20080511 - Krabi
Today early morning we packed some of our stuff as we're going to Krabi for one night 'stay'. It was not a pleasant trip as the driver took us round and round. Waited here and there. Almost thought we're cheated. Finally we're there in Krabi. Then the staff there told us that there's only one trip back to Phuket tomorrow at 11:30am. Oh no. How are we going to send Celine back on time to catch her flight at Phuket International Airport. Bad planning. When we reached Krabi Town, rain drizzling again. We decided to take our lunch at one of the shop.
My lunch with Thai spices. It's Thai culture that they provide spices to their customer and let them flavor their own foods according to their preferences.
After our lunch, we took 'tud tud' to Ao Nang Beach (cost 40 baht per pax). Rain never leave us a minute. On the way to Ao Nang beach, raining again. Sigh...... The lady sat opposite me just visited Malaysia and gave comments regarding the treat of foreigners in Malaysia. Would like to apologize here for overheard their conversation.Ao Nang Sunset was a pretty nice hotel. The hotel was clean, no smell and the facility was good.
We need to find a way to send Celine back on time. After asking from one agent to another, we hardly find any mini-van to send us back since only one trip back to Phuket which is 11:30am and will only reach Phuket at around 3:00pm, while Celine flight is 4:00pm.
We're almost hopeless and the only way is taking taxi now. We stop by at a stall and have our dinner. While waiting for our dinner, we wrote postcard to 2 or our buddies in Malaysia - BY and HY.
After our dinner, we head back to Ao Nang beach. The sun was tired as we are. It's sinking down the sea. Finally we got a private van for 2300 baht sending us back at 8:00 am from Ao Nang to Phuket (most of them offer 2500 baht). We'll be able to reach Patong Beach by 12:00pm. Huray!!! After such hectic Phuket trip, we have Thai traditional massage at 250 baht for an hour due to better environment. (usually around 200 baht). After the massage, we were served with ginger tea and it tastes good. We have a very good night sleep after the massage......
