My sense of Krabi.

Aye, my serious procastination problem is acting up again and yes, i finally got my lazy fingers typing now about the recent trip to Krabi.

Although i have been back for a week now, the memories there are still very much afresh in my mind. The people, the smell of Krabi, the mesmerizing nature is still etched deeply in my thoughts.

I was alittle apprehensive in the begining, wondering if it would be a commercialised, hard sell touristy kinda island.

Boy, was i so wrong.

The people there are really so friendly and we made alot of friends while there. South Africans, Brazillians, Irish, Norwegians and even the local thais who are always without a smile.

Althought there were so much more caucasians there than Chinese, we don't feel out of place at all. Because everyone there has the same purpose visiting Krabi - getting away from the demands of reality.

As i am more of a nature than shopping kinda girl, Krabi was perfect for me.

Every single day, I would look forward to its beautiful sunset. Just by watching it, I forget much.

My worries, my pains, my woes fade.

We went for a day's tour to Phi Phi Island and a few others and really, the beaches there blew me away.

I look ahead where the sea never ends and where the mountains stood majestically, I never felt so peaceful before. 

Snorkelling there was really great too, the water was clear, the fishes aplenty and the weather was perfect.

Love it, love it, love it.

We went mangroves kayaking as well and man, i would and will say it again, I would urge you to go for this if you ain't afraid of water and mozzies.

It is tiring yeah, because your un-muscular arms would have to be rowing almost the entire stretch of river. 

BUT. Just but. When you reach the desired destination, where nature abounds and surrounds you entirely, trust me, you will be so very glad that you rowed so damn hard.

There were 8 kayaks in all and when we reached the Garden Of Eden as what the locals called this little spot in the mangroves, no one spoke.

No one moved, silence speaks.

It was so beautiful that i remembered thinking to myself that, i would be so fulfilled, if i can come by here every single day, just to immerse myself in its beauty.

Sometimes, we get so caught up by the reality of this world, trying so badly to survive in this society, we fail to take a step back and just appreciate.

Appreciating what have been given to us without a price.

Krabi has really touched me deeply. It is only a pity that we didn't have time to do trekking in the mountains but i have more than enough beautiful memories to bring back home.

Travelling in such places and witnessing God's handiworks like this makes me feel living finally feels worthwhile.

I look forward to my next destination next year. I hold tightly to this sense of fulfillment i've gotten from Krabi till the next.

Wait for me, Beautiful World. This little traveller is coming.
