Sa-wa-dee-kap! at Krabi - Part #1

The night after my birthday celebration,
I went home and did my preparation,
As Thailand was my next destination,
Here I come, yee-haa! - a mid-year vacation!

001

It was a familiarization trip to Krabi,
Thanks to Nicole who invited me,
We met up with See Tho, after arriving shortly,
And snapping photos he went, our photographer, Andy.

003

Others that came along, was Kelz, Kim and KY,
They were great company, I cannot deny,
Though in the beginning I was a bit shy,
But it became better with them as the days went by.

002

Now if you had See Tho as your tour man,
You'd know why he seems more like a friend,
Cause he'd do the best that he can,
To show you a side you've never seen in Thailand.

004

005

With our growling tummies, we moved from being idle,
Loading our bags, onto the van and into our cradles,
Anticipating what's next, I even managed to doodle,
As we arrived at 'Rain House' and had the most awesome duck noodle.

006

007

After lunch, we headed to Klong Thom Hot Springs,
A short 15 minutes walk in, I saw KY undressing,
Kim did the same, it was so tempting, (the hot springs I meant)
Yes, it was indeed - the 'bathtubs', made me feel like a Thai King.

008

009

Beneath these bathtubs, was a river, gently flowing,
The water down there was cold, I was told, hmmm, interesting,
After playing king for about 20 minutes, actually, more like soaking,
I made my way down safely accidentally - how? - By sliding slipping.

010

011

Next up, we continued our journey to Krabi town,
But we stopped for a while, met the 'king', but without his crown,
As Malaysians who love the fruit, we smiled, and did not frown,
"Yummy", "Syiok", "Best", "Sedap" - was the sound.

012

013

Stopping at Krabi market, a lot to see,
From 'look choob' to petai, one can even do kenduri,
It was a colorful and a fragrant experience for us, saya pasti,
As my mouth watered, at these - my tummy sang with glee.

Ruenmai Thai Restaurant was up next,
It was dinner time, in the jungle, memang relax,
The food was good, ngam ngam for 7 pax,
I'm sure everyone enjoyed it to the max.

After dinner, we needed the sleep that we lack,
Checking in to Sheraton Krabi, we all begin to unpack,
Desserts were served, as a midnight snack,
Day 1 ended, stay tuned and I'll be right back!
