Weekend Getaway (Part 1)

Trip to krabi was indeed a wonderful getaway from the usual life in singapore. the place seems so secluded that you cannot do anything much except nua, unless you do mountain climbing.. didn't know what to expect of the place before going cos i have never heard of this place before and i didn't have time to check it out on the web. so we just tried our luck in booking a hotel that seems alright.

It was my first time on tiger and also my first time boarding from the budget terminal. initially i thought the only place i can find food is han's but upon checking in, there are quite a few food outlets including o'briens.
Boarding pass came in a form of a printed reciept, really budget. and we took tha chance to grab some duty free liquor for consumption at krabi. we even brought our own in flight entertainment system.
We booked a room for 3, but 4 of us are staying, so in order not to let the staff know that there are 4 of us, we decided to not take the airport transport service by the hotel, and tried to make our own way there (wrong move). at the airport, we enquired on how to get to railay bay, and was told to take a cab to ao nang beach, then take a longtail boat to ferry us across to the bay. seems easy. we paid for the cab @ 200baht each to pier. upon reaching the pier 45mins later, we were told that water conditions was not good and boats are not going out, so we gotta pay another 50baht each for the cab to get us to the other pier at ao namao. 15 mins later finally reached the super lok kok pier and luckily they have boats going across. but we have to wait till there was 8 person. waited for 30 mins and no one was there, it;s nearly 10pm at night.. and we offered to pay for 8 persons for them to get us across!! yes that's another 140 baht a person. reached railay bay, on the easy side, and our hotel is on the west side.. now we have to walk ....... blah blah .. finally got to our room, and spent more that what we would have if we took up the airport transfer service!!!
Anyway, the place was good. i felt that for S$150 a night for this room for 3, it's really worth it. the room was big and clean, breakfast was good, nice scenery, good service. i really recommend this place (railay bay resort and spa) if any of you guys are looking for a good place to stay at railay bay. will post more later!!...
