Krabi Town, Thailand

Krabi, is one of southern Thailand's provinces with beautiful beaches.
To get around in town, you can either use Samlor or Tuk-tuks or hire a car/bike and drive yourself.

This is an inside look of a Tuk-tuk
nice, clean and comfy.


The one and only Vogue Shopping Complex.

Spotted the Thai CIMB bank.






Porn De Beaute.
why the hell on earth they have to start a saln name with "PORN"

The happening night market. A place where you can find a varieties of local food at a reasonable price.




The fried chicken wing is nice but a bit too expensive.
A small piece sell at 20 Baht (MYR 2)


The Thai durian. 
(Advices: Do not try more than 1 piece cause its nice to see but not nice to taste.)

Krabi town is a functioning Thai town that's been around long before the international tourists started to visit Krabi make the area very local. There's nothing much to do here in Krabi, whether it's just a few days or a longer stay but still there are a few things you must do in Krabi
  1. Take in the beautiful sunset over the island off Ao Nang, Noppharat or Railey and relax.
  2. Stroll around the market and try some superb local food that on offer
  3. Spend a little time shopping in the local stores and market
  4. Remember to go for a Thai massage in the end of your trip
And above all.........ENJOY!!

Dive Day at Local Islands, Ao Nang Krabi

Scuba diving is considered as a tradition in Ao Nang, just in front of it the Railey and Nopparatthara beach has 15 smaller and bigger island which you can reach there within 30 to 45 minutes by longtailed boat but only 6 to 7 of them are used for diving, this includes Koh Yawasam, Koh Yawabon, Koh Doh, Koh Si, Koh Ha, Koh Mae Urai and Poda island.

 Come come let's go to the sea again. Heading to Koh Yawasam and Koh Yawabon my dive destination and im gonna do my 3 practical dives here ><

 Can you see that. That is the islands that I'm talking about.

 A closer look. *actually its just a piece of huge rock with grass on it, right?*

Hey, the name of this island is called Chicken Island.
My goodness who the hell on earth name it in such, 
I thought i heard something wrongly at the very first place

Yohoo~ here i go again. I'm under the water once again.

The Yellowback Fusilier 

The busybody Clark's Anemonefish who pose himself in front of the camera.

Redtailed Butterflyfish


Powder Blue Surgeonfish a.k.a Dorry

Tiggertail Seahorse

Brown Bamboo Shark



Varicose Wart Slug

Barrel Sponge


Fine Table coral

This is one of the cliff that I dive along.

A last photo with someone new that I met. The Fong family from Hong Kong. ^^

p/s: a summary to the whole dive experience.
The dive experience and expectation is below my imagination. I thought I can see something nice under the water but who knows I've miss count the season in Ao Nang so thats why things are out of my expectations. If you ask me whether the islands are worth to go or not. My answer will be ''you can drop by for a visit but for diving no, save your money for a better spot will make you more satisfy later". In order not to get lost in the sea I've got to stick very close to my instructor during the whole diving session, I remember well that I did lost my buoyancy twice, do not have time to give my instructor any signal and up up up I ascended to the surface. You might be panic if you're out on the surface while the rest of people are still in the water. Don't be afraid we're trained to be calm no matter what happen. Do not go down to look for them cause you do not know how far they've gone to, you'll even get lost in a more serious situation so just stay where you are they will ascend to the surface to see where you'll be.
