Krabi is famous for its many beautiful scenic islands with white sandy beaches. They became even more so after the movie, Beach starring Leonardo De Caprio. It is the perfect holiday destination for those looking for a relaxing area. But if you wanted some adventure to your holiday, they do offer many too, such as island- hopping, snorkelling, rock climbing, sea kayaking, fishing, jungle trekking, scuba diving, ATV, elephant ride and a few more I could not remember.
There are so many hotels and resorts to choose from but after a few weeks, we decided on beautiful Nakamanda Resort and Spa, Krabi, Thailand We stayed at the hotel for 4 days and 3 nights. The hotel did not serve halal food but out of their own courtesy, they had made halal selections for us. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Because the resort is situated on a hilly area, they have made many stairs to climb. (See my picture below).
This is my first time wearing Bokitta while travelling. I have to say it was quick and stylish at the same time. If my Bokitta went askew, which happened alllll the time, I could readjust it in seconds. Bokitta is the best travelling scarf without compromising my Deen.
While we were there, we partook in four trips. Two of the trips were complimentary from the hotel which took us to Ao Nang Market and the Night Market. The remaining trips were the jungle tour and the four island boat ride. Total cost for three adults was RM600 which was much cheaper than our Langkawi tour package. Huhuhu...
Day 1: Jungle Tour
Friday 27/4/2018
8 am - 4 pm
Hotspring Waterfall
The day started with the trip to the jungle. Once we reached there, we had to walk for 300 metres to the hotspring from where we parked our car. After half an hour dipped, we were called back to our next destination.
There is no other explanation as to why it was named as such except that it is truly green. It is not the water though but the algae underneath it. The rest is science, which I rather not explain... 😒
Lunch Break
Inclusive in the package, we were served tasty sweet sour chicken, fried vegetables, tomyam chicken and watermelon for lunch.
Tiger Cave Temple
Our last destination was the Temple. Once, there were tigers prowling here, hence the name, but now not anymore. Huhuhu...
Day 2: Island Trip
Saturday 28/4/2018
8 am - 2 pm
On this trip, I had planned to wear my Nashata's sports hijab but unfortunately, I accidentally left it behind. So I had to wear my Ariani's basic hijab instead. Nashata has a very good sports outfit selections. The shirt I wore was not actually for swimming, but because it is loose, long and somewhat quick drying, I opted to wear it even though I have a swimming outfit in my cupboard.
Pra-Nang Cave Beach
Island Trip
Chicken Island
Tub Island
Poda Island
Our last stop was Poda Island where we had our lunch; rice, chicken ginger, fried egg and fruits. An hour and a half later, we headed home.
At 5 pm on the same day, we went to the night market at the heart of Krabi. I wore my favourite palazzo by Tiedye Specialist and pair with a matching top by Zara. Ah yes, to complete the look, I styled it with Bokitta scarf. Perfecto!!!
That is all from Krabi. Until next time...
