the resort was recommended by franz, an officemate from spi.
the plan is simple. wait, what plan?
i guess we'll just fly to krabi on the 28th, relax like a sloth, roam around the islands like tourists do, burn our skin, eat like horses, and fly back to singapore on the 31st. sounds like a plan to me. :)
i took some pics from their website. looking forward to these!
kuya suggested that we should also go to bangkok to visit the night markets, food stalls, and the city proper. i was initially enticed, but our booked flight was from singapore to krabi, and not bangkok. i searched for domestic flights from krabi to bangkok and found crazy rates. i immediately scratched that off our list.
next, i got attracted to the idea of taking the 12-hr night train from krabi to bangkok. i read that the trains in thailand are safe and comfortable. a lot of tourists also recommend this route based on good experience. plus, i've never tried taking a night train so the idea really sounds so inviting. i could sing, "i'm leaving on a midnight train to bangkok! i'd rather live in his world than live without him in mine!" ayun o! asian version!
however, we realized that we would need an extra day for this. four days might not be enough. this means we have to rebook our flight and that is not an option.
to make things simple, we decided to just stay put in the resort for the entire 4 days. that's what you call planning like a hustler. pro na pro sa planning diba?
ps:
i learned from a colleague that you would not really learn much about a country by staying in the sparkly confines of a beach resort. a good way to travel is by immersing to the "real" culture of the place you are visiting, and you cannot achieve this by visiting resorts and drinking coconut juice while dozing off in a hammock.
he has a point and i like the idea. but not as much as i like beaches. hehehe. i told mike that for the next travel, we'll do mr. colleague's suggestion + visit a beach too. beach bum.
excited!
