"Krabi, once is never enough," whispers in my ear, but my mind wonders, "Where else could they go besides the sea?" Mountains don't come to mind.
What are the highlights here? The oysters are not big, and the eggs are not red.
The view is endlessly captivating.
This is not a 4-island party tour in Phi Phi. This is a spontaneous trip, basically just wandering around.
For breakfast in Krabi, dim sum is a must. Ratcha Rasti Dim Sum, Krabi Dim Sum, or Sai Mai Dim Sum are all good options. As the red car passes through Soi 5 of Maharaj, stop by Sai Mai. The pork congee is decent, but if you're looking for a full score, go for the braised pork bone noodles. The noodles are so soft they practically melt in your mouth, and the pork is so tender it falls apart before you can even pick it up with your chopsticks.
For those without a car, you can hail a white taxi to Ao Nang (our pier) in front of Vogue. The ride takes about 30 minutes. Get off at the last curve and purchase your ticket immediately.
Railay Beach and Phra Nang Cave are top attractions. Round-trip long-tail boat tickets cost 200 baht per person.
The boat was full of tourists, with only three of us being Thai. In less than 20 minutes, the boat cruised across the emerald green water, dropping off foreign tourists at their accommodations before taking us to our destination. It was not yet noon, and the beach was still relatively deserted.
The Phra Nang Cave is another impressive spot, offering both a relaxing beach and challenging cliffs for climbing. While the corn here is a bit pricey at 60 baht per cob, the fruit is reasonably priced at 40 baht per bag. The last ferry departs from here at **6:00 PM**, but we didn't wait around and headed back to the mainland a little after 4:00 PM.
The next day, an outdoor activity to burn off the energy from the previous day's meal at Ruen Mai Restaurant, serving local cuisine.
The kayaking tour was very affordable at 400 baht, with transportation directly to our accommodation. We would like to thank the friendly guides and drivers of True Leisure, especially Uncle Somchai and Uncle Jimmy, for their excellent service.
The Gateway to the Canyon and the Azure Sky
The famous roti at the Ancient Human Crossroads intersection was not so memorable that I would want to go back for more. However, the tea there was truly delightful.
Completed a trip without using a personal vehicle.
Public buses in Krabi
Red city bus 15 baht per trip (circling around Vok Mall - Chao Fah Bridge Road - Old Market - Bus Terminal)
White car round trip Ao Nang-town 50 baht
Each meal focuses on walking around the market, especially the City Market near the city, which has cheap and generous smoothies, soy milk shops with full toppings, and delicious grilled bananas and sweet potatoes with sauce. Try walking around and see for yourself.
At the corner of City Market, we recommend another favorite restaurant, MAY & MARK, to conclude your visit.
Good night. Stop reading and go to sleep.
Good night.
