Honeymoon | Day 3

On 3rd day dekat Krabi adalah hr yg ditunggu tggu! We went to Phi Phi Island! This trip kami beli skali masa beli tixs AA together with the hotel. 

Mcm biasa, pagi2 breakfast. 

Tgk. Semua peralatan yg kecik2 je yg kami guna

After breakfast tggu van dtg collect dr hotel utk ke satu jeti ni. 

Kami bertolak around 0810 hours. Excited! Smpi di satu jeti, kami tggu bot ke Phi Phi Island. Once bot dh smpi, Ayu bergegas naik bot sbb nk rebut hot spot. Alhamdulillah rezeki milik kami. Else kena duk dlm bot yg x boleh nk experience ape yg kami dpt. Panas tu mmg la panas compared to duk dlm but the scenery and experience that matters. 

Chicken Island. I don't have to tell you why

First stop was Maya Bay.

Sesampainya di Maya Bay. Kami dapat duduk di open air. Sangat best. Orang lain ada atap and tutup dengan tingkap. Not fun! Igt minah salleh belakang Ayu tu. Ada cite pasal dia on 4th Day at Krabi =)

We were lucky when we got there, tak byk boat yg ada kt situ. So dpt snap pics dgn tenang. Maya Bay ni juga adalah lokasi di mana Leonardo pernah berlakon dalam filem The Beach. Oh my. The scenery was spectacular! We were given 50 mins to swim/rest around the beach but we decided not to go swimming at that Island. Our tour giude was Tam and he told us, nanti akan ada 3 tempat untuk kite snorkeling. 3 tempat tu dh cukup byk bg Ayu. Lg pun Ayu malas nk tukar2 bj. So jln2 je kt Maya Bay. 

Compared kan pic ni dengan pic 5rz kt bawah ni

Ayu snap lagi cantik kan? No?

That's our boat. Koh Phi Phi Tour

Jalan on the way nak ke toilet. Dalam hutan.

Once Ayu klua dr toilet, ya Allah. Byknye la boat2 yg dh smpi. Nasib baik kami smpt snap pics sementara x ramai org lg td. *hiks*hiks*

See, see. Ramai mahluk2 dari pelbagai negara

Boat dari Phuket pun ada. Tapi perjalanan dari Phuket ke Phi Phi Island makan masa sikit la

After ke Maya Bay, kami sggh ke hmmmmm...... was is Mosquitoes Island? Sorry I could not recalled the name. Sbb byk nyamuk, sbb tula nama pun macam tu. Tp Ayu x rasa gigitan nyamuk pun. Mayb sebab boat kami stop jauh dari island tu kot? Kt sini snap2 pics saje. 

Air sangat jernih

Next, tmpt snorkeling yg pertama was hmmmmmm..... entah lagi. Hahaha. :D Teruja sgt nk snorkeling! I tell you, even if you're having a period, PLEASE, please get down in the water. Else you akan menyesal. Sgt best pemandangan di bawah dasar laut. As I swimming around, Ayu nmpk this guy ni snap gmbr dlm air. Huwaaaa teruja lah! I wish to have that kind of camera too! Fish was like everywhere and 5rz and I was super duper excited! But sometimes Ayu jd cemas bila tetiba ikan2 semua dtg towards me in front of my face. Rasa cam ikan phirana dtg kt Ayu. Hahaha. No worries. Ikan2 ni semua x gigit you if you x kacau. And our tour guide and penolong dia juga slalu tgk2 kan kami.

Tak de orang nak snap gambar time kami snorkeling, snap gambar orang lain pun jadila

Snorkeling kt situ ambik masa 45 mins. After that, sggh ke Phi Phi Don. Kt sini kami lunch. 

Phi Phi Don

As I looked at the menu, I asked Tam was is halal for muslim? Sometimes korg kena ckp Muslim or Islam in case diaorg x paham halal tu ape. Just use this 3 words. Tam kate semua halal but at that moment, we both masih ada rasa was2. I always used the word was2 disini sbb I think benda ni penting. Klu dh ada rasa was2, for sure la klu korg makan, benda akan jadi haram. So, to double check, 5rz suruh tanya org yg incharge time nk delivered foods tu. And alhamdulillah, the moment Ayu tanya sorg staff ni, semua staffs yg ada kt situ, convince kan Ayu yg foods they all serve was halal. Masa tula terus rasa was2 Ayu hilang. 

