It all started with eh jom lah pi Krabi. And a bit push from the already pengantin who recommended us on this, we certainly had a great experience and lots of photos to share!
Boarded the Airasia plane at 12.50pm. On the plane, we make silent doa to be protected throughout the journey to and fro. Without no basic language of Thailand (at all!), well Juwai did download the learning dictionary app, we bismillahi tawakkaltu alal Allah.

From airport, we took taxi which cost us 600 baht. Headed straight to our hotel, Aonang Cliff View Resort Hotel. We quickly have a quick rest, bathe and prepare to book our activities for the next day. Our hotel has a free transportation (well I guess it's included in the hotel payment) to bring us outside. It's 'outside' because our hotel was, erm quite ulu. But it's okay, because Singaporeans (like us. Haha) really need a break from city life and a bit of kampung life would do us good.
Booked our activities for the next two days. We did get a really good price alhamdulillah. 2500 baht per person. Activities include island hopping, elephant trekking and ATV (all terrain vehicle). All of this include fetching and sending us back to our hotel. We are satisfied customers alhamdulillah.

| Been looking forward to this activity since ages! Finally! |
 |
| First time snorkelling. Scared to bits but super fun! |
 |
| This is super breath-taking scenary subhanallah! |
Visiting Thailand without Tomyam is incomplete. We did get to taste a delicious kind of Tomyam soup that we just have to visit again the shop before we leave back to homeland. The first time we have for dinner was tomyam soup with plain rice, steamed fish with lemon, squid tempura and Mango Salad (or known as Kerabu). The second time, I had was tomyam noodle for dinner too. (Perangai gemuk makan malam-malam). This time, the gravy was quite thick and it was not comparable to the first one. So the third time, we dined in at the first-time restaurant and ordered Tomyam soup again.

Thai people are very gentle, polite and soft-spoken people. They remind us of Syrian people; how soft-spoken their language and the way they spoke. As said by Shahirah, aku tak tau nak marah dorang macam mana. Lembut sangat bebual. Another good point is that, they are generous with pineapples and watermelon. They always served us with these kinds of fruits. The pineapple is very sweet.

| Nicely cut of pineapples. |
When it comes to shopping, boleh *pengsan*. I'm not a shopaholic so I know my limit but it drives me quuite crazy to see good material kinds of begs that I just have to convert more Sing. dollars to Baht Thai.
Some of the foods that we tried,

| Banana nutella pancakes. Juwai's fav. ^^ |

Holiday break does not mean all laughters, foods and fun. For every scenery, every people that we meet, every single thing; remind me that we all belong to Allah taala. As I rode the elephant, it just reminds me of surah fiil (elephant) and how they were lead by Abrahah to demolish the Kaabah but to no avail. The island hopping, subhanallah. I can't stop reciting the second last verse of Kahfi , Qul law kanal bahru midadan....It reminds me of Allah's greatness and how small we are compared to the deepness and darkness of the sea. And as I snokelled into the sea, I looked at the fishes and corals and subhanallah...they remind me again that they are Allah's creations too. It crossed my mind too on the missing airplane MH370 which has no news till today.
Alhamdulillah. May Allah bless us with health and abundance rezq to have the opportunity again to travel and explore more of His creations. For now, kap kun kap. :)
