Final Year Crazy Graduation Roadtrip Day 1 - Trang (Kota Bahru -Trang -Krabi -Phuket-Hatyai)

This is definitely one of my my random, most crazy trip in my life. Straight away after our  dental professional exam result  coming out, 5 of us have started off a totally 700+km  roadtrip, across 4 state, without having any proper planning as we are totally not dare to plan any trip before result coming out...XD
                         

 2015/8/8, Saturday  Day 1 Trang

 We departed from Kota Bahru around 7am after having our breakfast so that we can reach Trang at afternoon.

Selfie in the car after meaw finally bring out his selfie stick

 Dun know what the purpose of this picture, may be she want to see Meaw nose is real or fake??

 Girls always like to act cute inside the car...haha

 surprisingly the road condition is damn smooth...highly recommended  for road trip

 that's the beautiful and pleasant Garden View hotel just right us after 6 hour road trip from Sungai Golok

We booked the double bed room, the room is so clean.

I will give it he rate 9/10 for its cleanness. The double room rate 

Is 600 baht per day with 300 baht for any additional bed.

Very friendly tourist police at Trang

This is the first meal for our trip. Due to time factor, we just
randomly eat at this restaurant but the economic rice surprisingly nice.

Two dishes for 40 baht, 3 dishes for 50 baht.

This is some vegetables with Thai chili sauce  This is free of charges !!

Highly recommended tourist agent Sai in Trang. Athough we did not follow her trip, she still explain every tourist spot in Trang for us, recommendeed us many nice food and place to hang out.

Since today is consider travel day for us and not much time for us to go to the Trang tourist spot.
Thus, we just walk around the Trang city landmark and explore Thailand local life style.
 This is the advantages  of road trip as you can walk everywhere u want and travel like a local...=D

We have our dinner as recommended by our new local friends . Although  the outlook of the restaurant seem like quite high class, actually the food inside is quite cheap.

 This was the dishes we ordered including green curry, kingsum, tong yam kong. All dishes are delicious  but quite spicy. Cautious for those who cant eat spicy like me...haha...

Surprisingly the total price for this meal is only 390 baht with 5 dishes!!

 We went back to hotel to plan our trip tomorrow,
 that is Ton Tae water fall and the famous Ruan Thai dim sim. 

Actually Trang still have attractions spot like emerald cave and some islands
 but its close during off-peak session and only reopen during Oktober. 

Since we will travel to Krabi and Phuket in next few days also,
this few islands spot in Trang actually not in our plan also.

Before we call it a day, supper session is a must for the guy..
The  beef noodle here is very delicious  and the portion is quite big also.
It just cost 50 baht per bowl !!!

 To be continued....

Day 4 - Emerald Pool, Hot Spring, Tiger Cave Temple,

Last but not the least, here comes the last day of our trip. We took the package offered by the local travel agent as usual because it is cheaper than the online travel agent and the price is negotiable. At first they offer us about 1200tb but eventually we cut down it till 600tb...haha...quite a big difference right?

We departed around 8.00am from our hotel. Although the weather is a bit rainy, luckily it did not affect our trip much.

a group picture snapped at the entrance of emerald pool...

the colouful rain coat can be easily get there if you forget to bring umbrella...

Emerald pool is natures miracle. Its a pond with crystal clear warm spring water which is completely see through. Its approach path is a beautiful walk through a beautiful rain forest. The pool is calm and the water is lovely. The only problem is getting into & out of the pool. It is very slippery, with moss all around the pool. Please be extremely careful while standing around the pool. Once you enter the pool its just heaven. You have to see it for yourselves to believe how beautiful it is. Definitely a must see.

a group picture there with our "uniform"...XD

After that, we were informed that there is a nicer emerald pool if we went further through a jungle.

and of course, we choose to walk further....haha

and TADAA

This is another emerald pool with the brighter colour...haha...

Since we are not allow to swim here, we took a group photo before we left...=)

We went to enjoy the hot spring after the tiring jungle trekking and that's our new friends from Perak,

However, the temperature of the water was not as hot as we expected from the hot spring.

We have our lunch which was included in the package and prepare to go for Tiger Cave Temple.

Because of rainy weather and slippery staircase, we cancel our plan to climb up to the Tiger Cave temple. The temple has two short stairways that then merges leading to one single stairway leading to the summit, amassing to a total number of 1272 small steps. So we just have a visit to the temple around and have a look for it.

we have a chill out time at our hostel with some drinks and games.

Luckily the room is a bit dim...if not will see some redness appear on someone forehead...lol

Quite a memorable night.

And that's mark the ends of our memorable Krabi trip...haha...

Looking forward to have others trip with you all...=)

Day 3 - Phi Phi Island Speed boat trip

It is the third day, Phi Phi Island trip !!!...compare to few day before it, today weather is so much better...

Everyone smiling face to welcome the nice weather...

Group photo while waiting at the travel centre there...

a tour guide that insist to take pic with gals with guys in front...ehem...pei fu for his thick skinness...

We suddenly feel that we are so rich in the speed boat after yesterday adventurous long tail boat experience...haha....

this is the first beach we went for the phi phi island, bamboo island...the colour tone of the sea here is vvv nice as seen in this picture...just we just spend a while here as today is not private trip anymore...

After that we start to snorkelling at few spot around phi phi island...

the water there is so clear...just most of the coral there is not as colourful as we imagine...can said is mostly dead aredi...but there is lots of fish there la ( like ikan belis as yan ming boss describe...haha..)

Some nice scene picture around the snorkelling spot...=)

Monkeys at the Monkey bay there...just know that monkey also know how to swim...

Photo with the Monkey bay there...

After that, we had our lunch at Phi Phi Don Island there.The lunch is buffet style, really satisfied with it.After that, we walked around the Island and thats some nice scene there...=)

Some nice scene beside the beach

left my master piece before leaving the Island...even the wave tak sampai hati to destroy it...haha...=)

It's dinner time !!...After comparing the price and environment of the seafood restaurant around there, we found out that the price and the interior design there also almost the same. Again, here come our boss Yan Ming decided to choose this restaurant, Bamboo Restaurant, just because a simple reason...their rich is cheaper, 19 baht compared to 30 baht beside the store...

A group picture with the nice environment there...

Seriously the dishes there really very fresh and cheap...and before  we left, the restaurant also crowded with ppl aredi...I think the 30 baht restauarant beside will be very regretted coz his shop is almost empty...haha...in this tourist spot, most of the ppl will just go inside the shop just because the shop gt more ppl, and we gt 8 ppl there....may be if they agree to give us discount at the rice, the result may be not the same...

This is the coffee shop that Joe strongly recommended, Black Canyon cafe...the coffee there is gt the Starbuck quality but far more cheaper...a very nice hang out place with friends...

It's mark the end of our third day trip...ya, we also have bought our trip T-shirt before going back to hotel...haha... Perhaps this is a must for group travelling?...XD

To be continue

Our last trip package, Emerald Pool, Hot Spring, Tiger Cave Temple...=)
