We were long past due for a side trip. 11 weeks had passed since our trip to California ended and I have about a six week time limit before I start to feel desperate to get out of Singapore. We both needed fresh air and some peace and quiet.
I booked us a weekend trip to Krabi for our anniversary. It was the easiest side trip we've ever done actually. I booked the flight with Tiger airways which wasn't quite as annoying as it was when I last used their online booking system and I found Amari Vogue Krabi on Trip adviser when I was searching for quiet boutique places to stay.
Our weekend was pretty incredible. The flight was fast and uneventful. Krabi airport is clean and efficient and we were the only plane at the airport when we arrived so getting out of the departures area took 10 minutes and there was our driver right on time. We had a very clean new car that whisked us at Thai speed out to the resort and literally just a couple of hours from the time we'd left our house we were checked in and sipping tea in Thailand. So easy! It actually took a lot less time and hassle then any of our trips to Malaysia which is technically closer. Everyone assumes you need more time to do a Thailand side trip than Malaysia or Bali but really I'd say exactly the opposite.
So Krabi province is gorgeous and we only saw just a teeny little bit on our car rides and beach walks. This is an area that outdoorsy folks go to because of the climbing and parks. Our resort was right next to a big park so it felt very remote as we only had a neighbour on one side and the other mini resorts along here all seem to be very small.
We had very inclement weather but it was nice and cool the whole time with a fresh breeze. So nice to be somewhere less humid and we had no air conditioning on at all. We read books, napped, ate fruit and sipped fresh squeezed juice and tea. It was a very chill trip and a great way to spend our anniversary.
