Day 4: Krabi Adventure Begins! 4 Islands Tour

2008-03-08, Krabi, Thailand

Well, this trip was planned like 6-8 months in advance, so OF COURSE I already browse through what activities can be performed there he he… One of the tour package that interest me was the 4 Islands Tour using long tail boat (350 bath; discounted from 450 bath). It’s basically a tour to 4 different islands near Krabi.

Was it worth it? Yes! The pictures speaks for itself. These were NOT photoshopped at all btw. It’s gorgeous as is! In this trip I picked up a new hobby: snorkeling! (the tools are part of the package tour btw).

Islands visited:
1. Phra Nang Cave  nice sandbanks, with caves and site for rock climbing (at first I was planning to try that as well; but my arms and legs still not strong enough despites of those long hours at gym hiks hiks)
2. Poda Island  turquoise sea; a bit dirty though.
3. Tup Island  white powdery sands, linked to another island where you can walk in between when the tide is low. Good snorkeling place.
4. Chicken Island  great snorkeling place with chicken-head-shape islands

Chubby Traveller’s rating: 3 / 5

TIPS: Actually they have packages using speed boat (more expensive of course – about 1000 bath); but a tip that I got; for this 4 islands tour, the long tail boat will be sufficient since the islands are nearby.
