Hello, Krabi is another province that we have dreamed of since childhood. Today, we have the opportunity to return to Krabi again. Our trip this time is to go to Krabi in the most worthwhile way. Let's see what we did in Krabi on this trip.
We embarked on our journey by tour bus. The bus departed from Bangkok at 5:00 PM, but we boarded at Phetchaburi. The bus arrived around 7:00 PM, and we slept soundly until we reached Krabi the next morning. After a short wait, the hotel's shuttle picked us up from Krabi Bus Terminal and took us to our accommodation.
The original text describes a trip to Krabi, Thailand, where the author stayed at the SRISAWARA CASA hotel. They mention the abundance of restaurants, the hotel's proximity to the Krabi Walking Street and the Chao Fah Pier, and the convenience of getting around on foot or by boat. The author also mentions the availability of tours to nearby islands through KHO PHI PHI TOUR.
Here's a more formal and academic translation:
During our trip, we stayed at SRISAWARA CASA, a hotel conveniently located in Krabi Town. The hotel's proximity to numerous restaurants and the Krabi Walking Street ensures easy access to dining and entertainment options. Additionally, its closeness to the Chao Fah Pier facilitates convenient boat trips. Transportation within the city is readily available, with options for walking and boat rides. Furthermore, KHO PHI PHI TOUR offers tours to nearby islands, providing an opportunity for further exploration.
The original text describes a morning scene in a quiet city. The author arrives early at the hotel and leaves their luggage at the lobby. They then inquire about breakfast options and are directed to a nearby morning market.
Here's the translated text:
We started our trip by leaving our luggage at the hotel lobby, as we arrived early in the morning. At seven in the morning, the place was peaceful with minimal traffic, making it a truly pleasant city. So, we asked the hotel staff about breakfast options, and they informed us that there's a morning market just a short walk away on the left side. Let's head there!
Upon arriving, we were greeted by an abundance of food options. The bustling marketplace was filled with vendors selling a variety of fresh produce, seafood, and prepared dishes. Among the many offerings, we stumbled upon a particularly intriguing sight: a combination of fried chicken and sticky rice wrapped together for the incredibly low price of 5 baht.
After we were full, we continued walking straight ahead. We were going to meet the black crab field...
In addition to the black crab sculpture, there are also beautiful graffiti works for taking pictures.
Do you see that over there? It's called Khao Khanap Nam. Today, we're going to take a boat trip there. First, we talked to the boat driver who was waiting for tourists in the area. We found out that a boat trip to Khao Khanap Nam, Ban Ko Klang, and the mangrove forest for eight people costs 500 baht. I'm the only one, so a private boat also costs 500 baht. Oh, that's great! The price is very reasonable. Let's go! Let's set sail! 555
The boat approached two towering mountains, each 100 meters high, flanking the river. A cave adorned with stalactites and stalagmites awaited us, along with the skeletal remains of ancient humans. As we docked, we paid the 30 baht entrance fee, surrounded by playful monkeys.
The provided text is empty. There is nothing to translate.
As we continued our hike, we came across a man by the riverbank, bending down and picking something up. Upon closer inspection, we learned that he was collecting sea purslane, a type of edible plant that can be used in cooking.
Let's go inside the cave now.
After exploring the cave and admiring the monkeys, stalactites, and stalagmites, we continued our journey to Ban Ko Klang.
Ko Klang Island is a community with a simple way of life. There are restaurants serving fresh seafood directly from the cages, guaranteeing its freshness. Moreover, not far from here, there are fun activities waiting for us. Let's go!
The fiddler crab emerges to greet.
Transportation in Koh Klang Village is typically provided by motorcycle taxis that take visitors on tours and activities around the island. However, we were fortunate to have a kind local lend us a motorbike for free, allowing us to explore the island at our own pace. We are incredibly grateful for their generosity.
Our first stop was a replica of a traditional Thai houseboat, where we witnessed a demonstration of boat building and learned about different types of boats.
We then took a leisurely ride to the organic rice fields of Sankh Yod, which are grown using natural rainwater.
Next, we arrived at the Batik House. In addition to beautiful fabrics for sale, there were also small pieces of fabric for us to try our hand at for 50 baht each. But before we could start working on the fabric, we had to eat first. The aunties called us to eat watermelon before we started working on the fabric. Today, we arrived in the afternoon and were the last customers of the day. ^^
The following is a translation of the Thai sentence "นี่ๆไง ฝีมือเรา" into English:
"Look, this is our handiwork."
Leaving the batik fabric behind, we still have the unfinished business of building a large "หัวโทง" boat. I would love to see a truly massive boat. Let's go find a place that builds large boats!
