Day 1 In Krabi
Travel in Krabi
Most People who go to Krabi usually admit that they have fallen in love with this small province located alo
ng the Andaman Sea Coast in Southern Thailand. So do I. Due to its diversity of nation resources, Krabi is among the most popular seaside destination in Southeast Asia. For a long time now, ever since the very first groups of tourists entered this town, and especially now that Krabi has become better know as the location for a Hollywood blockbuster, it seems that all the tourist attractions in Krabi have been totally explored. Here, I disagree. There still a lot more unexplored attractive places in Krabi waiting to be discovered. And this is the reason I visited Krabi the last time.
Day 1 In Krabi
“what a beautiful sunny day!” I said to myself after getting up in the morning. The weather was quite perfect and the sky was very blue. I was sitting at the resort’s restaurant having my breakfast, facing the turquoise ocean, with a slight sea breeze blowing past me. I wished I could have someone sitting beside me at this noteworthy moment. Although I was not yet finished with my daydream, I had to rush off to Ao Nang to catch the boat trip to explore Krabi seashores.
Ao nang Beach is a tourist community. All kinds of tourist facilities can be found there, including boat services. I decided to hire a long-tail motor boat to Poda Island, one of the popular tourist destinations in Krabi, Located 8 Kilometers from Ao Nang.
At Poda Island, I found that natural beauty still remains on every single inch of this small island, which is surrounded by smooth white sand. Poda Island is one of Krabi’s symbols tourism. Once I arrived at the front beach of Poda Island, I saw a huge pole-shape stone that impelled my imagination. The boatman told me that most tourists usually head to Poda Island for swimming and sunbathing because of its serenity and privacy.
For a while I walked on the beach, where I could see many tourists snorkeling. That was no the beach, where I could see many tourists snorkeling. That was no surprise, because Poda Island is encircled by plentiful coral reefs and tame marine fish. Divers can feed those fish by hand.
After Poda Island, I continued on to see the sandbanks that connect between Kai Island, Tup Island and Mo Island. Local people have named this natural phenomenon “Thale Waek,” literally translated as “separated sea.” The sandbanks will appear when the tide is low, so that people can walk freely among the three island. Before you visit, you should check the level of the tide, though, because each day tide has different levels.
My next marine destination was Kai Island, which literally means “Chicken Island” because one stone on the island is naturally shaped like head, Some people see it as a woodpecker. For me, I imagined it to be an Egyptian Sphinx.
I spent the end of the day cruising around Kai Island. At twilight, while the sun was falling down into the vast ocean, the reflection between the red sky and the emerald-colored water created the most romantic atmosphere. I was transfixed by that heavenly scene. My weariness from the busy day of sightseeing seemed to be relieved. At that dazzling moment, I was ready for the next day of adventure.
