photograph, travel | 322 views 9 Pilipalas »

Krabi is fun… is a nice place to chill out. Is the good place if you feel like relax yourself. If you really want to get out of the TOWN feel, i think is best if you can stay @ the island. Sample island such as Phi-Phi island, please take note that. this is really an island. wink~~

After all the activities.. we went back to our Hotel to take some rest.. and of course bath too.. then.. we came out.. hehehe.. to have some snack…

Price: 30baht
Remark: this Thailand mango rojak taste unique… ya.. is something that we cant get in Malaysia.. and is really spicy.. they have mango… dried small prawn.. and the thailand sauce…


here’s the BBQ Chicken…
Yummy Rating: 3/10
Price: 30baht
Remark: seriously it smell nice.. but how come i gave 3/10 as yummy rating? cause it taste not nice.. and the chicken is too hard to bite.. phew.. that’s why i gave that rate…

ok.. let’s see how the others look like after the full sunshine day…


The first person.. the RED NOSE Brandon.. yeah.. his nose look like got sun burn.. (but luckily is not, just red only..)


Rames.. as usual… still posing with his sun glasses…

Price: 10baht
Yummy Rating: 10/10
Remark: is sooo chocolate… which hardly can get in Malaysia… and the best part is… VERY CHEAP.. just 10baht… i wonder this one can bargain price or not.. hahaha.. cause we didn’t bargain with him…

On the way to dinner… we actually book for our tomorrow’s transportation too.. cause… we have to book a van to fetch us to Krabi International Airport… we have to book before our dinner cause we scare that we might eat till too late.. (luckily we really book before hand.. else.. hehe.. i think we have to walk to the Airport :p)


by the way.. this is the stall we saw that selling some corn, sotong etc by the road side.. I bought the sotong from him… and what he did is BBQ it… and it taste nice.. this is something hardly see @ Malaysia.. even if they do sell also.. quite expensive… but here is much cheaper…


ok.. same as the first day.. we walk for sometime.. finally we reach the Wangsai Restaurant…


here you go.. this is the Wangsai Seafood Restaurants…


before we start eating.. we actually saw a group of kids… trying to play the Lantern Kong Ming by the beach…

Fly up high.. so in the end.. we bought one too… but we didn’t burn it yet… ya.. not yet. .we plan to do so @ another beach…


ok.. let’s see what we ordered today… ya same.. is TOM YAM.. something that can’t miss. this is the Tom Yam Prawn…


and this is the green curry chicken… taste so so


the white tom yam seafood.. nice nice… same like the previous one.. hehehe


and here’s the vegetable…


for the Tom Yam Seafood they have crab in it too


hmm.. this is the spicy Crab… taste so so.. i still prefer the one we order on the first day.. today’s dinner cost us 1515baht… so 1515baht / 8 which mean one person is less than 190baht for a seafood dinner… -_-” cheap right…

After dinner we walk walk walk… all the way back to another beach.. which is near to our Hotel…


and i saw this… and i bought it.. it cost me.. 100baht for this.. is actually a soup.. for decoration
