krabi + bangkok!

just back from krabi & bangkok! it was certainly a much needed holiday after the hectic months of september and october that was spent preparing for the exercise.

spent 3 days in krabi and 5 days in bangkok. a picture say a thousand words, so without further ado, here are some highlights of the trip...


vogue resort - our accommodation in krabi

day 2 in krabi - island hopping!




day 3 - canoeing & elephant trekking


we had a little visitor on our boat during the canoeing trip...

and now for the elephants!



centrepoint petchburi - our accommodation in bangkok



and now, the food that we've been gorging ourselves with during the past 8 days..


italian food in krabi - pasta, pizza and uh.. tom yam soup?? haha


seafood @ wan sai in krabi - pineapple rice, green curry, red snapper, shrimp & chicken

the fish was HUGE - how huge? compared to my arm, it's like...

tony roma's in bangkok

chinese dinner @ nam sing restaurant, bangkok chinatown - steamed fish, sea cucumber, shark's fin, pork ribs & seafood fried rice

and of course, we have to perform the obligatory arm test to compare aginst the fish we had in krabi...
the grand finale - bird's nest!


final night in bangkok: outback steak restaurant - cheese fries & fried calamari