The foods consist of (ikut anti clock wise ye) : Seafood Tom Yam, Sotong Sweet Sour, Fillet Sweet Sour, Vegetable, Fried Chicken and Salad. Semua nyummeh especially Tom Yam lah! Dah kate peminat Tom Yam kan!

Lps dh mam, kami diberi masa utk rehat2 di sekitar island. Ada juga yg pg shopping2 but we decided just to hang around the island. 

Having tea

Belakang sana ada macam2 kedai jual souvenir tapi kami tak pergi tengok pun

Then, off to Viking Cave. X lama pun kt sini. X turun dr bot pun. 

Lps tu ke satu lg tmpt snorkeling and again x tau ape nama tmptnya. Kt sini snorkeling dia kurang ckit compared to the previous one. Ikan x byk yg cantik2. Tam claimed that we can see Nemo fish here tp Ayu cari2 x jmpa. Bila tanya 5rz, dia kate dia jmpa je. Then 5rz tnjk landak laut. Didn't I told you dia ni mmg pakar binatang. Ke Ayu je yang tak tau rupa landak laut cam mane? Huwahahahha :D Then 5rz cite la yg landak laut ni klu kena kt kaki kte, boleh lumpuh. (Tp nape Ayu googled tgk ada je org pegang landak laut ni ngan tangan x de pape pun?) Anyhow, lps je 5rz ckp mcm tu terus Ayu jd cemas gle. Ayu suruh jom la duk dekat2 ckit ngan boat. Si 5rz sibuk nk menikmati keindahan dasar laut tu tp bwh kaki Ayu ni byk gle landak laut. Ayu jd nervous la. 5rz ckp bukannya landak laut tu boleh terbang naik ats. Entahlah. Ayu mmg cemas gle lps 5rz cite psl landak laut tu. Then Ayu pujuk 5rz utk naik boat cepat2. On the way nk ke boat tu, Ayu rasa Ayu dh berenang selaju yg boleh tp klu Ayu stop dr berenang, cepat gle air tu tarik Ayu makin jauh dr boat. Lagi la wat Ayu nervous! Last2 ada pembantu Tam ni nmpk yg Ayu cuak gle kot. Dia pun dtg rescued Ayu ngan pelampung. Yeay! Selamat sudah. Hehehe. 5rz slalu pesan, every time klu rasa nk lemas ke ape ke, hilangkan nervous tu dulu. Bila dh nervous, susah la nk selamatkan diri. Tp Ayu ni x leh nk control. Setiap masa nk nervous! 

Ok2. Continue balik. After that kami ke last stop, Bamboo Island. Kt sini pun kami boleh snorkeling tp Ayu and 5rz dh penat dh. So we decided utk swimming saje. After that, terus mandi/bilas and pki bj kering yg bersih. Kira settle la berbasah basahan for that day. Time kami bersiap siap, Tam hidangkan pineapple cake with watermelon and pineapple. Such a good tour guide! Dia ni mmg really takes care of org2 di bwh jagaan dia. Lucky us dpt dia. Every time after snorkeling or klu dia nmpk org jagaan dia penat, dia mesti akan offer mineral water. The cold one ok. Klu dia nmpk mineral water kte dh x sejuk, dia tukarkan dgn yg sejuk. Ayu rasa dia ni mmg well trained la oleh management dia. Wait until you see his face. Handsome! Hahahaah. :D

Sapa2 yang g Krabi, sila cari Tam ni. Dia sangat jaga korg punya kebajikan. Siap dapat tip byk lg dr pelancong2 dari boat kami

Persoalan yg bermain di fikiran Ayu adalah, di manakah Phi Phi Island nya? Ke, semua tmpt yg Ayu g tu di namakan Phi Phi Island? Smpi ke jetty kami terus di hantar ke hotel and berehat rehat. Sunburn x payah cakap lah. Dh kate duk kt open air! 

