Trip to Krabi - The Journey~~~

Took few days off from work to Krabi, Thailand for a short holiday with my baby, his sister and future-to-be sister-in-law.

As usual (my 2nd/3rd time taking AirAsia), we received sms informing us that there's a delay in our schedule (12:05pm --> 3:30pm). Well, we are consider lucky as we received the sms few days before.

Stil remember a week ago, my relatives are heading back to Kelantan after attending my cousin's wedding. They have to wait in LCCT for more than 4 hours as their flight delayed. However,
*take note* according to AirAsia, "...AirAsia provides its guests a guarantee that they will receive compensation for flights that are delayed by more than 3 hours from the scheduled time of flight departure...". So, my relatives, each (11 of them) managed to get a RM200 E-gift refund for the flight delayed.

As scheduled, the flight departed LCCT at 3:30pm SHARP!
The flight wasnt tat full when we departure. I guess people are afraid to travel north due to the democratic crisis happening in Bangkok, Thailand.


me and my baby...

It was quite a nice weather. Managed to take some nice photos...


clouds...

1 hour 45 mins later... YEAH~!!! We finally arrived at Krabi International Airport. Is quite a small airport...

There's already someone from the hotel waiting at the airport lobby, welcoming our arrival.

The guy: "Madam... We wil now send you to our resort. It will be a 2 hours ride including two ferry rides..."

All of us: "Wat???!!!??? 2 hours???" *pengsan*
