--- DAY 1---

For the first day, we stay overnight at Alor Setar at Genial Garden Hotel and depart to Bukit Kayu Hitam Checkpoint the next day. Before drove into Danok, we had bought the car insurance at the place near the custom.

Friendly reminder: Better to depart to the checkpoint early in the morning as we have spent 2 hours at the checkpoint!!!

--- Day 2 ---

After that, we depart directly to Krabi which required another 5 hours plus to reach Ao Nang, Krabi. During the journey, we have our KFC lunch at Tesco Sadao. Their loaded bowl was simply the best!

Then, we checked in Ao Nang Miti Resort and find a nearer place to have our dinner.

Since we have our Malay colleague together, all the food we had were Halal. And there was not a problem to find Halal food as I can see a lot of Halal restaurant at Ao Nang.

After we had our dinner, we took a Tuk Tuk to the nearest night market which near a Mosque.

We found that actually, we can go there by foot because it was located just a stone thrown away from our resort. The night market quite small and we continue to walk until the Ao Nang Beach. There are a lot of bars, restaurants, massage shop and tour agency along the road. While waiting for friends buying stuff at 7-Eleven, I had the famous choco banana pancake!

At the same time, we had found a package for island hoping and try to negotiate for the price. At last, we had chosen the Phi Phi Island Tour! The small counter just beside Ao-Nang Kuang Paow Halalfood Restaurant.

After settled our next day schedule, we went to Ao Nang Beach. The night was still young as I saw a lot of people relax on the beach and band singing in the café. Kinda relax!

We walk until the end of the beach and had a drink. One of my colleagues a drink with a funny name “Sex on the Beach”!! After that, we went back to resort to have a rest.