Malam plak mcm biasa, cr kedai mam yg bersesuaian. At that time, we decided to rent a scooter. We pay 25 Bath = RM 25 for a day. Minyak plak, masa dpt, ada hafl tank and masa pulangkan nnti, kena isi half tank balik. 

So merempit sana sini and this time around kami merempit jauh ckit. Before this jln kaki je. Mmg terasa la penatnye. So dh ada scoot ni boleh la g jauh2 ckit. Planning asal mcm nk dinner kt La Casa Restaurant tp terjumpa plak Bamboo Restaurant. This restaurant terletak depan Vogue Resort and Spa. Tp bila tgk foods dia a bit pricey. So we settled down to La Casa Restaurant saje. We ordered Jungle Curry + Rice for 100 Bath = RM 10, BBQ Pizza for 150 Bath = RM 15 (Murahkan?) with coke. 

This is Bamboo Restaurant in case susah nak cari, tengok je tempat2 duduk dia macam ni

Dalam La Casa Restaurant. Ada wall ni dipenuhi dengan segala mata wang asing. Ada RM 10, RM 5 and RM 1

Rice + Jungle Curry. Sedih kari macam tu. Sedap but not like the curry that we expected! So jd la x brape best

BBQ Pizza

Rasa menyesal sbb mam western malam tu. Supposedly datang Thailand, mam la Tom Yam kan? Hmmmm. Then blk hotel tgk Star Movie, tgk lappy. Tu jela kejanya. Hahahaha. 

That's all for Day 3 at Krabi =)

Honeymoon | Day 2

Assalamualaikum. Continue lg honeymoon stories ni.

Our hotel mmg x provide halal food. I think the only hotel yg serve halal food (because of the owner Muslim and mmg terjamin halal) was Aonang Princeville. Before this Ayu emailed and tanya kt hotel's staff (my hotel) whether they served anything halal or not. Sayangnya x de tp bila dia serve pork, they will let you know. Ok now come to the question. 

Klu dh tau hotel x served halal food, nape nk stay sane?

Ananta Burin Resort was the only hotel yg memenuhi kehendak budget kami pd masa itu. Further more Ayu slalu skip breakfast. So x kisah sgt klu terus lunch. 5rz plak wat nescafe sudah. Tp bila pk logic, kami boleh je mam fruits and breads. Alhamdulillah, pg2 kami x pnah missed our breakfast. Tp setiap pg adalah menu yg sama. Maksud Ayu, kami terpaksa ambik menu yg sama setiap pg atas faktor halal non halal ni. Hotel slalu je tukar2 menu. Every time Ayu stay kt hotel, Ayu paling suka scrambled egg or french omelette. So survey2 dekat tmpt dia wat segala mcm telur. You can choose to add up mcm2 dlm you punya omelette/eggs. Onion, chilies, etc etc, ham. Then ada one staff ni dia ckp

"It's pork"

I think they recognized me because of my scarf. See? Baik kan hati diaorg nk remind kan kte itu adalah pork walaupun Ayu dh tau. Then Ayu tgk dia msk. Semua telur yg dimasak menggunakan kuali yg sama. So at that moment, Ayu terkilan gle. X dpt nk merasa. :( To be save, we ordered half boiled eggs. That one dh tentu2 dia rebus kt kuali lain and insya-Allah x bercampur dgn benda2 lain. Yg pntg, jgn ada rasa was2! 

Abaikan pemakaian shawl yg x kemas itu 

Daily breakfast menu kami :

• Half boiled eggs (4 biji. 2 for each)
• Roti bakar cmpr jam/majerin or mcm Ayu kadang suka cicah ngan teh (mcm dlm gmbr di atas)
• Pineapple/Orange Juice
• Pancakes with honey
• Fruits (Watermelon, Pineapple, Papaya etc)
• Coffee/Tea
• Cereal (Ni 5rz je yg mam. Ayu x mam cornflakes. Nk Koko Krunch je tp x de. Huhu)

5rz ajr supaya ambik pinggan mangkuk and semua peralatan yg paling kecik. Alasannya senang je. Let say klu org ambik pork. Mostly mesti dlm pinggan and guna sudu yg bersesuaian kan? To be safe, Ayu wat la yg mcm 5rz suruh tu. Mmg kte x boleh nk jamin org lain x kan ambik pork and letak dlm pinggan kecik tp kebarangkalian itu kecik kan? Sudu plak, kami slalu ambik 1 sudu sup and kongsi je. Bila 5rz tgh guna sudu tu, Ayu mam roti. Bila dia dh abis guna sudu, Ayu plak guna sudu and 5rz mam buah. Mcm tu la kami kt sana.

