Honeymoon in Krabi - Day 2

It rained heavily when we woke up. I've already had the feeling that our island hopping trip will be canceled due to the rain. But Hubby was very positive about things and invited me for breakfast, while waiting for the rain to stop, was really wishing and hoping.
It was our first day having breakfast in La Playa. I love breakfast because it is the only meal with so many varieties. Other than having fruits, it was save to opt for cereal, salad and breads :)
No more rain at that time and the sun was coming out. But unfortunately, the trip to Phi Phi was still cancelled due to the sea condition after the rain. Fine I said, and told Hubby to ask for other option to opt for on that day. We finally agreed to switch our Phi Phi Island Tour with Krabi Rainforest Tour. But we were unlucky again because the agent for Krabi Rainforest Tour had already left for the tour at 830AM. Sigh.
Seeing our dissapointment, Honey, the hotel receptionist, offered a private tour to Krabi Rainforest by hotel transportation. And they actually offered a cheaper price that the real Krabi Rainforest Tour. For only 1800 Baht, the driver will drove us to Emerald Pool and Hot Spring Waterfall and also Tiger Cave Temple. But we will need to pay for our own tix to Emerald Pool i.e 400 Baht for two person for Emerald Pool and 200 Baht for 2 person in Hot Spring Waterfall.
Hurrah!! I sing happily along our way to our first pit stop i.e Emerald Pool. A friend also went for Honeymoon in Krabi loves Emerald Pool so much and mention Emerald Pool is a must place to go. The trip to Emerald Pool took only about 30 minutes.
Emerald Pool is like hutan lipur in Malaysia. At the entrance you will need to pay the 200 Baht ticket per person and no outside food will be allowed. I actually packed some breads and tuna as our food for picnic, but then it was confiscated at the entrance. They keep the food and asked us to claim it on our way back. Hihihi.
From the entrance, it took about 10 minutes walk to reach Emerald Pool. There was another pool called Blue Pool, but it was way to far i.e almost 2km from the entrance. So kami pergi ke Emerald Pool saja. But then memang tak menghampakan lah. Emerald Pool memang cantik! The water is emerald in colour, very clear and tak dalam, only takat my leher.

It was the right place for us to test our waterproof casing for our Sony camera. The result was impressive.

After spending one hour in Emerald Pool, kami berangkat ke Hot Spring Waterfall. Sebelum tu kami tak lupa lah nak amik roti and tuna kami yang kena confiscate kat entrance tadi. Hot Spring Waterfall took only 10 minutes drive from Emerald Pool. There is no entrance fee but the 200 Baht we were paying was actually the parking fee for our hotel car.
Hot Spring Waterfall ini tak de lah panas sangat. Tapi seronok jugaklah. When we arrived, there were few Chinese whom look like Malaysian conquering the place. Airnyer agak keruh so tak dapat nak snap photos bawah air. Hubby actually like it more in Emerald Pool compared to this one. Same goes to me!

Lepas one hour berendam, kami berangkat pulang. The driver wanted to bring us to Tiger Cave Temple but Hubby was not very keen in visiting temples so the drive brought us to gifts shop to shop for goodie. Both of us grab few goodies for families and friends i.e cashew nuts, postcards, keychain and Krabi fridge magnet. A must thing for me to do each time I travel is getting the fridge magnet. Yang ada tulis nama country of course. After that we headed back home. On our way back jumpe banyak masjid. This is one of it.

Well people, the real Krabi Rainforest Tour ni selalunyer ambil masa satu hari, from 9AM till 4PM. They will bring you to Emerald Pool, Hot Spring Waterfall, Tiger Cave Temple and some even have Elephant Ride too. Whatever it is, if you happen to be in Krabi, Emerald Pool is a must place to go ok.
When we reached the hotel, it was already 2PM. For lunch, we had homemade tuna sandwiches (kami bawak roti Gardenia and Ayam Brand tuna mayonaise). We rested for a while before embarking another exciting journey to the Thai Night Market! We took tuk-tuk to the market, which was about 10 minutes from hotel and it costs us 200 Baht pergi dan balik i.e 5o Baht satu hala per person. Thai Night Market is like pasar malam ni Malaysia, so many food, fruits and even bahan basah like ikan, udang, sayur untuk di beli. I didn't buy anything sebab tak berani nak makan apa-apa from the pasar huhu. Hubby brought some kuih which look like apam balik and air kelapa. Lepas jalan-jalan amik gambar at the pasar malam, we headed back to Ao Nang. The tuk-tuk driver was such a nice person, die bawak kitaorang jalan-jalan around Ao Nang area. And then we requested for him to drop us at Ao Nang beaches so we can jalan-jalan kat kedai di situ. Masa tengah jalan-jalan, suddenly there was a heavy downpour. Nasib baik lah kitaroang bawak payung :)

Hubby sorang je yang makan ape yang die beli (/me tak berani sentuh pon) haha.
Even though it was raining heavily, kitaorang redah je hujan tu and walked back to our hotel, which was about 10 minutes from Ao Nang. Seronok jugak dapat main hujan once in a while. Malam tu stay kat hotel je sebab hujan lebat. Lagipun the TV was playing PS I Love You. Apa lagi, layan je lah kan :D