It is time for us to leave the island village and head to the mangrove forest.
Oh, hello there!
After cruising along and admiring the beauty of the mangrove trees, it was time to return to the shore.
The translation of the text is:
Upon reaching the shore, we encountered this old man who was sitting by the riverside, painting with watercolors. The painting was truly beautiful.
Oh my! After a long boat ride, we were starving and decided to chill at Roti Bang Nara. The food was incredibly delicious, and the price was very reasonable. Everything in the picture cost only 35 baht!
After a satisfying meal, we returned to the hotel to check in. We arrived at the SRISAWARA CASA hotel.
The room is spacious, the bed is large, and the bathroom is convenient. Since I'm traveling alone, I have plenty of space to myself and won't feel lonely. I can explore and have fun without any worries.
After settling our belongings at the accommodation, we wasted no time and continued our walk. Today was truly a day for strolling around the city.
The translation of the provided text is:
"Not far from the hotel, we came across Wat Kaew Korawaram, a third-class royal temple and also the provincial temple of Krabi."
As we were about to head back, we overheard news that there was a Red Cross fair going on in town. "Why don't we check it out?" one of us suggested. "It's getting late anyway, let's go find some delicious food to eat."
Along the way, I was struck by the color red, red, red.
Welcome to the Red Cross Fair! Come and enjoy the food.
The first menu we will present is fried fish eggs. I don't know what kind of fish eggs they are, but they are oily and dry, and they are delicious. One bag contains 6 pieces for only 20 baht.
The second dish, "Spicy Chicken Wings," is a must-try for anyone visiting Krabi. We ordered it twice because the wings were large, juicy, and coated in a delicious sauce, all for only 25 baht.
The third menu item, "Meatballs," features meatballs simmering in a warm dipping sauce on a hot stove, offering a unique and flavorful experience.
When there's savory, there must be sweet. The fourth menu item is sweet and delicious stewed meatballs in syrup, priced at 20 baht.
After a satisfying meal, it was time to rest. We strolled through the city, taking in the sights, until we reached our lodging. However, the wound on my foot from the previous hike had not healed, necessitating a visit to the doctor.
For tonight, sweet dreams. Tomorrow morning, we'll tackle it all head-on!
Good morning! Let's wake up early, have breakfast, and hit the road.
Today, we will head to Koh Phi Phi first. We will travel by KOH PHI PHI TOUR, which offers convenient pick-up and drop-off services directly at our hotel. Let's wait for the car in front of the hotel. The car will arrive around 08:00 AM.
Our journey has begun! Let's see what awaits us today at Koh Hong.
Upon arrival at the pier, we checked in and boarded the vessel. Our departure time was 9:00 AM.
The use of life jackets on a boat is extremely important for our own safety and for the peace of mind of the guide. In the event of an emergency, we all want to be safe.
The following is a translation of the provided text from Thai to English:
We're off! We're taking a speedboat, which only takes 20 minutes. But on our boat, we have both cold water and fresh oranges for us to enjoy.
We have arrived at Koh Hong! The emerald green seawater is crystal clear, and the towering limestone cliffs are breathtakingly beautiful.
Koh Hong offers another unmissable activity: a nature trail hike. The hike is short but incredibly scenic and refreshing. Notably, along the trail, you will encounter the wreckage of a ship that was washed ashore during the tsunami several decades ago.
After admiring the beautiful cliffs of Khao Pha, we descended to the sea.
If the water is this clear, even fish up to their knees will swim to you.
The snorkeling here is incredible, even in shallow waters. You don't need to dive deep to witness the beauty of the fish and coral reefs. In fact, the water is only knee-deep, and it's truly breathtaking. Trust us, we're not exaggerating!
After a satisfying dive, it's time to satisfy our hunger with an all-you-can-eat lunch buffet.
The translation of the Thai sentence "เมื่อทานอาหารเสร็จ เอ้าาา เจ้าถิ่นก็มา" is:
"After finishing the meal, the locals arrived."
Hello, Giant.
After a relaxing break, we set off for the next station.
The water level is low today, so our boat cannot enter the lagoon. Additionally, the lagoon is very crowded with other boats.
No problem, let's continue our journey.
We are currently at Pak Bia Island and Rai Island, small islands connected by a stunning sandbar.
After admiring the beauty of this place, we continued our journey to Koh Ladin. This island is surrounded by forests and beautiful cliffs, with a passage through the mountains that leads to a beach with black sand on the other side. Another interesting fact is that Koh Ladin is home to a large number of cats, probably around ten.