Ambik roti walaupun 3, 4 keping, menggunakan pinggan kecik ni saje

Sudu pun guna tea spoon saje

Sedikit pemandangan di cafe hotel

Fruits, cereals, milk, coffee/tea and dapur diaorg masak pelbagai jenis telur

Entrance ke cafe 

Settle breakfast, actually dh x tau nk watpe. Hahah boleh cam tu? The planning was, shopping2 semua tggu last day nnti. Tp entah kenapa, Ayu mcm x sabar2 nk bershopping. So, we both berjalan la ke tmpt gerai2 sepanjang tepi2 jln. Dr hotel ke tmpt2 shopping tu dlm 15 min. Boleh tahan gak la nk berjalan tu. Survey2, mostly semua sama je. Klu kurang pun dlm brape Bath saje. So yg mana kami berkenan, tawar menawar and beli. Ada je yg tahu berbahasa Melayu and mostly org sana boleh recognize yg kami tgh ber honeymoon. The most obvious reason haruslah sbb inai di jari masih pekat. Reason lain I think sbb dh terlalu ramai rakyat M'sia g Krabi for their honeymoon destination kot? Oh sebelum Ayu terlupa, kedai kt sana mostly bukak at 1000 hours and closed awal around 2200 hours. 

Searching for Aladin's pant

Seluar Aladin kt sini lain dr yg ada kt M'sia. Grab satu!

Sudah kurus dr sebelum ini. :D

Sempat jugak tgk package2 tour nk ke island2 yg  ada kt sana tp satu pun kami x ambik. Phi Phi Island Trip mmg kami dh booked masa booked ticket ngan Air Asia dulu. Mcm nk ke Hong Island, Chicken Island tu semua ada package yg tersendiri tp x ambik sbb takut dlm Phi2 Island Trip tu depa include skali. So dh m'bazir kt situ. Sementara tu, kami ada survey2 jugak Muslim restaurant yg ada kt sana. Jmpa La Casa Restaurant dgn bantuan kertas guide yg Ayu print dr M'sia. Insya-Allah nnti Ayu share. Sempat jugak tanya dgn org2 sana mana lg Muslim/Halal Restaurant yg ada. And they told us Chaba Thai Kitchen. Cr2 and alhamdulillah jmpa. :) 

Jln2 sekitar pantai just to kill the time

Betapa byknye island2

Long Tail Boat. Klu nk murah jln2 island, naik ni tp lmbt la compared to speed boat

Tgh hr, kami dh penat and decided nk blk hotel. Before that sggh la kt kedai2 tepi jalan tu. Mostly and I think semuanya muslim and ada halal cop. Klu korg nk save byk on foods, sila beli di gerai2 tepi jln ini. Sedap and murah! Mula2 tu igt nk mam kt kedai tu je tp cuaca cam panas sgt la plak walaupun tmpt duduk yg disediakan di kawasan yg redup. Tp still nk air corn. So tapau la bwk blk bilik. Time tu ada la kami terjumpa sorg family melayu and depa ni asyik je tgk2 kami. I think depa pun tau kami tgh honeymoon. *hiks*hiks* Kt gerai tepi jln tu kami ordered tom yam ayam satu, telur dadar 1, ayam goreng 1 and nasi putih 2. Semua sedap especially tom yam lah!

Sementara tggu ordered smpi

Beli kt kedai ni. 

Ayam goreng dia nmpk menyelerakan. So Ayu ambik satu

You can see the halal sign there at the top

Abis mam, dh x tau nk watpe. Tgk Star Movie, tgk lappy. Tu jela kejanya. Adoi!!! I know it's boring. Kt hotel kami ada wireless tp nk ber internet tu pun masya-Allah. Mahalnye~~~~ 1 jam they charged 100 Bath = RM 10. Mak datuk! X mampu kot. Nk ambik 1 hour tu pun mcm x puas. So duk la relax2 dlm bilik. 

