Krabi (22nd Oct - 25th Oct)
After strong recommendations from my sister-in-law, we finally managed to have a short getaway to Krabi (Thailand). It has been a while since the husband and I went on a holiday and I was really looking forward to it.
It was like a little town that just depends on tourism for a living. There are no famous local produce, or handicrafts or any such things that is a must-buy for tourists. Instead, tourism in Krabi depends totally on all the tiny islands/beaches surrounding the area. As the pictures show, the view is spectacular and the water is always crystal clear. We spent 2 full days island and beach hopping, and the husband also had a blast of the time snorkling on both days.
We went on a long-tail boat for the first day and it was quite an experience. As it cannot get too close to shore, it was a challenge getting in and out of it. The waves were constantly shifting the boat's position, and depending on luck, the water could just reach your calves, or all the way up to your thigh when you attempt to get out and find a spot where your feet could touch solid bottom.
The second day was spend travelling on a speed boat. Though the time taken for travel with a speed boat was half the time of a long-tail boat, it didn't make the moving up and down of the boat any easier. But at least we got to try the two different modes of travelling on water.
The husband is already thinking which island to go snorkling and relax next. Honestly, it was really fun and enjoyable to have a short trip once in a while, where you are not bound by the schedules of itinerary.
