Hairstyle Updates: Krabi Part I -Accommodation

Krabi

I am a noob when it comes to travelling around Southeast Asia. That's why until today, I've only been to a Bangkok, Singapore, Bali and now Krabi. Even the infamous Phuket I have not set foot on. I am really left behind. The reason why I chose Krabi because it's less-travelled by compared to Phuket and I thought all the islands/beaches would looked almost the same to me so it doesn't really matter.

"Krabi is southern Thailand's most beautiful province with a well preserved natural environment of white sandy beaches, numerous offshore islands for exploration and swimming, national parks, mangrove forests, limestone karsts that are popular with climbers, excellent dive sites, and an easy-going lifestyle".

Air Asia and Car ride to Hotel

I flew on Air Asia and then from the airport, I took a MPV to the hotel. The ride was fun because the interior of the car is so nifty and it's only around 90 baht per person for a 40mins journey. I think it was an Alphard...

Managed to get an Air Asia package with accommodation at around RM1300 for 3 nights I think. It was in May, so I couldn't really remember. I think it would be cheaper if you shared the rooms. My friends and I chose to stay at Pakasai Resort in Ao Nang. It's a 4 star resort hotel situated at the famous Ao Nang beach which is around 40 mins drive from airport and around 15-20mins from Krabi town.

The Superior Room

This resort hotel is situated a little further away from the shops mainly because of its natural setting and away from the hustle and bustle of town. Even the lobby has a very nice minimalist design and no air con or fan is in sight and thus it can be a little hot in the afternoon while waiting there. The swimming pool is situated on top of the restaurant and it's very interesting since you can look down from the pool to the street below.

The chalets are spaced throughout the tropical gardens, rising up the hillside so that guests can enjoy relaxing views of the greenery and, on the higher levels, the sea. Executive accommodation is located in two low-rise wings close to the conference room and lobby. The superior room that I had is the cheapest at the resort. The prices start from RM600/night from the net but you can get quite a good deal when you book it together with the Air Asia travel package. They have executive rooms and suites with balcony and bath tubs which offer the total relaxation package.

Besides the nice rooms that they offer, there are other facilities like gym and spa. The Adora Spa is really a relaxing place to be when on holiday which I shall cover in the coming posts. There's also two computers with internet for your usage at the coffee house.
