KRABI - A very beautiful place for R&R holiday. We stayed in Krabi for about 3 days, air tickets was about the same price to BKK and the place we stayed was about THB 500 per night. But as there were 2 beds hence 1 room is usually shared within 4 person. Mega budget! No aircon (but actually there is no need of that cos the weather during year end is really cooling), no HOT WATER haha.. well it was ok too. A very simple place run by the Thai Muslim family. They are really great and nice people.
PIX: Cashew Nut Bungalows. The little house where we stay. This place is located about 10 to 15mins away from the town so either you take a TUTU or rent a bike which I think is much better because the road in Krabi is really new. hehe ... not bad right, we even put our own mat outside to make it homely
PIX: 1st night in Krabi.. 5 of us went to Krabi to meet our friend from London but little did we expect that 2 more pals were coming down from Phangan, 5 more pals were on their way from singapore and so on.. wow thats a whole lot of people. Went to the nearest town and gather with pals at this hawker center look alike place to eat. The food was good and the price is the same as BKK. After that we went walking in the town, to be honest, there is nothing much there but our main purpose is to look for the place where they sell the GREENSPIRIT party tickets which cost about THB 1500 i think... can't really remember.. for 3 continuous night (psytrance). So first night was just a chill out night, just hangout outside our little house with pals we met and playing with cats.One of the cat is blind.. poor thing.. but it still can find his way around the entire bungalow area :)
** The weird thing is.. in the morning, we rcv a "love" letter under our door from one of the neighbour.. complaining that we were too noisy last night and that his gf is in hospital now and blah blah blah...he is not in a good mood, can't sleep and all..
PIX: 2ND DAY - woke up in the morning, had breakfast with our friends and head out to buy the ferry ticket which will bring us to RAILAY beach. I think the ferry cost less than THB 300.

PIX: RAILAY BEACH. There are 2 beach area in RAILAY and the one at the back is a better one where all tourist will go. So inorder to go there, we have to walk about 30mins through the hotels, rocks etc... wow the hotels there look really nice, but to my understanding they cost alot. On our way there, we see people signing up for rock climbing, climbers trying to reach the top and some thai people trying to sell accessories and beach mat and all but it cost us about THB 400. ** remember 400.. COST later of the trip... we saw the same which cost THB 200!!!!!x&d8g@@@XXX.?
PIX: Finally!!!! We reached RAILAY beach. As you can see from below, the entire beach is really packed with tourist.. somehow we manage to find a spot where we can open up our THB 400 tie and dye cloth and chill out there for the rest of the day. Little boats selling fruits and snack.
PIX: The sun is setting and its time to go back to mainland. Check out the 1st picture, 3 of us swam there and i was about to freak out cos somehow i feel something is biting me all over my body... anyway it was just some micro thingy which was biting me and as per my pals, i should not scratch it, cos it will spread. When we reach that rock, we saw a vertical hole where climbers can climb up all the way to the top.. too bad am not a climber myself or i could have taken some nice pictures. Oh! btw, around RAILAY beach you can rent canoe and explore the area, shix, i should have done that too..
PIX: GREENSPIRIT 1ST NIGHT. This is my first time going to GREENSPIRIT and it is the last time as well cos surrounding villages was complaining that it is too noisy and hence this was the last GREENSPIRIT. Phew.. i am so damn lucky!!! Below are the arts and the entrance to the party place.
PIX: Pitching a tent in the night?? BAD IDEA! Trust me haha.. we were having so much problem pitching up the tent.. it took us about 30mins to complete it cos there were no lights at all and we have to walk around every other tents, which by the way smell alot like toilet LOL, and trying not to trip over all the strings and people's belongings.
PIX: Party till the morning. Met some really nice people at the party. Oh i had forget to mention that this party is actually in a rubber plantation. WOOHOO.. it was really a great experience for me. 1st night, there wasn't much people and not much locals were there.
PIX: 2nd NIGHT. SAY GOODBYE TO 2006!!! My 2 girlfriends finally reach Krabi and they came to our bungalow to look for us.. it is count down time!!! But as you can see, both my dear friends are still sleeping with their door wide open. This place is really peaceful cos my friends really did not close their door and it seems that nothing was missing. Ok time to wake up people... yea.. we miss the count down but well we manage to see the fire works from the outside of Cashew Nut Bungalow and our dear friend went out to get some wishing lantern back so that everyone can get to have a wish.
PIX: 1ST JAN 2007 HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
Below are the picture of the party and also a video of the thai guy playing with "fire". On the countdown day itself which is also Hari Raya Haji, there were alot of thai locals there as well. Fantastic night.. or should i say day :P
