Trip to Krabi 2016 : Itinerary - Interesting places to visit in Krabi, Thailand

Hye All!

Just came back from Krabi and of course... im still on HOLIDAY BLUES!!
Anyway, this is my second time to Krabi this year ;) Earlier this year, i went with friends, and this time around, i have to bring along my small family and both of my parents.

Alhamdullillah, it went so well. Now, many of you were asking me on the tips and itinerary for Krabi.

Let me share with you guys our itinerary and few tips during travelling to Krabi.

We went there for 4 Days and 3 Nights. 

Day 1 : Emerald Pool and Hot Spring

It will be easier and save time if you just arrived in the Krabi Airport and directly go to the Emerald Pool. Travelling time from airport to this pool (some called it Crystal Pool) will be approximately 40 to 50 minutes.
What's interesting here?? Of course the clear water, the serene environment and fresh air! I will blog in details about this emerald pool and blue pool.

Arriving in the emerald pool

It has a very huge area. Be prepare to walk  more than 1 km.

The clear green pool. SOOO Cantek!

You can even take a clear picture underwater!

This is called Blue Pool, which only opens from October to April if im not mistaken. So make sure you prepare to not missed the timing

Here is the Hot Spring waterfall which located about 2 km from the Emerald Pool

Warm and soothing soak in the hot spring.

 Day 2 : Island Hopping

There will be many packages for the island hopping. It can be either 4-Island Package (travel to 4 islands in 1 package), Phi-Phi Island Package or Hong Island. You can then opt for Long Tail boat or Speed Boat. and Of course  there'll be difference in terms of the rates. Long tail will be a lot cheaper than the speed boat. Out of the packages, 4-Island is the most affordable one. Hiks. 
The packages will be going to different islands accordingly.

For this time around i picked 4-Island package. We gathered starting from 8 am and the whole trip took up to 3-4 pm to arrive back.

We registered here before we were transferred to the long tail boat

Ready to go!

Arrived at the first Island : Tup Island

At that time, i was lucky to have lots of fishes around

At one of the island, after Chicken Island, the boat will stop for about 40-50 minutes for  us to snorkle

Nice view, clear water, lots of corals. 

We had lunch in Poda Island - lunch usually included in the package

What's not included in the package would be the marine ticket park, Thai Baht 400 per person (ie approx RM40/pax)

Day 3 : Elephant Riding

Is a must when you visit Krabi!! 

Registering before we start the journey

The Elephant riding

 Day 3 (Night) : Big Crab & Night Market

We went to snap picture at Big Crab and Eagle after our elephant ride.

Right after that, we went to the Night Market. Do plan your visit properly, as night market only held during Friday night and Weekend nights only. 

You'll get a bargaining power especially for t-shirts and souvenir at Krabi Night Market

 Day 4 : Free and Easy at Ao Nang Beach

I dont have any packages for Day 4 as it was a free and easy day. We walked along the Ao Nang small town to buy more souvenir  and also to spend time in the ao nang beach

It wasn't a crystal clear beach as compared to those islands.

Do not forget to take picture here!

It was so beautiful here

Welcome to Aonang!

 Day 4 : Green Tea, Thai Tea and Tomyam Paste Hunting

Do Not forget to grab green tea, thai tea and tomyam paste in Krabi!

You can either get it from Macro

or Tesco Lotus in Krabi town

That's about it!

I will blog more on each of the places we went, cost and hotel in Krabi.

Stay Tuned!
