Krabi Day 2 - Four Islands

Too many choices and packages, since we are new to Krabi,
we chose the Four-Islands package :

- Chicken
- Tub
- Poda
- Phra Nang Cave

Long Boat prices :
Adult(450B), Child ( 350B)

Yi shouting : take the next flight to Krabi, we are having FUN !!

We have early breakfast at 0715, since the pickup will arrive at 0830.
Buffet breakfast is sumptuous, but we cannot eat too much,
in case we vomit on the boat :p


The boat area is at Nopparat Beach. Once you disembark,
you will see whole stretch of speed boats and long boats.
Crowded !

One L-o-n--g Tail boat can seat 45 passengers, this is not a small sampan.

Mission 1 - Tub island
Sand bank is exposed, allowing us to walk from the boat towards inland.
There are no jetty, so you either climb down a ladder, or jump straight into the sea.


As today is 01May Labour day public holiday,
we see boats and people everywhere !!

Nevertheless, once kids see the sand and water,
they only have FUN in their mind.

One happy family,
Xin always looks alert, after her beauty sleep :p

Tip : It is not easy to climb back onto the boat, as you need to access a ladder.
Luckily, a lot of helpful uncles help us load and upload our kiddos.

Mission 2 - Chicken Island
We smuggled some muffins from breakfast :)


One of the cliffs look like a chicken head, thus the island name.
We did not disembark, although this is fertile snorkeling area.

Too bad, Daddy and Mummy cannot somersault into the cool water.
We need to babysit :p

Mission 3 : Poda Island
Lunch is fried rice, appetising when you are hungry :)
We need to recharge our energy, in order to Play harder.


After a quick break, we trek 15min to the other side of the island.
We saw some Tsunami alert signs along the way.
Krabi was also affected by the 2004 Tsunami, but impact is mild,
compared to Phuket and Phi Phi.

Daddy and Mummy were amazed at the kid's endurance.
Weather was scorching hot, and the ground was hot too.
But we heard few complaints.


Maybe the kids are anticipating clear blue skies and green sea beyond?
We were not disappointed,
white sandy beach and picturesque limestone greets us again !!

Mission 4 : Phra Nang Cave
Yi and Xin were KO and Mummy rest with them on the boat.
We are out from 0830 to 1400, no wonder kids are tired.

We did not explore the caves, but instead play with sandcastles.
We buried Wei in the sand again. Too bad Yi did not witness this sight.

Did you know Sengkangbabies were on FHM cover for 2010 May Kid's edition keke


Back on board, we quench our thirst with watermelon and mineral water.
It is easily 34 or 35 degrees, and we have our suntans to proof.

On the way to our van, we found our photos+frames.
Only 100B each? Singaporeans will say "cheap cheap".


In the van, we are tired but happy.
Daddy wonders how we are going to survive another sun-sand-sea day?


We went out for early dinner. Nobody object to aircon Macdonalds :)
Have you seen a "sawadeeka" Uncle Ronald before?
Daddy has not seen Pork burger before yummy.


Last mission of the day, is dedicated to Mummy. She needs to do some shopping, otherwise our trip will be mission-fail hehe.

Daddy : Krabi (甲米) is paradise. The limestones, green seas, white beaches,
are postcard perfect. Everywhere you turn, more limestones greet you.

There are fishes everywhere for the kids to feed. However, we suspect
there could be too many people, as water clarity is not crystal clear.
Tip : kid's life jacket are rare, you might want to consider buying them from town first.
