Marcella First Trip To Krabi

We celebrate Papa Jon ahem... 29th birthday

(Yaiyyy.. Still young....)

We got nothing to do in Kuala Lumpur, and we found cheap ticket to Krabi.

We just pack light hand luggage and drove to the airport.

The journey took about an hour and half. 

We arrived in Krabi :)

From airport to hotel took about 30 minutes. Our taxi cost THB 600, other option is by bus/van cost about THB 150/person.

We arrived in the hotel, both kid and dad start testing the comfort level of the bed.

They seems happy :)

We stayed in Apasari Resort in Ao Nang Beach area. Not exactly beach resort, but just nearby. We can walk to the beach.

The hotel quite cheap too, but amazingly super comfortable.

Clean and nice bed, bath tub, toilet, balcony and small swimming pool.

Thailand is paradise of food. If you love veggie (like me) they pamper you with plenty soup and salad.

And I always get excited with street food. So yes, from very first day Mr has to let me roam around collecting plastic bag filled with food.

I got my first meal here, flat noodles seafood and vegetables in corn starch gravy. Quite nice for THB 80 

Fruit is everywhere in Thailand. From street stall, convenient store til massage place. They offer you fresh cutted fruit anytime you want.

I had my huge watermelon almost everyday (and makes me peed all night long)

The 2nd day, we start to wander around. Fron the hotel to Ao Nang Beach took about 5 minutes by tuk-tuk, THB 30/person. We can walk too, but there were construction along the way poor Marcella's stroller and we going to suffer from the dust.

My tropical girl enjoy her chill out moment :)

Beach and iced coffee

Foot massage after that.

And swimming a bit

On the evening we had our dinner out at Wang Sai Seafood Restaurant. Its on the seashore, beautiful sunset view.

Food is very fresh and love those grilled fish. Price? Cheap..

We walked to the restaurant. Quite nice view around

Day 3,

Just another chill out day and enjoy the surrounding.

We didnt go crazy with trip itinerary because we have infant with us.

Travel with baby,

Have tot ake stuff easy. They are very easy to get tired, confused and stress.

Marcella is a big fan of her dad

(I am not sure why) 

She looks really happy when her dad home from work, or she got a chance to cuddling on him.

Dad is the coolest person on earth :)

Happy Girl chill out in hotel room.

Some of the food we enjoy from hotel breakfast buffet.

Waiting our flight back to KL

She cope up with the trip well.

No major stress or confusion. Makes me feel so relieved ☺️☺️☺️

Hat Yai trip 4 : Last Part

we had lunch in Mc Donald,

and get ready to go home...

Thai Chicken Rice

and me.. :-)

Hat Yai trip 3 : Floating Market

After shower, rest, and finish up the very important online conversation with MD.

We continue to roam around to floating market.

According to the local, Klong Hae floating market only happen during weekend (is it...?)

Well, I don't know...

but when I went there, was Sunday. Perfect time to visit floating market.

Talk to the local, ask how much to take car or tuk-tuk to Klong Hae,

it's about THB 400 - THB 500 for back and forth (expensive, sigh...!!)

Finally we manage to talk to one of the driver, and he offer THB 400 for back and forth

and unlimited waiting period while we roam around



He pointing at that corner,

He :  Talam Nat Khlong Hae...  *&%&& kap... **^&^+)#%% kap... (&%%.. kap...

         600 Baht..

Me : 400 only

He : 0(&^&^ kap.... (pointing at the red car)

Me : Red Car..? (*EXCITED)

He : *&&*^% kap.... (nodding the head) 500 Baht

Me :  No Money... No Money.... 

         400 Baht => OK,  500 baht => No money

He : OK &*^&^& kap... come...

Then I follow him,

I was so excited... FERRARY TO FLOATING MARKET.. YIIHIIIII....

(oh well, I am wrong. We take tuk-tuk NEXT TO red car)

the other mistake, I was eating lunch in the city before we went to the market.

I am soooo regret eating lunch before we went.

Next time I got chance to go there again,

I will starve myself for three days before the trip.

nice gate isn't it..

30-40 minutes tuk-tuk-ing,

we reach the place they call it Floating Market.

The price of tuk-tuk bit expensive for me, but it's worth.

The floating market is bit far from the city, where you can see how actually the local live.

Not just bukit-bintang-jalan-alor-alike city.

the first stuff catch my eyes,

the insects..

remind me with me under-grad, we used to rear zillion cockroach and worm for pesticide tester. And they rear it for food.

you may choose what you want,

cheese flavour, BBQ, satay, hawaiian, teriyaki sauce..

finger lickin' good..  :-)

Somethign that out of the topic. The local try to sell fresh fish on the floating market (most of the bazaar sell food, drink, and cute stuff. And she selling tiny fresh fish..!!!)

I believe they catch the fish from those green lake..

(well, green is better than brown lake like in Jakarta)

in front of the floating market

that is the famous floating market people always talk about in Hat Yai

Wish Malaysia Govt as creative as this, so many lake here..

Might we can have even more fun pasar malam (night market)

Maybe they can sell something in Tasik Titiwangsa,

instead of those boring wheel.

colourful umbrella

catchy drink seller,

with their fancy glasses.

you can choose the container you want.

Bamboo (THB 20) or Teracota (THB 25)
