travel | 856 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~~

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…

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…

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…
