After a few weeks rest back in Singapore, it was time for us (Mum and I) to explore a new part of Southeast Asia. We debated on where to go and decided upon Krabi - a coastal village of Thailand. A quick up and down flight of 1h30 mins from Singapore. Our resort, Amari Vogue was about a 45 minute drive from the airport located on the coast with a gorgeous view out to sea. Not meant for anything but relaxation, we spent the majority of our time sunbathing by the pool, eating and drinking. Our first day (Monday) we arrived in the late afternoon and wandered around the resort, located on a steep hill that had villas leading down to the beach. Our first stop was Happy Hour (quelle surprise) where we sat by the sea and drank margaritas. We made a dinner reservation at the hotels Italian restaurant and went to our suite to freshen up. For dinner we had Bruschetta, Crab Cakes, and a Parma Ham Pizza. As we ate dinner we watched two women perform traditional Thai dancing in front of the restaurant.
Overall, the fish was overpriced for what it was and although it was decent, it was definitely not the best fish I've ever had. If you do find yourself at this resort, I would opt out of the seafood dinner and choose a seafood dish directly from the menu to avoid confusion. Other than that, our evening was lovely aside from the quick rain that came over the restaurant, but nothing we weren't used to.
In my opinion this was the best option..as opposed to being dropped off at a crowded beach with no chairs, bathrooms or restaurants for 4 hours. Instead we were able to visit 4 different islands, including an amazing lagoon where the water was crystal clear. Our trip took about 1h20 and we were back on dry land at 9:30am. They advised we visited early as the weather is usually better in the morning and it doesn't get busy until later on. The rest of our afternoon we spent lying by the pool and reading. Our evening was a quiet one...we chose to eat at the closer restaurant where we enjoyed a delicious selection of Thai food before having an early night before leaving the next day! Nothing like some R&R!
