Continuing my previous post on krabi, after phrah nang beach on day one, we took a boat short ride to Railay beach just next door as it was separated by a series of limestone walls! We weren’t that amazed at Railay as Phrah Nang was so much prettier! However, the sunset view was gorgeous so we chilled on the beach and then entertained ourselves with jumping shots, before finally returning back to Ao nang. We chanced upon a huge seafood restaurant right at the beach where we alighted from the boat, and it was a score! The food were so delicious! Pricier than other restaurants but still very affordable! With an awesome sunset view right in front of us, what more could we ask for? :)
They say Phrah Nang Beach is the nicest beach on Krabi itself, and I’ve to agree! With limestone cliffs surrounding the entire beach, it feels so secluded like a beach paradise on its own. Also, I think not a lot of tourists know about this beach which made it even more awesome! We spent about 10-15 minutes walking from one end of the beach to the other in which we chanced upon this small cave with loads of wooden penises. It’s like a mini shrine, how freaking gross is that?! Plus it stinks, urgh!
OOTD: Top & shorts both from H&M!
After reaching our hotel, we were so exhausted from the lack of sleep that we decided to take a 1 hour nap which ended up being 3 hours! It always happens but we never seem to learn our lesson! So anyway, we hurriedly got ready and went to have lunch at the roadside stalls near our hotel!
This was simply divine! You’re supposed to pour sugar in between the coconut filled kueh kueh.
After lunch, we booked our Phi Phi island snorkeling tour for the next day at 800 baht (S$32) each and then off to catch a long tail ride to the neighboring beaches! Was given a complimentary 5 minutes tuk tuk ride to the long tail depot area!
The boat was meant for 8 people! But because we overslept, coupled with the fact that it was off peak season, we were the only two lonely souls that wanted a ride! :( We could either wait until there were others who wanted to share the ride, or charter the whole boat to ourselves. As it was the only mode of transportation to the neighboring beaches, we decided to just go for it! Instead of paying a mere 200 baht (S$8) each, we had to pay 1200 baht ($48) for the entire boat. It was worth it having a personal “chauffeur” though! We could camwhore all we want, beach hop and laze around till we decide its time to leave and he will bring us back! So yes, we’re off to Phrah Nang beach, supposedly the nicest beach on Krabi island itself. Till next post!
Oh how I love birthdays. Its a convenient excuse to jet off on a holiday yet again, splurge on unnecessary luxury and yet not feel a tinge of remorse! Enjoyed my birthday week thoroughly with a getaway to Krabi & the Phi Phi islands as well as a stay-cation at the luxurious Marina Bay Sands with my favorite people! So here’s some snippets of Krabi, I swear the whole place is so beautiful I didn’t even have to photoshop! Will post again after I’ve sift through the 1200 photos we took! :)
