--- DAY 1---
For the first day, we stay overnight at Alor Setar at Genial Garden Hotel and depart to Bukit Kayu Hitam Checkpoint the next day. Before drove into Danok, we had bought the car insurance at the place near the custom.
Friendly reminder: Better to depart to the checkpoint early in the morning as we have spent 2 hours at the checkpoint!!!
--- Day 2 ---
After that, we depart directly to Krabi which required another 5 hours plus to reach Ao Nang, Krabi. During the journey, we have our KFC lunch at Tesco Sadao. Their loaded bowl was simply the best!
Then, we checked in Ao Nang Miti Resort and find a nearer place to have our dinner.
Since we have our Malay colleague together, all the food we had were Halal. And there was not a problem to find Halal food as I can see a lot of Halal restaurant at Ao Nang.
After we had our dinner, we took a Tuk Tuk to the nearest night market which near a Mosque.
We found that actually, we can go there by foot because it was located just a stone thrown away from our resort. The night market quite small and we continue to walk until the Ao Nang Beach. There are a lot of bars, restaurants, massage shop and tour agency along the road. While waiting for friends buying stuff at 7-Eleven, I had the famous choco banana pancake!
After settled our next day schedule, we went to Ao Nang Beach. The night was still young as I saw a lot of people relax on the beach and band singing in the café. Kinda relax!
We walk until the end of the beach and had a drink. One of my colleagues a drink with a funny name “Sex on the Beach”!! After that, we went back to resort to have a rest.

At the same time, we had found a package for island hoping and try to negotiate for the price. At last, we had chosen the Phi Phi Island Tour! The small counter just beside Ao-Nang Kuang Paow Halalfood Restaurant.

We went back to the resort and took a shower. After that, we went to Atta-Rak Massage Ao Nang to have a nice massage. I had tried their Foot & Hand Massage which cost me 300bht. I was satisfied with the therapist service. I will recommend you try them.

Later, we went for our dinner. We had our seafood feast at Aonang Kung Paow Halal Food restaurant. It was located along the road. 
--- Day 4 ---
Finally, come to the last day in Krabi. I had bought some bread and fish fillet burger from Family Mart.
Then, we continued our journey back to Malaysia, we set the wrong destination in the waze and drove to Wang Kelian Checkpoint which was smaller than the Bkt Kayu Hitam [Danok] Checkpoint.
A new place was discovered. Anyway, we reached KL in midnight. This experience was never fade in my memory.
We went to the Emerald Pool and Blue Pool which need about 2hours drive to before back to Malaysia. We do not swim there because short of time. The pool really crystal clear and the fish can easily see through the water. *Entrance Fee--200Bht

Hi dear! I just wonder is it really worthy to go Emerald Pool and Blue Pool? Because I read alot bad comments about that place from trip advisor and was really crowded with the locals especially during the holiday, and the water is not really crystal clear huhu
ReplyDeleteFor me, i think is worth because i go there in the early morning around 10am. At first, i thought there will be crowded with people but i saw not much people there. And the fish really can see through the water. So, is depend on the time you go the Emerald Pool.

ReplyDeleteHi..where and when to apply international driving permit?
ReplyDeleteHi Qusanssori, i just get updated. actually Malaysian no need to apply international driving permit to go into Thailand.
DeleteYou guys are crazy. hahaha. If you drive further up (abt 5-6 hours north) you shall reach Ranong. Quite beautiful too (if forestry is your passion). There are hot water spring in Ranong. Golden Grass too are quite stunning scenery. From Ranong you may take approx 40 mins of boat ride to Myanmar. I think it called Kawthaung but I'm not quite certain. More stunning POI in Myanmar to visit.
ReplyDeleteHi, I saw that you entered Thailand through Bukit Kayu Hitam border, and went back through Wang Kelian, thats mean, it is not necessarily to get out from the same border? And the export/import need to be return actually can be return at different border you came in? TQVM
ReplyDeleteFor both question, my answer is yes. no necessary to go out at the same border. =)
