krabiiii






















krabi is overcrowded with people..maybe it's because i went on good friday or we couldn't afford the luxury of a private beach staying at rayavadee. the beaches were swarming with caucasian families and snorkelling areas were designated spots where everyone congregated with their masks within a few cm of one another. if you're a couple looking for romance i would suggest bali or somewhere else because i heard from my fren who was there on a wedding photo shoot he spent 3000+ baht for an overnite spa package with the mozzies/ants n a frog on the bath robe. anyway we took the phi phi isle tour made famous by leo's movie 'the beach' (1,100 baht) and the water is indeed pristine clear/clean but i wonder how long that can last. the town area at phi phi is crowded with internet cafes/backpackers and tours offering you diving spots guaranteed to bring u wonders of the sea. to me, krabi screams of commercialism. ok la it's not like we din have fun. weather was a scorching 38-44 °C and every moment was like sauna for us. they have this pancake-looking prata with all sorts of toppings that you can add like peanut butter nutella strawberry or bananas which is very common along the roadside for a quick fix. rest of the food there are mostly catered to the tourists bleah Xp we shopped for bikinis (200 baht) and boardshorts (bargain till siao 150 baht) and got ourselves a pretty good tan in the end =]
