"Please..please..please.. For those who are not familiar or 1st time traveler to Krabi from Hatyai, don't be cheated by penipu2 travel agent yang charge more than 300 bath/person/trip.


Tips : You will be approached by ulat2 agent to offer transportation from Hatyai to Ao Nang/Krabi Town once the train stopped at Hatyai Railway Station. Kindly state that your destination is Hatyai and you have booked the hotel. Then,ignore them by rushing out of the station.

Reliable tour agent : From Hatyai Train Station, walk towards  Lee Garden Plaza's Mcdonald (8 mins walking distance - around 600m. Refer below map for direction).




You can find Hatyai Variety Tour / Konsortium Bas Express located across the street. Their price and service : REASONABLE AND GREAT."




"Don't miss the experience to taste the local street food at their R&R. We forgot to take the picture, so here we copy and paste from google picture. Credit to the blog owner"

"After a long journey from KL to Ao Nang, we decided to treat ourself with 'fancy' dinner at one of halal restaurants at Ao Nang beach area. Tomyam and coconut drink as a treat to ourself!"

Hot Stream

Blue Pool
" Blue pool is located 500m (It took us around 15mins to walk) from the emerald pool. We walked straight to blue pool to make sure we would have enough time to swimming in emerald pool later. Disadvantage using tour agent is you have really tight schedule, therefore won't have enough time to enjoy the view and the pool. Swimming is not allowed at Blue Pool"

Emerald Pool
Tips: Wear comfortable foot wear since the distance between the emerald pool and the parking area is 800m and the pool area is very slippery

Elephant Riding

Total cost for Day 3 : THB 850 + THB 70 = THB 920
