I’ll missed ‘You’ Krabi

---

I never thought I would have so much fun in Krabi, let alone feeling as heavy hearted when it was time to say 'Good Bye'.

We arrived at Krabi on 27 May. Didn't planned out any activities, and definitely had no expectation whatsoever.

The first day was spent stuffing ourselves silly at the street vendors. And countless rounds of shopping at the nearby 7-eleven. Which I have to admit, the 7-eleven in Thailand never cease to amaze me - Well what can I say, Junk food IS the love of my life! And 7-eleven in Thailand is indeed a junkfood haven!

The next day was spent wandering and shopping around Ao Nang town. It was low season and there was only a handful of tourist spotted. And lucky for us we managed to get better discounts. And surprise surprise! Most of the vendors could speak Mandarin! And some even Hokkien! That kinda caught us off guard, especially when we were discussing how much discount we wanted to get with the purchase!

Now, Krabi wouldn't be whole if we do not make a trip to the 'infamous' Phi Phi island. I joined a day tour, paid about 1,100 baht which includes photo opportunity at Viking Cave, snorkeling at Lohsamah Bay, Piley Bay,relaxing at Bamboo island and Maya Beach (where the Beach was filmed) as well a lunch and shopping at Phi Phi Don.

However, the highlight I must say, is the elephant ride at along the stream and serene jungle terrain. Honestly, I am a HUGE fan of elephants! It might be the largest mammal on land but it's so strong and yet gentle, emotional and smart. And the one that we rode, its 45 year old male elephant whom his guardian (who has been with him for 15 years) affectionately address it as Andy Lau hahaha...

It amazes me to see how a human being can communicate so well with the elephant. His guardian said he has been with him for 15 years and he knows what Andy Lau likes and dislike. Such bonding that exist between a human and an elephant touched me dearly.

Overall, a place that I have no expectation has left a very special spot in my heart. It's definitely a place where I will revisit again.

Just to see Andy Lau :)