Mlm tu, kami ke Chaba Thai Kitchen. As usual, we ordered Sea Food Tom Yam. Ditambah dgn telur dadar, udang masak sweet sour dan juga air kelapa. 

Ce tgk telur dadar dia wat cam mane? Salah anggap la ngan ape yg kami ckp tu. Redha jela

Sementara tggu mam nk smpi, kami ternmpk plak agen perlancongan yg jual package2 nk ke island2, elephant tracking etc. 

5rz tgh survey package memancing

Lps mam g la tgk package yg ditawarkan. Ayu suka gle ngan pompuan yg jual package tu. Very well prepared. Dia siap tanya bila nk g and siap tnjk ramalan cuaca utk hr2 berikutnya. Yela klu hujan or ribut nnti kan ke dh susah nk jln2 ke island. Friendly pun ye gak. Kt sini depa ckp English susah ckit la nk paham sbb still ada slang2 Thailand. Tp kena pndi la paham2 sendiri. 

Last2 package ape yg kami ambik? None! Hahaha :D Ejen yg Ayu dok gembar gemburkan ni terletak dlm Chaba Thai Kitchen itself. Try la. SA dia sgt2 friendly. Ikt la rezeki korg klu dpt yg friendly ke yg kerek ke kan? But from what I seen, mostly org Thailand ni friendly2 and lemah lembut je percakapan dia. 

Ckit tips, klu nk beli package2, sila beli time depa nk ttp kedai. Let say kul 2200 ttp kedai, beli la kul 2130 cam tu. Mmg depa jual murah. And again. Ikt la rezeki masing2 ye.

Itu saje utk Day 2 at Krabi =)

Honeymoon | Day 1

Assalamualaikum.

Sambungan dr entry sebelum ni. Maaf ambik masa. 


After msk kan luggage, kami terus check in. Sementara tggu nk boarding tu rasa ngada2 nk kunyah2. So stop by at this one cafe (lupa what was the name) utk mam sandwich and ice lemon tea. Lg pun kami x order meal dlm flight. 

Check in luggage

Actually time ni x leh snap pic. Nasib la abg belakang yg nk stop kami dr ambik gmbr. Rezeki I dpt snap. *hiks*hiks*

My seat was separated with 5rz. Mmg x beli seat pun. Lg plak kami pk, ala setakat flight 1 hour ++ duk berjauhan ape la sgt. So redha je (padahal kau x de duit kan!) Utk pick a seat, kena byr RM 5. Ayu duk tgh2 and sebelah this Chinese guy. Kt tepi tgkp x de org. 5rz duk nun hujung di belakang and tepi tgkp. Ayu tggu depa ni ttp pintu je. Once dh ttp pintu, my seat yg belah tgkp tu kosong. Ape lg, Ayu bgn la utk pggl 5rz. Time tu, I'm not the only one yg bgn. Ramai gle yg bgn dr seat and tukar2 tmpt. Hehehe. Akhirnya, rezeki kami la dpt duk together. Tgk. X yah byr RM 5 pun. Rezeki kan? *hiks*hiks*

Dlm flight, FA edarkan borang utk msk other country. Oh by the way, Ayu x pnah mention plak destinasi honeymoon kami ye? I think ramai dh tau especially dlm BBF Group kan? We went to Krabi, Thailand. =) 

Once dh landed kt Krabi Airport, I was like. Hmm ni je? Sunyi je. I think klu Bangkok punya airport much more better kot. Krabi airport kecik je. X byk benda nk explore. Then, kami mmg x ambik airport transfer dr hotel kami. Mmg plan nk cr transportation once dh touch down Krabi. Konon nk adventure la. Kami berdua blur x tau nk ambik yg mana satu. Naik bus mmg la paling murah tp masalahnya, kami x tau nk stop kt mana nnti. Last2 kami naik private taxi je. Bayar 600 Bath = RM 60 for 2 person utk perjalanan dr airport ke hotel. Dlm 30-40 mins.

