Escapades : Krabi 1
9:46:00 PM
I have been wanting to blog about the spontaneous short getaway to the gorgeous and colourful Krabi, Thailand. The husband bought the tickets and reserved the hotel just a day before we flew to Thailand that 14th May 2014.
14.5.14.
We just felt like getting away from the hustle and bustle of the city. No one knew where we were headed and where we went until we came back. Not even our family members.
We just wanted to be on our own. Just us two.
Away from it all.
And we managed to get just that.
It was an awesome trip. Krabi is amazing! I will definitely drop everything and go there again if I have the chance to. We thought it was going to be a small island retreat but it turned out that there were so many things to do there. 5 days and 4 nights there wasn't enough, could you believe it?
The sea, sand, sun and sea breeze. There's no other words needed to explain the lovely feeling.
There's just something about the beautiful clear waters... Subhanallah, God is Great. Observing His creations just shows me how small we all are, how insignificant we are compared to the whole wide world and the universe that He has created. We are small. Tiny.
There are no problems that are too big. If we feel that any problem is so big, just look at the sea. Look at the sky. And we will realise that our problems are just too small for us to mention. Look at what He has given us instead. Look at what He has created. Reflect.
Anyways, as an introductory post for my Krabi trip, I am sharing my IG diary of Krabi I shared at @rnadiasabrina in reverse order. The photos plus the unchanged caption.
I will blog more and in detail on the trip. The places I went to, the boat rides, the activities, snorkeling, the scrumptious food, the hotel, what to wear to swim or to the beach if you are no longer comfortable to wear a bikini! :p This is just a teaser post! Hehe. More awesome pictures and stories on the trip coming soon here on the blog.
In the meantime, enjoy the photos below and go plan a trip to Krabi! :D
Randomly singing ~~~ A whole new world {Disney's Aladdin song} Who remembers that song? I am not the only one right, right?! Hehe.

Off we go in search of a private beach. Not this one though, too many people. @kneok Happy Friday everyone. :) |
@kneok & I were on a ride with this adorable little girl and her family just now. I just had to ask her mother's permission to take her photo! Too pretty! |
Thank you Abah. Didn't realize you took this shot of @kneok & I. :)

Good morning and goodbye Kuala Lumpur. :) |
Anyway, my husband thought (and believed!!!) that the meaning of Krabi was Crab Island.. I admit it did kind of make logical sense... until I googled the meaning of Krabi to confirm his theory:
There are two legends mentioning the meaning of "Krabi". The first had it that villagers presented a large ancient sword (krabi in Thai) they discovered by chance to the governor. They also did the same thing when a smaller one was found later. Regarded as sacred and auspicious, the governor would like to keep them in the province. But the provincial establishment was still in progress, so they were placed crossing each other in the cave named Khao Khanap Nam. This was the origin of the province's emblem.
The second legend had it that "Krabi" was derived from a name of local tree "Lumphi". The Malay and Chinese merchants made its pronunciation slightly corrupted and became "Ka-lu-bi" or "Kho-lo-bi", which finally turned to "Krabi" (sword).
Silly theory debunked!
If you have any questions on the trip, drop a comment below and I will try to answer in my next post on Krabi! :)
PEACE & LOVE!
