Went to Krabi with my wife during 2nd day of CNY. Was planning to go either Phuket or Krabi (since both offer same island tour) ended up we choose Krabi cause it's idea for relaxing. Phuket is nice, but too commercial... prefer the small town feel of Krabi.
This is the hotel we were staying. Sala Talay Resort & Spa.

Yeah, Krabi is really nice and beautiful place. There, I spend around Rm1500++ including air ticket, accommodation, meals etc…My advise is that not to bring too much cash and used USD because it is accepted everywhere. Use credit card will be recommended.
-
yalo me agree to.. bring credit card la.. so easy and convenient!
and there's some benefit that u can enjoy by using it, like collect points, and then insurance coverage :)
-
This time, I wonder if anyone has heard about the new (non watch related) credit card or not? Bump into their ads on newspaper the other day…Very attractive meh, can get 1st flight for free! Awesome!
-
sure or not... where got promotion like this.. I think it should be contest.... join and win la...
-
yes! not contest la.. just go sign up, and u can get 40k points and 15% discount on hotel and land packages already!!
oh ya, the best one is that you can redeem the points collected for flight ticket!!! from MAS, SIA, AIRASIA.. cool right??

Thats my next destination plan to Krabi.
Just waiting to save some funds.
How was the safety over there?
