Krabi - Part 1

Let me put it to you, there is nothing special in Krabi Town except this traffic light! I am not sure how many people will spend time & money just to go to see traffic light. If you are planning to go to Krabi, you should spend your time in Aonang Beach where all the activities are.



Krabi airport is quite new & nice. If you are travelling alone or only 2 of of you, i would recommend that you take the shuttle bus which cost around RM 9.00 to Krabi Town and RM 15 each to Aonang Beach. You can find the shuttle bus counter just after you clear the immigration. Buy the ticket and look for white bus at the exit door. Dont worry, you wont get lost or missed the bus.....there is only one way out!


If by one way or the other you ended up in Krabi Town, you can actually take this so -called 'songthaew' which loosely translated 'car motor' to Aonang whch only cost around RM 5 per person. Remember, it is white in colour and their station is nearby the unique traffic light, at the 7-11 outlet.



I would recommend that you only look for your hotel only when you are in Aonang as there are plenty of them and besides that you can actually bargain for a lower price if you are staying for more than 1 night. Anyway if you are travelling with kids or you are just plain lazy to walk then book the hotel prior your visit.

I stayed in Aonang Beach Resort and i would definitely recommend it to friends as it was strategically located in the middle of Aonang Beach.The rate is reasonable by Aonang standard, around RM 200-250 per night. If you dont take their breakfast, you will save more on the rate. Their breakfast is simple...i mean really simple, besides being convenient, there is nothing special about their breakfast though.
Aonang has only 1 main road, the Aonang Beach Resort is right in the middle. Along the road you can find endless row of shops selling eveything you need and everything you dont need.

Just across the road you can see nice beach and many 'mat salleh' sunbathing. If you are bringing kids, try to avoid the beach during the day time unless you want to give them biology lesson or dont mind spending your time explaining to them why all the ladies lying naked under the hot sun....over and over again.....

If you wish to have your husband attention, dont do it at the beach in the afternoon, im sure his minds and eyes will be somewhere else.
