and when everyone was back on the boat, we then proceed with our 4th and last island tour for the day. another 20 minutes to reach our last island, Tup Island!
we'll be having our lunch on the island, and ya~ lunch was provided by them as well xD
pardon me for spamming photos ahead!!! ENJOY!~ Tup Island photos!!!
my first ever friend in Sec 1.
FLY!! wrap-wrap fly!!
Sisters!!~
CANDILICIOUS WAS HERE!!
SO SWEET!!~
trying to act out the feel of wedding gown. xD
love the water!!
poor jellyfish being washed up on shore.
dead or alive?!
beautiful cloud
(reminds me of Lisa's chinese name =X)
super clear water!!
and there's actually a so-called pathway that can linked to the other side. it was said that the pathway can be seen when there's low tide, and we can walked across to the other side.
well, anyway the water level is still at acceptable level and many people was making their way there, so Fazillah, Ginnette and me decided to follow and slowly walked over there. Xue Ni stayed on shore sun-tanning =X
crossing over!!
haha. and there's jelly fish invading the sea. i felt so adventurous and thrilling. so afraid the jellyfish might get near me and sting me, and then i got paralyse down there. haha.
and so the 3 of us, one looked left, one looked right, one looked front. looking out for pink colour thing appearing on the sea. once spotted, we either walked quickly, or stopped down there. lol. very fun right?
we made it to the other side safe and sound. lol. while making our way back, someone just carried the jellyfish up. he claimed that it's not dangerous, and so we went ahead and touched it. it's like once in a life time. so slimy and soft xD
walked slowly back to the shore, and it's about time to set off back to Ao Nang. and that's the end of our 4-islands hopping tour. awww!! i'm gonna missed all the island!! last chance taking the up & down Long Tail Boat.
by the time we were back in Ao Nang, it was already low tide, the place supposed to be filled with water ended up with mud-like-sand. so muddy and each steps we took will leave a super deep footprint behind. ewww! imagine my whole feet went into the mud =S ahhh, i want to wash my feet!!
displaying our photos.
and they actually took our picture without us knowing, and framed it up to sell. they set up a table at the beach displaying all our photos. selling at 100 baht each.
the photo so not nicely taken loh. they should have informed us earlier, then i would have pose for them to take. hahaha. anyway, we have no choice but to buy it. i don't know what will happen to my photo if i didn't buy it?! and why must they took 2 of my photos?! forced me to spend 200 baht on it LOL
anyway, our whole boat of people all bought their individual photo although some were complaining that their face was taken so ugly LOL!~
board the mini bus back to our resort. Xue Ni and me straight did laundry at our room, washing our clothes, pants, wrap-wrap and swimming costume. dry it at our balcony and then went to bath, spammed my hair with conditional. lol. and the water dripped down from my head, all salty one =/
gathered at Ginnette's room and position ourselves at the balcony. photo-taking hotspot xD
posed at the balcony xD
an out-of-shape heard shape =D
time to go out to hunt for food! since this will be our last day in Krabi and so we have decided to pamper ourselves with good food. BIG FEAST!!
we have decided to dine in at La Casa Traditional Italian & Thai Cuisine. time to spend all the money, whatever we felt like eating, we buy!!!
the menu

we spotted Singapore 2 dollars xD

and just right after we finished eating, we went out and looked for other restaurant for dessert. lol. we were really good in eating xD
@
Ristorante La Luna
our dessert!!
Fazillah with her Banana Split, Ginnette and me bought Tiramisu.
group shot
after that, did a last minute shopping for souvenirs for my friends and colleagues. and then quickly went back to our resort. they booked for body massage again. lol.
and of couse, not for me =D
in the lift back to our room.
Xue Ni and her emo-ness!! LOL
and ya, i'm supposed to sleep with Ginnette tonight, but since it's the last day in Krabi, we decided to ALL SLEEP TOGETHER IN ONE ROOM!! and we chose to sleep in Room 404!
and so Ginnette and Xue Ni slowly started with shifting some valuables and important stuffs over to my room first. and then one by one we grabbed all the blanket, pillows all migrate/smuggled over to the Room 404. and the most important and sneaky thing we did is to shift one of the bed over the other room as well. LOL
Fazillah, Ginnette and me slowly carried the bed up into standing position, Xue Ni will be outside the room keeping a lookout for any passerby or resort staffs!
and when the corridor is clear, Xue Ni will signalled to us and we will quickly moved the bed over.. in tactical movement. HAHA.
and it's like the first time we're like doing such illegal stuff! haha
Room 404: extra bed
Room 405: missing bed
so fun and exciting! haha. and with all of us in one room, of course displayed our 战利品 and souvenirs out.
this is what i bought throughout the 3 days.
seashells that we picked from all the beaches we went!
playing my laptop while waiting for the massage people to come.
anyway, Fazillah had her massage first, Ginnette and Xue Ni will be next. and when Fazillah is done with her massage, we went down to the lobby for wireless xD. and i totally hate that lobby, because there's ALOT of mosquitoes down there.
i ended up doing silly stunt again, wiping my hand with soap, alot alot of bubble to kill all the mosquitoes. and it's so fun when the mosquito touched your hand full of bubble, they died instantly!! haha.
Xue Ni and Ginnette joined us in killing mosquitoes after their massage. lol. but those mozzie really very clever, when your hand was full of soap, they don't appear. when you cleaned off all the soap, the started attacking you again.
back to our room after that. Fazillah and Xue Ni being the first 2 who went to sleep.
Xue Ni on the bed and Fazillah got one whole bed on the floor solo.
Ginnette and me had nothing to do, and we started doing all kinds of emotions and camwhoring! lol. in the middle of the night at 3am (singapore time).
want some new msn emotion icon?! LOL
and then we started playing more crazy. we took out a pen and started drawing on our face. lol. my intial plan was to draw a fake dimple, but then it ended up like this!!
and lastly...
my successfully drawn dimple on my left cheek!!
why wasn't i born with a dimple T_T
yeah!! and it's time to sleep. sang 童话 with Ginnette and went to sleep =D. so sad, we're going back to Singapore the next day already. why good times pass so fast?!
Sweet Dream @ 3.30am!
