GT2009 Batch 2 Version 2

Dear all, just arrived safely and exhausted at 11pm last night. GT2009 Krabi is really eventful and I personally enjoyed it to the fullest. Below are my recollection, but I will tend to tell more about our different experience compared to the 1st batch:

Day 1 : arrived at phuket custom and took us about 2o mins to clear (compared to 2 + hours?? in 1st batch). So no one is hungry and eat my bak kua bought. :(

It was drizzing on our way to Krabi, so we did not stop at the bridge, we go PangaBay resort to have dinner instead. Quite a smooth ride into Krabi after that. Received good news and bad news along thw way...Bad news 1st : Man Utd lost and good news is I won some prize in DnD :)

Day 2 : We went for ATV (All terrain vehicle) 1st, after 1 round in the farm yard...2 overturn vehicles (1 pinned down and 1 fly off), 2 lost control and crash into the side drain, and 1 non-stop screaming girl who has sore throat the next day.


Then we rush for the River rafting. Maybe I should say Mass rafting. There are like 30 raft about to go when we arrive and the saftey instructions are anyhow say and off we go!! In our raft we dun even have a paddle!!! The 2 guides in the raft do all the hardwork and we just sit back and enjoy the ride and splash water at each other for fun.

I still like the Bali experience abit more cos we are moreinvolved and more exclusive in the jungle...this one is really too many rafts along the way to enjoy the ride.

After that we decided to skip the elephant show and go for the hot spring pool instead. It turn out to be a very wise choice. it was abit drizzling and all of us enjoyed soaking in the various pools and playing in the main stream.




Went for another hot spring also...tempertaure is even higher, and we can only dare to soak our legs into the pool.

Evening time we shop at and eat Krabi town. Then on our way back to hotel...stop at the beach market and hunt for the waterproof pouch...finally found that store and we bought 10 pouches altogether!!

Then we gather in the room to play cards and drink coke / baileys till all bottles are empty.

Day 3 is the island hopping trip. we brought 9 loafs of bread with us and spent 1.5 hours snorkling at 2 different sites. Kabir went crazy seeing so many fishes around him. We use the bread as weapons, throwing them at each other, cos the fishes will then attack the bread and in turn bit us by mistake at times.





Weather is not too not, rather downcast instead so we do not have much sunburnt. We also chase the swamp of tiny fishes in Phiphi island / feed the monkeys+ eat water melon at monkey island and walked the shllow passage at low tide too.




Evening time sine it was drizzling abit so we skip the sunset watch and rush to hotel for our badly needed shower. Dinner is in the beach zhi-cha stall. Then we all go crazy about t shirt shopping...bought at least 8-10 each for the girls and I bought 6 jerseys and 2 t shirts for the whole family. Also bought mango sticky rice...which we all tried very hard to finish teh whole thing by playing ZZMM.


Day 3 is totally redesign from last group. We went Para-sailings on the beach 1st, then to Go-karting, then to shooting range for live rifle shooting, then for the local Hokkian mee with baileys. (the guide Naring are now hooked with baileys now i think).


After check out, we headed for teh Karon Viewpoint, still have time for 2 hour massage (shopping in town for those still have energy). Finally b4 reaching the airport, we still manage to squeezt time to visit the local market nearby for mango shopping.


I really enjoyed this trip myself...hope the est of the 8 members feel the same way too!!