After hiking, admiring the cliffs, diving, swimming, and playing with the kittens, it was time to return by boat. We walked back around 3:00 PM, and the speedboat took us back to the original pier. A car was waiting to take us directly to our hotel. Wow, I've never been on a trip that was so convenient!
After returning to our accommodation, we showered and changed before heading out to find something to eat.
A short walk from our accommodation to the Chao Fah Pier Market, where we enjoyed delicious food and stunning views.
Turmeric grilled chicken, chicken satay, chicken with sauce. This restaurant is very delicious, only 10 baht.
This shop sells everything for 50 baht. This menu item is braised beef noodle soup.
The second day of our amazing trip is over. Where will we go tomorrow? Stay tuned!
Hello, day three. Today we will go to Phi Phi Island. I heard that the water here is very clear. Is it really that beautiful?
As usual, a car picked us up at the hotel today at 8:00 AM. How convenient!
Without further ado, we boarded the boat, donned our life jackets, and set sail. After a 45-minute journey, we arrived at Phi Phi Leh Island, where we marveled at the beauty of the limestone cliffs.
Translation:
We finally arrived at Maya Bay. Let me tell you, the water is incredibly clear and the scenery is breathtakingly beautiful.
The sentence is already in English and does not require translation.
After that, we continued to the LAGOON, a beautiful place where we sailed through narrow channels surrounded by cliffs and emerald-green water. Oh, it was amazing!
We then continued our journey to the Viking Cave, a site known for its edible bird's nest collection.
The diving at Phi Phi Island will be much deeper than at Koh Hong, which we visited yesterday.
After diving for a while, the boat took us to Phi Phi Don Island for lunch. As usual, the lunch was a buffet.
Translation:
After finishing our meal and taking a break, it was time to board the boat and head to our next destination. We continued on to Ranong Bay for another round of snorkeling and coral reef exploration.
We then continued our journey to Koh Phai, renowned as the most beautiful island in the Hat Noppharat Thara National Park.
Where did you get this wound? Oh, I went hiking and the wound got infected.
After a relaxing break, it was time to return by boat. We boarded the boat at 4:00 PM and disembarked at the original pier, where a car was waiting to take us back to the hotel.
Upon returning to our hotel, we were famished and decided to search for a restaurant on Google. We found a Korean restaurant that looked promising, but when we arrived by motorbike, we discovered it was closed. We quickly searched for another option and stumbled upon this restaurant.
I had a delicious meal for only 200 baht. The owner of the restaurant was kind enough to offer me a ride back to my hotel, which was nearby. I am so grateful for their kindness.
Translation:
The original text is in Thai and describes the author's plans for the next day. Here's the translation:
"For today, we say goodnight with grilled pork. Tomorrow is our fourth day here, let's see what we'll do on our last day in Krabi!"
As usual, we waited for the car at the hotel. It picked us up around 8:00 AM. Today's activity was something we had been wanting to try for a while, and we finally returned to this place to do it: rock climbing. Let's see how it goes for someone who is somewhat afraid of heights. Will we survive today? 5555
Upon arrival, we boarded a boat and continued our journey to Railay Beach.
We arrived at the beach after a short boat ride. We prepared our equipment and listened to safety instructions for rock climbing. It is important to choose shoes that fit well, as we will only be using the tips of our toes to stand on the rock face.
Scaling the wall may not be difficult, but preparing your mind and heart is even harder. Come on, today we will break through it and unleash our survival skills. Let's fight!
Rock climbing not only requires us to utilize our own skills, but also demands trust in our belay buddy below, who is responsible for securing our rope.
Translation:
This activity is suitable for all ages. Children aged 2 and above can participate in climbing. Safety is not a concern, as our guides will provide you with the best safety equipment.
Our half-day rock climbing adventure has come to an end. Today, we learned a lot and pushed ourselves beyond our limits. Despite feeling like we couldn't go any further, our guide encouraged us to keep going, and surprisingly, we did! Next time we visit Krabi, we'll definitely try a full-day climbing experience.
We finished packing and returned to the boat to return to the shore at 2:00 PM. A car was waiting to take us back to the hotel as usual. When it was time, we took the tour bus back at 5:00 PM. We slept soundly until we arrived in Phetchaburi at 4:00 AM.
Our trip to Krabi was an absolute blast!
Every day was filled with fun and excitement. We want to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who supported us and cheered us on. We also want to thank the kind and friendly people of Krabi.
Stay tuned for our next adventure! We'll let you know where we're headed soon.
Thank you for making this trip so memorable.
ME' Art X Traveller.
