Krabi ATV Ride : Thrills on 4 wheels

Krabi ATV Ride
The ATV certified and enthusiastic instructor for the day was Mr. Prompong Janjaem or in short, Pong. The wild and exciting scenery of the ATV base camp is located in the beautiful nature of Ton Pariwat Wildlife Sanctuary, in the Phang Nga Province – just a short drive from the Krabi Province. The group joining the expedition consisted of a diverse group of people from Malaysia, Singapore, Germany and Thailand. The transfer from the Rafting base camp, where we had just finished a thrilling 5 km rafting experience, to the ATV base camp for the second part of the tour – riding an All Terrain Vehicle or Quad – took few minutes. Upon reaching the pick up point the ATV staff members were already waiting for us under aggressive rain… We were explained the basic theory of ATV riding by Pong: one needed to pull and push the steering; going uphill one had to lean forward and downhill backward; in a curve one had to tighten the knees around the vehicle’s main body and lean on to the curving direction, right for right and left for left; the use of the gears, on the contrary of other motor-vehicles, was by pushing the foot gear pedal up; the brakes one on the right foot level and the other one on the right hand level of the steer; The accelerator consisted of a thumb throttle instead of the typical motorcycle twist grip; the automatic start button was situated on the right hand and needed to be pressed together with one of the brakes; safety measures included wearing helmet, using extreme common sense and caution and of course, a group of watchful assistant instructors. The squad started the march heading out to the first ATV training circuit, where we would have the chance to warm up our newly learned skills. I, despite the heavy rain and a muddy terrain, had swiftly decided to take along my SLR camera ready for some photographic action. To an onlooker the view of fifteen heavy and roaring quads parading in rough weather and wild surroundings could have easily been mistaken for an USA platoon on a mission of some kind. The 400 cc quads painted in a desert camouflage style and the centaurs wearing helmets and outdoor clothing – perhaps – reinforced this picture.

ADVENTURE IN THE KITCHEN

krabi-cookery-school-01You will learn through a practical hands-on approach, choosing your own dishes to prepare. The results will impress your friends back home with such culinary wonders as green Thai curry, fragrant soups, stir fry chicken with cashew nuts, and many other delicious and exotic dishes. One of the most distinctive aspects of Thai cooking is its use of herbs and spices. Some  Thai dishes are very spicy, but by no means  all of them. Thailand has a long history, going back to ancient times, of the use  of herbs for medical purpose, and this in turn has permeated the ways of cooking and preparing food. Sharing a meal is an important part of the day for any Thai person, and meals are seldom taken alone. That is why all the dishes are generally served at once during Thai meal, and why there is a communal spoon placed alongside each dish for people to help themselves and to serve others. Thailand is blessed with many varieties of plants, herbs and spices which ensures a balanced diet. Today, visitors can both relish classic Thai menus and study the art of Thai cooking.

Eco Cycling in Krabi
Mountain biking in Krabi is the best experience you’ll have in Thailand. Organise and participate cycle trips around Krabi Province to give an insight into the natural surroundings with an exciting adventure off the beaten track. Sightseeing at it’s best and get close to nature. If you are fit – try an overnight trip !. Try to plan the time and effort on the journey to ensure your bicycling trip as the most enjoyable part of your vacation. Currently we are running the 1-day Krabi bike tour and we customize it for what the group wants (how far the group can ride). If you go to see 6 attractions in one day you’re going to be VERY tired and sleep all the next day at the beach. Even if you’re in shape for mountain biking you’re going to find it a challenge. The 35 mile bicycle ride is mostly over flat roads and some very small hills. The trek up to the top of Krabi Tiger Cave – 1,237 steps will be quite an effort after you just biked 31 miles and though you’ll congratulate yourself over and over if you can actually make the full tour – there’s no need to! We can customize the bike tour to meet your needs and match your physical fitness level so you have the best time possible on this Krabi bike tour. Read more

FAST FUN AND EXCITING EXPERIENCE


Although there are no large rivers in Krabi, nearby Phang Nga province is a good place to enjoy this eco-friendly adventure sport. Most rafting trips take place on the Khlong Song Phraek stream in the Ton Paritwat Wildlife Sanctuary, not far from Phang Nga Town. This stream is quite narrow with a few boulders. A lot of fun if you do not mind getting wet but pretty tame if you have been whitewater rafting on larger rivers.

Life In A Sea Gypsy Village, Koh Lanta Yai, Krabi.

Blog By : Eugene Tang.

Right on the southern tip of Ko Lanta island in Krabi Province, there is a Sea Gypsy settlement in a small traditional fishing village called ???Ban Sangkha-U??. The name “Sangkha-U” means “stingray” in Chao-Le dialect. The unique lifestyle of the Chao-Le (sea-gypsies) in Ko Lanta?? has been almost completely unaffected by the booming tourism on the island. They still retain their own unique language, traditions and ceremonies.

Ban Laem Pho was once a large freshwater swamp and home to a particular breed of snail dating back to the Tertiary Age approximately 40 million years ago when they lived and died by the million, forming layers upon layers whereby the living existed. Slowly but surely, changes in the weather precipitated the swamps’ disappearance leaving behind layers of fossilized snail shells of forty centimeters thick resting on ten centimeters of the subsoil lignite.

Krabi ” Pasar Malam “

Pasar Malam in Batavia, Indonesia, period 1900-1940

Pasar malam is a Malay and Indonesian word that literally means night market, “pasar” being related to “bazaar” in Persian. A pasar malam is a street market in Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia that opens in the evening, usually in residential neighbourhoods. It brings together a collection of stalls that usually sell goods such as fruits, vegetables, snacks, toys, clothes, shoes, alarm clocks, and ornaments at cheap or at least reasonable prices. Pirated DVDs, CDs and computer software are often sold at a pasar malam. A pasar malam often takes place only one to a few days of the week, as the traders rotate around different neighbourhoods on different days of the week. Haggling over prices is a common practice at such markets. Pasar Malam are often differentiated by ethnicity. A Malay pasar malam will often contain stalls selling Islamic books, kopiah hats, sarongs and other Malay specialty items. Chinese pasar malam may sell Mah Jong sets, incense, joss sticks, joss paper and various Chinese prayer supplies. Indian pasar malam may contain Hindu prayer supplies. In the Netherlands, a yearly Indo Eurasian festival is held in The Hague under the name Tong Tong Fair, formerly known as the Pasar Malam Besar. Due to the big number of Indo Eurasians and the successive success of this event since 1959, dozens of Pasar Malams are held each year in the Netherlands. Recently the Indonesian embassy has started sponsoring a yearly Pasar Malam Indonesia, mainly to promote Indonesian business and enhance Dutch-Indonesian relations.
