Krabi Trip

Had a short getaway trip with my family and relatives two weekends back to Krabi, Thailand! (:
Our flight was at 12.35pm and we reached the airport at 10am in the morning. Had such a hard time waking up as I slept really late the previous night. Zzz.

Breakfast was McGriddles! Honestly, I haven't had breakfast for a long time!! Not because I'm trying to lose weight or anything but because of my odd sleeping hours!

We were all set to go, had our luggages checked in and had a little shopping inside the airport. When the time was up, we headed off to the gate and board the plane.

DAY 1 


Snap snap snap while we were on board! (: 



The flight was as short at 1.5hours! Blabbering around with one another in the plane TADAH, WE'RE AT KRABI!!  

Went to take the coach that was arranged for our family. Had our rest during the 20 minutes journey! 



Aunt Liyun!!


Cousin YongQuan!


Cousin Michelle and Sister Sandee!









Here we are at Peace Laguna Resort, the place that i stayed at for my weekend !!





Swimming pool ! 


Picture taking time! Yong Quan still prefer to be with his maid, Yati ! *runs*




Got our keys and we got into our rooms, feeling excited! Shared the room with Sara and we had our luggages unpacked ! (: 













Took a quick rest at the resort and met up with everyone at the lobby and head out for our late lunch! Feeling so hungry, we quickly ordered our food and had our stomaches filled! Thus, forgot about taking pictures over there! ): 

As it wasn't too late yet, we decided to have a stroll by the streets to see if there's anything that we can bring back home! Bought some hairbands and a pair of slippers as the shoes I wore there were too tight for me, causing my skin to tear ! 









We all headed back to the resort after all the shopping and arranged to go for dinner all together at the beef stall right outside! The beef ball noodle there was simply awesome! Not only does it tastes so good, it only costs 30 baht! 

After dinner, we walked to the nearby massage parlour for our leg massage! It was an hour session inclusive of neck and head massage! The girls who gave us the massage were good! As it was getting late already, we left for our resort to have our rest.. 

DAY 2

Woke up at 8am and washed up! Sara and I got changed and we went to have Breakfast at the cafe.. The place was filled with cats and got most of us terrified. Hahaha. Sara and I left to a small corner to have a quick breakfast and went off ! 
Went back to our rooms to get extra clothings as we'll be heading off for the beach after!









Look at dad, he's good to go! (:

We took a coach down to a beach and waited there for awhile as we'll be taking a speed boat down to our destination! 

And here's a picture of Eunice and Cherry! (: 

We had a long wait down there as there were some late-comers. Meanwhile, we just took some pictures around the place and had our insect repellent on!  

Daddy and Mummy! 


And that's us, their 3 daughters! 
Yours truly, Sara and Sandee! 




Sandee and Yong Quan.


Sandee and I ! 


And here's Eunice and I ! 

Took about a 15 minutes ride down to our destination! This is the first beach that we'll be going to.. It was quite sunny over there! But I have no idea why it looks kinda cloudy in my pictures! 









Michelle and Aunt Joan ! 



Looks weird yeah?! Its a JELLYFISH! And never get stinged by them ! 









My family! Love..



And this is my Uncle's family! 






Aunt Gina and Eunice !







After staying at the island for about an hour, we got up the boat and head off for snorkeling! We stopped in the middle of nowhere and jumped into the sea to snorkel.. I hesitated for so long before going down into the sea as there were many jelly fishes around and of course, I didn't want to get stinged by them.

Finally, I got the courage and I got down!! But, I was still so paranoid even though I already got into the water. It was really beautiful below and I did not regret at all going underwater to view the fishes and all..It would be lovely if i had a waterproof camera to snap some pictures!





And here's Chicken Island. And the name " Chicken Island" was actually named after the shape of it ! Doesn't the picture above look quite like a chicken? HAHAHA. 






We went to 2 other islands after, one to have lunch and the other was another beach for us to relax in and to take more pictures! Sat the speedboat back and the coach back to our resort!

Had a quick bath once we got back and prepared to meet the rest at the lobby again for our late lunch! Guess where we settled our meal?! The beef noodle stall again! All of us couldn't get enough of it! Hahaha.





Cherry and I ! 



Here's a picture of the beef noodle soup. Looks so plain and uninteresting right?! But it tastes supa good i swear! My bowl of noodles looks less tasty than the others because of the lack of ingredients like vegetables! I don't eat them because they taste so bitter! Supa unhealthy i know.

Walked over to the nearest hair braiding shop after as Cherry and I wanted to try out the hair braiding! Looks so interesting and it is quite uncommon in Singapore!





These are the beads that are attached to the end of my hair !






And here's Cherry having her hair braiding! 


