I too wanted to get away but hills make me sick. I chose the sea – beautiful emerald sea full of marine life and natural beauty. The Indian Ocean hosts many beautiful island countries and Thailand is one of the most visited by Indians for the obvious reasons. Few years back we had a vacation in Bangkok and Pattaya and, I wondered why people were so crazy about these places. This vacation, however, changed the way I look at Thailand now. Here are some beautiful moments, experiences from my tour of Phuket and Krabi. Krabi – A Coastal Delight View this post on Instagram A post shared by Nisha Malik | High On Gloss (@highongloss) The popular Krabi town belongs to Krabi Province. The closest airport is Phuket which is accessible via a 2 hours road journey or a ferry ride. Since the Indigo flight leaves you there at 7am, and you are left with no choice but to take a car ride, while the ferry leaves at 9am. So we did the same. The car ride was sweet. My jaw dropped as we entered Krabi Resort Krabi Resort View this post on Instagram A post shared by Nisha Malik | High On Gloss (@highongloss) View this post on Instagram A post shared by Nisha Malik | High On Gloss (@highongloss)   I was so happy that I chose this place for my vacation. It’s located right on the Ao Nang Beach, where the sea awaits for you with open arms. This Beachfront resort is so huge that we took many days to explore it fully. We took a luxury villa that was located on a hillside and offered solitude. The beach, the swimming pool, the restaurant, the reception all were just a call away. But we loved walking along those beautifully manicured plants and trees. 4 Islands Tour View this post on Instagram A post shared by Nisha Malik | High On Gloss (@highongloss) We started on our voyage to explore the sea around Krabi. 4 Islands tour is the most common tour operated by the local tour operators. You could take a speed boat or a long tail boat to the islands. The boat takes you to the beaches , giving you some time to swim and relax. The tour also includes snorkeling, for which they take you to the designated places. Among, Koh Poda island, Chicken island, Tup island and Phranang Cave Beach, I loved Tup Island. It was most scenic. But had lots of cockroches. Not just the islands, but the boating experience was amazing. The enormous rocks lying amidst the sea, are unforgettable. The Carefree Nights On The Beach The beautiful moon, the sea trying to embrace the moon and two hopeless romantics. The sound of the waves, and the cool breeze, just a perfect setup for date nights. We used to stay there till we felt sleepy. The Ferry Ride This was my first time on a ferry. We chose to take a ferry to Phuket. I thought it would be boring to be on a 2 hours long ferry ride sitting in a cabin. But it was a great experience. We could roam around on every floor and to every corner of the ferry. We stayed on the deck for most of the time, feeling the speed of the ferry and rush of the wind. Centara Villas, Phuket Our next stop was, Centara Villas, which is located on a hill across the beach. It’s a luxurious property with beautiful swimming pool, a bay view restaurant and beautiful cottages which are connected via zigzag staircases. There is a long pathway to the beach from the hotel. Since we chose a sea view cottage, we had a great view of the sea from our balcony. Phi Phi Island View this post on Instagram A post shared by Nisha Malik | High On Gloss (@highongloss) View this post on Instagram A post shared by Nisha Malik | High On Gloss (@highongloss) View this post on Instagram A post shared by Nisha Malik | High On Gloss (@highongloss)   Next day we again took a 2 hours long ferry to reach the very famous Phi Phi Island. I was amazed to find it was not just any other island we had visited before back in krabi. There were people living on the island. A nice market with lots of eating places and even nice hotels have been set up there. So in case you wanna stay there, you can stay as long as you wish without having to worry about your basic needs. Not to mention the beautiful beach, we had great fun there, we swam as well as made some sand castles. Phuket City Tour Phuket is a big town and it is quite developed than Krabi. It’s no lesser than Bankgkok and Pattaya in terms of industrialization. We visited a gem factory, a honey farm, a cashew factory, as a part of our city tour. The tour also included beautiful Karon VIew Point, Windmill point, visit to baby elephant zoo , Big Buddha Temple, and some similar places which boasted about the natural beauty that the island hosts. It was not just a tour, it was a vacation, as I felt I have been living there for ages. It was relaxing. We could spend our days just gazing the sea. We actually lived rather than just pushing the day and call it a night. When I came back I could still hear the sound of the waves, the touch of the white sand against my skin and the smell of the salty air. It was magical. Signing off with sweet memories.
