Krabi!! 1st Getaway - 2014

I was sitting in my office on a wonderful day when suddenly I received a call from my friend, Kayadthry. 'Shal, the AirAsia ticket to Krabi is so cheap!!It's just RM199. How?You wana come along?'I was stunned! And being an impulsive person, I immediately said yes! So there it happened, the booking of tickets. Three of us was in the plan (as you know Kayad is in too & me), Vincent - Kayad's friend who then became my friend.

We started off by creating the group chat in WhatsApp - easier way to communicate with people nowadays (because you can see their last seen..hehehe). The tasks were segregated among us to find place to stay, activities to do. We browsed through a lot of blogs and websites and finally settled with www.tripadvisor.com to advise us mostly on the activities to do there. 

Oh, have I not mentioned the dates? We scheduled the holiday on the 7th-10th February 2014 (I came back 1 day before my birthday). So yes,back to planning for this holiday, all three of us met in Primo's Cafe,Bukit Tinggi. We decided together to book the Glur Hostel in Ao Nang (It had so many good remarks about the hospitality & service - i gotta agree 100% with that).It was a fun meet up so I was really excited.

I wouldn't want to drag any longer for this post as i have plenty of pictures to be shared with all of you!!
