Krabi: Koh Phi Phi

page

After a bit of procrastination, I have decided to post some photos from my recent Krabi trip! I stayed 2 nights at Phi Phi island and another 2 nights at Ao Nang. Phi Phi is relatively small and you can explore the entire place by foot. There are rows and rows of shops selling pretty much the same things and you can easily find cheap accommodation too.

After a total of about 5 hours on the plane and ferry, my travel partner, PR and I were tired and famished. After walking around a bit, our first lunch stop was at The Pizza Corner because it was situated by the beach and we wanted a good view ๐Ÿ™‚ Too bad, the service was really wols and we finished our drinks while waiting for our food.

Yay! After waiting and waiting and waiting.. ๐Ÿ˜› I find that whenever I’m in a foreign country, it’s quite difficult to decide on what to eat because I wanna try something which cannot be found here in Singapore. But everything looks the same in the menu, I really cannot differentiate one from the other.

Don’t laugh at me but in the end I ordered something that sounds boring, Noodle Soup with Chicken (80 baht ~ $3.50). Luckily, everything about it was awesome! From the delicious piping hot soup, to the silky smooth glass noodles. I’m a happy girl ๐Ÿ˜€

PR claimed that she wasn’t feeling hungry and proceeded to order the Chicken Burger with Fries (70 baht ~ $3) which puzzled me quite a bit. Burgers are supposed to be very filling right? Plus this burger is just huge.

The chicken fillet was crispy, albeit a little too salty for PR’s liking. I didn’t understand why she ordered a western dish in Thailand though. Comfort food I suppose?

And here’s the funny part. PR asked for chilli sauce to go with her burger and the waitress came back 5 minutes later.. “Here’s your chilli and sauce”. Hahaha!

This is where PR and I had our dinner. We figured that Pum Thai Restaurant & Cooking School is the best place to go to if we wanted authentic Thai cuisine. Pum emphasises simplicity, and even claims that they have simplified simplicity. Their dishes are based on traditional Thai cuisine adapted for a modern, fast paced world. The plus point was that Pum is also a cooking school. That in itself is testimony to good authentic Thai food! ๐Ÿ™‚

Maybe it’s just me but I have always thought that lemongrass is only used to cook tomyam soup or stir fried with other vegetables. So when I saw the Nam Takrai (69 baht ~ $3) or Iced Lemongrass Drink, I just had to order it. It’s actually quite tasteless, just fragrant and refreshing.

Yup noodles again! The Phad Siewe (109 baht ~ $4.70) is lightly stir fried in sweet soy sauce. It was also a little spicy and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Anyway, I still can’t figure out the difference between this and Phad Thai. All other noodles dishes that I tried in Krabi are more or less the same! Can someone enlighten me on this? ๐Ÿ™‚

On our way back to our room at Kinnaree House, we stopped by Pirates House for a nightcap. Very interesting theme for a restaurant! A pity the waiters weren’t dressed as Jack Sparrow.

Credits to PR. Didn’t know that she took a photo of me taking a photo of my drink ๐Ÿ˜›

Always my safest choice, Lime Margarita. Oops! Forgot to take down the prices. Heh..

PR’s Pirate’s Blood. Ooh scary. The paper umbrella reminds me of my childhood days!

Went diving with Princess Divers the next day! Bimbotic name but I like. ๐Ÿ˜›

See how much I love noodles? We were given a menu when we booked our dives the day before and I chose Phad Thai! This was with chicken to be exact. Phad Thai can also be served with beef, seafood and pork.

That’s all for Koh Phi Phi at Krabi! Next up, Ao Nang! ๐Ÿ˜‰