Sedikit info ttg mata wang Thailand. Senang gle nk convert Bath ke RM. 600 Bath = RM 60. 30 Bath = RM 3. Klu 25 Bath = RM 2.50. Easy right?

Hotel that we stayed was Ananta Burin Resort. Once smpi ke hotel, driver taxi kasi kad. Dia ckp, klu time nk blk nnti memerlukan taxi, call la dia. Dia bg kurang 100 Bath. Means perjalanan blk nnti depa ambik 500 Bath = RM 50 utk 2 org. 


After that terus check in. Before this, Ayu slalu survey2 and chit chat dengan one of the staff's hotel melalui email mahupun facebook. PR wise mmg sgt bagus. Cepat reply especially melalui email. For those yg nk tgk gmbr2 sekitar hotel ni, boleh bukak fb hotel ni here and here. We got free upgrade for deluxe room with pool view. 

Upon arriving

Perkara pertama kami wat, harusla record/snap gmbr mana yg patut. Oh ye. Time di Krabi adalah 1 jam lmbt berbanding M'sia. Senang je kan? Klu jam kami kul 1000, means kt Krabi br kul 0900. Time kami smpi hotel tu dlm kul 1500 lebih kot. Take note, kami x lunch lg. Ayu just mskkan maggi kari je utk 5rz. As for me, Ayu suka kemas segala barang2 dulu br dpt rest dgn tenang.

Mmg x request for honeymoon set up pun. That one will cause you extra money. Ikt la rezeki masing2. But this still nice right? No?

Shower

Bath Tub. Never use it :(

Our balcony. Suka ada penyidai kain tu. Baju senang kering

From 4th floor. Atas skali. Suka! Umie I can see your room from here. Hehe :D 

Tisu pun diaorg decorate. Brilliant!

Pintu msk toilet pun

Not much of the activities during the first day at Krabi. Lps late lunch, kami rehat2. Then klua utk dinner around 2115. One thing here. Restaurant semua ttp awal. 2200 hours dh ttp. Tp manalah kami nk tau. Klua bilik, tanya kt reception psl this Wangsai Seafood Restaurant. I know about this from a blogger yg honeymoon kt Krabi. I think you can find a lot of bloggers yg honeymoon kt Krabi. Insya-Allah I'll share the link later k? This blogger ckp, Wangsai Seafood ni x de halal cop tp we opt for seafood based la. Anything with seafood insya-Allah ok. Yg pntg, jgn ada was2.

So what did we ordered? For sure la Tom Yam Seafood. Plus telur dadar ngan ikan siakap stim. Telur dadar and tom yam kami mintak utk sorg. Tetiba yg dtg, masya-Allah. Byknye. Sudahnya x abis. Actually boleh je abiskan tp sbb kami dtg lmbt utk dinner. Depa kul 2200 dh ttp kedai. Terpaksala mam cepat2. Itu pun kami x larat dh. Rasa rugi gle.

Left to right : Telur dadar, Seafood tom yam, air kelapa

Siakap Stim. My fav! Sedap!!!!!

Ce tgk telur dadar utk sorg depa wat mcm mane? Punyalah besar. Kt M'sia klu minta utk 3 org mam pun x tentu besar gini kan?

Total burn = 720 Bath ~ RM 72
That seafood tom yam cost us 120 Bath = RM 12 if I'm not mistaken. For snapper plak, ikut brape gram. 450 Bath/gram ke 45 Bath/gram ntah. I think 450 Bath/gram. For that amount of money utk mknan sebegitu sedap, I think it's worth it. I loved tom yam so much. My all time fav. Dpt plak rasa tom yam Thailand. Pehhh!!! Sedap! Keesokkan hr nya, terkenang kenang lauk tu sbb x abis mam. Rugi2. :(

After dinner terus blk hotel. Lucky us, hotel kami ada channel Star Movie. Asyik dok tgk Star Movie jela kejanya. Nk tgk channel lain mmg x paham la gamaknya. And also Ayu ada bwk lappy sbb mmg dh plan one whole day kt Krabi nk spend utk tgk movies. 

That's all for Day 1 at Krabi.
