Sawasdee kaaa....

Selamat datang ke thread baru Krabi... untuk thread lama.. sila rujuk :

Krabi Part I

KRABI - For newbies ...

What’s Krabi : Not an Island, a town quite near to the seaside of southern Thailand.

How to go there :
a)    Self-drive via Bukit Kayu Hitam Border around 322km away, perhaps to overnight @ Hatyai for a more relaxed travel :-
       KL - Bkt Kayu Hitam ~ 5 hrs via highway
       Bkt Kayu Hitam - Hatyai ~ 1 hr
       Hatyai - Krabi ~ 3.5 hrs
       **  Travelling time depends on your speed of course.

b)    By Bus/Train :  From KL take bus/train to Hatyai, go to the main bus station in Hatyai for bus to Krabi town – ticket would cost around RM30/pax/way.
       Bus from KL :  Quite a few express bus ply KL-Hatyai route - popular are Konsortium, Alisan, KKKL.  I've seen recently Syira Express - new bus with good rates.  Not recommending Kesatuan based on personal experience - journey too long coz it is not direct.  Please check when you purchase the ticket.  Ticket price depends on the type of bus I believe but the price range is from RM40-RM55/way.  Recommend to buy tickets separately not return in Kuala Lumpur.  

c)    By Air :  Air Asia / Tiger Airways

Doc required :-

a)  Self-drive :  valid passport (more than 6 mths from expiry date) car registration card (if possible original - ask the bank to release the document momentarily).  At Changloon, approach one of the many agents along the road to get Thai Car Insurance and the embarkation card.  The cost would be around RM20 for both car insurance & embarkation card for 2/3 pax.

b)  By public transportation : valid passport (more than 6 mths from expiry date)

Food Halal?
Since Muslim in Krabi is approx 42% of Krabi total population, halal food is not a big problem.  Muslim stalls and restaurants can easily be found within Aonang & Krabi - just look for ladies wearing headcovers and/or places with crescent sign (bulan sabit & bintang).

Stay : Around Aonang area, ie 30-40 mins drive from Krabi town/Airport.

Halal Hotels :
@ Aonang
Aonang Orchid
Aonang Princeville
Sand Sea Resort
Sunrise Tropical Resort
Somkiet Buri

@ Krabi
Sripet Hotel

@ Railay
Railay Village Resort & Spa

Some other hotels do not have halal kitchen but they could arrange for halal food to be catered for you.

When to go :  Any time of the year.. but best time ie cheapest : June – October ie Green Season.

Things to do :-
a)  Snorkeling of course,  3 top snorkeling tours : 4 Islands Tour; 5 Island Tour (Hong Island) ; Phiphi Island Tour
b)  Canoeing / Whitewater Rafting
c)  Ecotours incl Elephant Riding/Treking, visiting Hot Spring, Emerald Pool, Nature Safari
d)  Rock Climbing
e)  Diving
f)   Thai Massage - MUST TRY - good and cheap!
