Every time when I have to visit the place that I’ve never been before, I always happy and excited to explore the new places.
This is my first time in the south of Thailand… I was traveling to Krabi, the city with beautiful beaches and islands.
อ่าวนาง • Aonang
I stayed at Aonang, Krabi’s tourists center closed to the beach and boat pier. The weather there was so beautiful but too hot in the day time especially in noon and afternoon (I went there during 25th – 31th December).
The scenery was so great, I can see the mountains along two sides of the road while exploring the city by scooter. In the picture, I went to had a lunch at noodles restaurant not far from the hotel.
Walking on the beach …sit on the sand …and watching sunset are always the greatest thing to do when you visit the beach. I really love that moment!
After watching the sun falls beneath the horizon, I was walking around the street and looking for foods. Finally I found the restaurant and got foods …but it’s eating time, I guess I didn’t take a picture of my delicious foods.
Have you ever felt like you wanted to freeze the time as long as possible?
…when you’re at your favourite place.
วัดถ้ำเสือ • Tiger Cave Temple
This guy is a famous model, many people interested to take pictures of him. I’m the one of them who snapped many pictures by my film camera that I brought to this trip. It was my first roll of film for analog camera, I was so excited at that time because I thought that I’ll have many beautiful pictures after films development.
But a bad news is… I maybe made a mistake when I put the film roll in my camera. The result is I didn’t get any pictures of this trip after developed.
After walking 1,237 steps to the top of the mountain, I finally found the paradise and the fresh air. I don’t want to talk about the time that I spent during walking, it was so exhausted and thirsty in the hot weather. I almost to fall many times, but it was fun.
Once I had an exhausting time walking to the upstairs but finally spent a great time with beautiful weather there…
Big Buddha, the highlight of Tiger Cave Temple. I only have one digital picture of this big Buddha on my phone. Other pictures are gone with my analog equipments …
Monday Buddha (Making peace)
This is a standing Buddha pose, with the left hand hanging down by the side. The right hand is raised at the chest, palm facing outwards, in a singe-handed gesture. This posture represents “Preventing Calamities”, which is also known as “Pacifying the Relatives.”
A person born on a Monday is serious with a good memory and a love of travel. This person is likely to be in a skilled occupation.
Your lucky day is Saturday and unlucky day is Sunday.
Your lucky color is Black and unlucky color is Orange.

You might wonder why I have only a Monday Buddha picture, it’s because I was born on Monday. And didn’t take a picture of another day’s Buddha.
สุสานหอย • Shell Fossils Beach
Shell Fossils Beach is not far from Aonang Beach… I met many kids there, they were very excited about the fossils.
Papaya Salad is my all time favourite, it was perfect with beautiful view even it was not a delicious one.
I found the fastest runner of the beaches! Tons of these tiny creature at the Fossils Beach.
Here I found the rainbow!!! While I was walking on the beach… There was so calm and silence without tourists. But not so beautiful because of plastic trashes.
My favourite thing in Krabi… The Long-tail Boat! This is often used to transport tourists in some provinces in the south of Thailand.
สระมรกต • Emerald Pool (Sa Morakot)
After visiting hot springs pool that I didn’t take any picture, I went to The Emerald Pool in the jungle. Need to walk there for a while… The more you hear the sound of streams, the more you get closer to the pool. I didn’t take pictures of the pool because of many tourists. It was a good place to visit… I like everything there except tourists. I didn’t upload the pool’s picture here… Go see this amazing place by yourself!
Local foods at the restaurant in front of the jungle’s entrance are amazing too, it was very delicious and fresh! The left is Pad Sataw Goong (Stir-Fried Prawns with Bitter Bean) and the right is Octopus Fried.
เกาะปอดะ • Poda Island (Koh Poda)
I went to Poda Island by my favourite vehicle — a long-tail boat. The price for visit this island cost about 400฿ for foreigner (13 USD). Do you want to know how much for Thai people? …It cost about 40฿ (1.25 USD)
The crystal clear water island called Koh Poda. I can totally feel the beach vibe with sunshine, the sound of waves and winds. You’ll see fishes swimming around your body when you get into this clear water.
I spent time all day on the island …even I can’t swim! i can just lay on the water and walking around for finding fishes in the water.
After Poda Island and came back to Aonang… Fish Spa wasn’t a bad idea! It was my first time doing this, I don’t trust these fishes at the first place because it was ticklish. I’m not sure if I like it or not, was a weird feeling when they bite my feet.
Giant Catfish Farm
The farm owner and her little monkey called Daisy. She got bitten by a bigger monkey in the farm and the owner has to take care of her. Daisy became a reception at the time I went there. She was so cute and intelligent!
The price is 50฿ including fish food that you can feed the big fishes. There’s a small jungle …very calm for relaxing and spending time with animals and nature.
Daisy is my most favourite monkey! I was her favourite too… Don’t believe me?!
Look at her face when she looked at my camera… She really likes me!
วัดแก้วโกรวาราม
• Wat Kaew Korawaram Temple
The white temple with beautiful Thai architecture style. This temple is in the middle area of Krabi, not far from Krabi Town Night Market. I went there during the sunset hours and visit the night market after that.
There’s giant snakes like as every temple in Thailand.
ถนนคนเดินกระบี่ • Krabi Night Market
Here we go!!! This is the best place for foods lover like ME. Lots of sea foods, street foods and local foods here.
Coconut Milk Ice Cream with coconut and mango sauce topping in coconut shell!!!
I ate some foods there and brought some back to Aonang beach and ate at the seashore.
” It was the best night of my trip in Krabi…
Thank you Antoine for joining my trip and took me to visit all of these amazing places.”
