My Birthday Getaway 2013!
Just came back from Krabi for my birthday getaway! A long waited holiday after the previous trip which was in Feb. This is my 2nd time to krabi and I still love the place! If you just wanna find a place that is relaxing with cheap and nice food, nice people I think this can be one of your choices.
This time round is with boyfriend instead of girlfriends..haha..so a bit different in terms of the chit-chatting part..well you know..Girls being together tend to talk a lot more and camwhore a lot more..We stayed at the same hotel as before because it's cheap but with at least 4 stars standard? My flight + accommodation for 3 nights was only $ 300+. The name of the hotel is Krabi La Playa Resort. This trip also let us found out that the owner is a Singaporean..haha..You can arrange for transport to and fro airport and they charge 1000 bht for two way.

Day 1
Reached hotel at around 12 plus..packed and ready to go out for lunch. Just like before, had our lunch at the roadside just outside hotel. Really cheap and good.
Basil prawn rice - 40 bht only |
This fried rice is nice! |
This is something I've never tried before but nice! Coconut 'macaroon''haha |
Banana Pancake is everywhere..go get one! |
After lunch, we went to book our trip to Krabi Town in the evening. You can just walk along the main street and search for any tour agency that offers transport to and fro Krabi Town. Each person will be 300 bht. The trip is mainly to visit their night market. A lot of people, food and you can do some shopping there. Bought a top and skorts there :)
Chillaxing in a bar |
OOTD
In Agneselle Eleanor Crop Top - Love the quality and cut! |
Day 2
We decided to go to Phi Phi Island on the 2nd day but not for snorkeling or anything la..just to walk walk see see..Same thing, you can book the ferry through the travel agency too. One way for each person will be 900 bht. We went to the main island but it's in fact nothing much to see la..haha..it's still better if you go there for some sea activities. Walked up to the view point to take pictures then relax at the beach before going back to Aonang. It took us to and fro around 4 hours for travelling but okla..at least I have finally been to Phi Phi haha...

Night was the highlight of Day 2. Our dinner at The Hilltop! Found good review online and decided to give it a try. They even arranged transport to pick you up from hotel and send you back. The restaurant is really at the hilltop. You can reach there latest around 6.30pm to catch the sunset. Windy, nice ambience and there is singing performance too! The food was nice but of course slightly more costly than those roadside ones la..We ordered a damn huge lobster, a seabass, vegetables and prawn rolls, dessert and two drinks. Total costs 2800 bht.
Day 3
Day 3 was the most relaxing day! haha..Didn't plan anything to do. Dabao-ed our lunch back and ate at the balcony of hotel room. After that took a nap till 4 plus and changed into swimsuits to swim! haha..time to show off my new love - Love Bonito's bikini!
Dinner was at a seafood restaurant near our hotel called Wangsai Seafood but don't find it very fantastic. Service not very good also perhaps only that girl..haha!
This is nice though |
It's crab! but can't even see the crab cause it is too small -.- |
Last but not least, you have to try the massage when you are there! If you want to have a more atas feel then do it in the hotel, else it's cheaper having it outside. :)
their Banana pancake is very sweet... Basically roti prata/roti chenai with bananas in it, topped with sugar + condensed milk, or some with chocolate...
