Road Trip – Krabi, Thailand!
Road Trip – Krabi, Thailand.
Posted By : Ina Mohd
Destination – Krabi, Thailand. Distance to destination – 850Km. Departure point – Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Total cars in convoy – 4. Stopover – overnight at Hat Yai, Thailand.
It was a 5-day trip. 4 of them were spent on the road. That leaves us with only one full day to enjoy Krabi. 11 of my family members occupied 2 cars, while 2 of our friends in the other 2 with their families. The journey to Hat Yai itself was an 8 hour drive. Thank god I’m wasn’t driving! …or so I thought. My dad had fever on that day so I took over the wheel. Poor thing was coughing nastily throughout the whole drive.
We stayed at the beautiful AoNang Villa Resort. Gosh. Felt like I was in one of those Travel Channel show reviewing hotels (think Samantha Brown’s Passport to …Asia?).

‘ FEET PULLING SHELLS ‘
Known as “Hoi Chak Teen” in Thai or as a type of wing-shell that belongs to the Strombus Canxarium family. It looks like a conch but is smaller and brown in color. Its special characteristic is its dark brown walking legs which are referred to as “feet” or “teen” (in informal Thai). It is also known to the Indonesian in Riau Archipelagos as ” Gong Gong.” This local seashell is recognize as a seafood delicacy in Krabi. It is commonly found at the river mouth near sandy banks such as areas around Koh Jum and Koh Siboya. Harvesting is only done by the local fishermen twice a month during the receding spring tide. To prepare the dish, the wing shell is soaked in salty water for about half an hour. A few crushed chilies are added to the water to make it spicy. The wing shell then begins to move, pushing its feet out and expelling the mud from inside. It is rinsed several times and then put in to a pot of cold water. The pot is then put on the stove to boil and when the water gets warm, the wing shell pushes its feet out. As soon as it is cooked, it is ready to be served. To eat the morsel, you pull the feet and the mollusk will come out. You can also use a toothpick to reach into the shell and pull all the meat out of the shell in one go. It is eaten with a dip made of garlic, chilies, sugar, lime juice and fish sauce. The shells are also made into decorative items for the home or sold as souvenirs.

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.

The bamboo rail transporting firewood in Cambodia. -- CAROLINE CHIA/THE STRAITS TIMES
AS THE train pulls away from Tanjong Pagar, factories loom like skyscrapers and squat houses acquire an imposing air. Familiar sights turn foreign even before we cross the border. Our journey across five countries has just begun. Inside the chilly carriages of KTM’s Ekspres Rakyat to Butterworth, Mr Bean stumbles his way through gaffes on the Samsung flatscreen television as a family tucks into a breakfast of bread and apricot jam. Other passengers catch a nap on plush fabric seats before we hit the checkpoint at Woodlands. It will be the first of four borders we pass in our bid to travel 5,000km to the edge of China via the route of the Singapore-Kunming Rail Link project.

Poda Island
8 km West of Ao Nang, this small group of islands has a natural landmark in Chicken Island’s limestone rock, resembling a chicken’s head and neck. At the back of the island, you can find yourself in an underwater world of brilliantly coloured marine life.
Locals refer to this as Poda Nok Island (Koh Darm Kwan). At low tide it is possible to walk along a connecting beach or sandbank from Chicken Island to Mor Island.