Cherry and I headed off for more shopping after braiding. Sadly, the shopping there isn't good at all !! One sentence to describe it all. Its just like all the shops get their stocks from just ONE supplier. Why do i say that?! That's because, all the shops there sell the same clothes, same accessories and same flip flops. HAHAHA !

Went back to our rooms to have a short nap as we were all dead tired.. Headed out to have our dinner settled at Subway!

All of us gathered at my Uncle's room after we got back to have a mini birthday celebration for my Grandmother! We wanted to surprise her with the birthday cake, but somehow or rather, she found out about the cake that we bought! Hahaha. Not fun at all !

But still, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AH MA ! (:












AH MA!! 



Laughing happily. HAHAHA.






Mummy and Ah Ma cutting the cake, looks so sweet ! 



Dad enjoying his cake by the corner!




Done with our celebration, all of us started discussing about our plans for the next day. The adults decided to stay at the resort and have their massage while my cousins and I were deciding if we should go for rafting and ATV! However, everything could only be decided the next day due to the arrangements that have to be made..

DAY 3

Well. The next day, I went to the cafe for a short while during breakfast, just for the yoghurt as Cherry said it tastes super good! And indeed, the strawberry yoghurt was yummy!!

Soon after breakfast, we made arrangements with the resort staffs as my cousins, sisters and I were pretty  interested in rafting and ATV! In half an hour's time, a van came to pick us up and we had an hour plus journey down to our destination!









We reached the place at about 1230pm, but we waited for nearly 2 hours before we could start our activities. Luckily, they had lunch buffet for us over there and that made time passed much faster..

Finally, after a long wait, we headed to collect our life jackets and headed off to our boats for a short briefing about the ride! Feeling excited, Cherry, Eunice, Sara and I hopped onto our boat while my Dad and Sandee took another one as there's limited space in each boat. The ride was fun except for one part when someone else from another boat threw a frog over to my boat! It flew through Cherry's face and landed on MY feet! All of us screamed so loudly when we saw the frog in our boat as no one knows where it will jump to next right? Hahaha.

We went to have a short shower as the water wasn't really clean and continued with our ATV activity! Well, this activity didn't really went very smoothly as the roads were really bumpy and their vehicles had some problems that actually caused it to reverse when on slope! How dangerous was that! Cherry, Sara, Dad and Sandee encountered this problem except for Eunice and I.. After all these accidents, we decided not to complete the whole activity by ourselves, so the guys fetched us all to the finishing point!

Took a 2 hours ride back to our resort after these activities! Immediately we had our bath and headed out for dinner as it was already 8pm!!



We settled our dinner at AREE BAR BAR! 






Grandparents, Uncles, Aunties, Parents and Relatives! (: 



Here's the " CHILDREN'S " table! I look stupid here, hence the pinky star on my face! 



Watermelon Freeze. Quench thirst! (: 



Ice-blended Yoghurt! 



A plate of Phad Thai ! 



No idea what's the name of this dish. But it tastes really really good! A MUST TRY! 



Pineapple Rice! 



Tom Yam Soup!! 



We booked a massage session for the 7 of us at 11pm ( Mum, Dad, Sara, Sandee, Eunice, Cherry and I ). Mum, Sandee and I did the leg massage while the rest of them went for the body scrub massage. I couldn't go for it as I was already having sunburns over my shoulders and arms ):

All of us were only done around 1am and we were all too tired to go anywhere else. Hence, we headed back to our resort to have our belongings packed as we gotta do an early check-out the next morning!

DAY 4


Woke up at 8am again for the last day. Did a final round of checking before getting our luggages out of the rooms..
Gathered at the hotel lobby once again and we took a coach down to the Underwater World.. Somehow or rather, it looked more like a farm to me.. HAHAHA.












NEMO! 












Looks like DIRT, don't they? But they are small little fishes! 







We left for some shopping for their local foods and bought some back! Pork floss crackers and all. Yumyum!
Next up was lunch at their famous duck noodles place! I think it doesn't taste really special afterall and most of us had a lot of leftover. Hahaha.



Now, we're back to the airport again! The check-in queue wasn't long and we only took a short while to get our tickets done!


What's really bad was we did the check-in too early and there isn't anything for us to do inside at all except for a small little counter for drinks. Other than that, there's just rows of chairs for the passengers to sit while waiting for their flight ):



Seat for Monk? Was bored enough to have this picture taken down! Hahaha. 



Mummy enjoying her coffee while waiting to go up the plane! 


The last picture that we took before we got up the plane! It was again another 1.5hours journey back to Singapore! Overall, it was a good trip and I believe all of us have enjoyed ourselves alot there! (:
