My experience of 4 Islands Tour in Krabi, Thailand

Sawadee Thailand!

Thailand is a popular tourist destination around the world and it was always on my bucket list. When talked about beaches in Thailand, Phuket beaches with white sands are the ones that have mostly been told however Krabi is as beautiful as Phuket and calmer and peaceful and has its own charm to attract. Our stay in Krabi was at 'Holiday Inn resort' near to Ao Nang beach which was a perfect space to start our journey with the utmost relaxation.

On our first after reaching our hotel at Krabi, we had a great time near the pool and relaxed to oose out some of the heat of this Thailand weather. After brushing off the stress of early morning travel we thought of hitting the nearby beach Ao Nang. What a view! Of course, you would be reminded of nail rocks you must have seen in the movie Avatar that gives the sea a pinch of color. One can sit down have a beer, eat street munchies be it the fresh fruits salad or chicken sticks. Wrapping up the day post roaming around in the local market we just wanted to lie down in our cosy bed. Zzzzzzzz.

Next day afresh, we knew what was coming, the famous 4 Island trip ( Railey beach, Chicken Island, Tup Island, Poda Island) on a speedboat where our lunch was also planned.

Island Stop 1: Phra Nang Cave beach (Railay beach)

So our first stop was Railay beach which is having a gorgeous view with some beautiful caves and cliffs. We were given about 30 mins on this beautiful place to explore. Here people were doing rock climbing to the cliff and caves and we did it too. The Caves are too beautiful to go for a hike.

Island Stop 2: Chicken Island

We were excited about the next stop which was Chicken island but here the people are not advised to get down hence we just saw island from the boat and clicked a few pics and then after this boat was stopped near a snorkeling zone for obvious reasons. As my husband is fond of swimming he was interested in snorkeling at this very beautiful coral island. Later we were served with some fresh cut fruits and cold drinks as snacks and proceeded to the next stop.

Island Stop 3: Tup Island

Tup Island is small in comparison to other Island but it has its own beauty as this is a beach where tourist come to witness the amazing parting of the seas having gorgeous views. The island offers a common beach line for two seasides.

This island is picturesque with stunning panoramic views of the Krabi coastline in the background.

Island Stop 4: Poda Island

As this was the last stop which is Poda Island, we got the maximum time to spend here and our lunch was also available here. There is a national park in Poda Island which was also included in our trip and so we had the lunch in the shades of trees in this park. The Beach is really pretty with white sand and stunning background. The place is also one of the most famous spots for movies shooting in Thailand.

The 4 island tour was completed before 3 O'clock and we reached our hotel at 4 O'clock. So the rest of our day was at leisure and as usual, we went on to explore the area while going for dinner.

Next day before leaving for Phuket, we tried the very famous Thai massage at a nearby spa center in the morning which was obviously awesome and in a reasonable price. Thai massages are usually better in Krabi than Phuket or Bangkok.

Stay tuned to know what we did in Phuket and Bangkok in our next blog.

Until then... Happy Travelling :)
