Bagpackers to Aonang, Thailand

Travel always give me the vibe of excitement. I love travelling to other places. This time i went to Thailand, the land of beautiful amazing beaches and islands. The feeling of hanging out by the sea is an awesome feeling ever. In each country that i have travelled for every year will have a seaview theme adventure. Therefore, this year i choose Aonang. Aonang is located at Mueng Krabi district. If you guys don't know, Aonang is a large bay with scenic and mindblowing beaches, caves, islands or private islands nearby. It is like the main spot to go around to every seaview and main attractions among tourist. Aonang is very tourist oriented. You can see many tourist here. So, lets diggin what did i do in Aonang for few days of adventure and exploration there. I am totally having so much fun! Let me explain more about the activities and wonderful places that we did.

I had booked the AA ticket couple months before i went to Aonang. It was on sale. Yes i always bought sale's ticket only because i am a bit of travel-ticket-cheapskate...LOLL!! Actually this is my second time to Krabi. Few years before, i only did jungle retreat in a private island at Railay Beach, just that. This year i decided to totally explore Aonang. Guess what, i am so satisfied! And of course i went there with my travel buddies. First and foremost, i did a travel itinerary before exploring Aonang. It is a must to have an itinerary so that the travel journey is in order and not miss out. We took the afternoon flight to go there. There was a funny moment while we waited for the flight. We were so excited for the journey and our gate is the last gate in the airport. We got to see the view of airplane take off and touchdown because our gate was at the end of waiting area. We were busy to take photo and some videos of airplane that i didn't noticed i've received few calls from AA. I thought it was a scammer, therefore i choose to ignore it and continue to see the airplane take off & landing. Guess what, we were actually late for boarding and that is the reason why AA called me. HAHAHH! We were the last person to check in on board! The ground staff there said she had called me many times but no answer. LOLLL..and now i remember why i received an anonymous call just now. LOLLL!! However, after we done with our boarding thingy, the pilot said that the airplane is delayed due to some issue. Yeahh and we hangout at the boarding area with pilot, co-pilot and stewardess there. About 30minutes after, we were allowed to get in the flight. We arrived to Krabi International Airport a little delay.

I am speechless after arrived to the airport. It is totally different from before. They have upgraded and enlarged the airport. I am a bit of confuse and lost at the moment because all changed. But we managed it well. The airport is big and spacious. After done with the custom/immigration, we need to find the way out to get a transport to Krabi Bus Station. We already booked our motorcycle for our days in Aonang. It is the cheapest motorcycle rent compare to others. We took a mini van to go to the bus station to pick up our motorcycle. It is pretty close to the airport around 10 minutes. Having own transport is much easier and cheaper than booking tuk-tuk or tour guide to explore Aonang. We settled with the motorbike rent and continue our journey to find any convenient store to buy DTAC Tourist Simcard. The best simcard to be used among tourist. After done with all the stuffs, we head straight to our hotel. But, before that we stopped by to grab some late lunch. We found a Halal restaurant which is quite near to our hotel. We ate our lunch because we were pretty damn hungry. The food was delicious and you can find variety of menus there. Done filling up our stomach, we went to our hotel to check in while enjoying the Aonang beach view along the way. Finally, we reached our hotel and we were so happy with our room. It is very close to the Noppharat Thara Beach, just a 3minutes walking distance. The room is cosy and comfortable. We took a nap, rest for awhile and get fresh. We continued our activity at night time.
