游~甲米 Travel~Krabi, Thailand

甲米，我的旅游第二站。

收埋的卡！！！ （谢谢朋友创意的广东翻译）

哈哈。。。

等了差不多一年的泰国旅终于到来了！

还记得机票是在去年十月买的，那时的我还想着几时才能飞。时间飞逝，转眼间就到了这一天。这一次是到炎热的泰国再加上水上或沙滩活动为主题所以我们都以简单清凉的质态出发-短裤，背心，拖鞋，太阳眼镜。

KEEP YOUR CARDS!!! (Thank Joel for this awesome cantonese translation for Sawadeeka)

Haha..

I'm sure everyone curious about the sentence above :P

Still remember I booked the flight tickets in October 2010. 7 months ago, I felt like can't wait to fly to Krabi but I knew that I can't do that because if I want to travel at low cost, the only way is to puchase the tickets months in advance. Luckily I'm patient enough :P Finally, the day has come. Thailand is a hot country and our main activities are water sports so our theme of this trip was HOT! and the dress code is casual - shorts, singlet, slipper and sun glasses..

甲米， 好美！好美！

在这里我感觉很放松，舒服，没有压力。终于能放慢脚步，好好的休息，远远抛离城市的繁忙生活。 谢谢两位泰国朋友的安排，我们以低价入住位于Aonang 的 Success Beach Resort。没有计划就是最好的计划。没有安排好的行程，随心所欲的活动，不快不慢的节奏，让我们能真正的享受这个假期旅行。

Krabi，a beautiful island!

I felt relax, comfortable and stressless here. Finally, I can slow down to enjoy life, have a good rest and escape from the busy city life. Checked in to Success Beach Resort at a very low price, thanks to Pope and Pipe, our Thai friends. This resort is really nice and comfortable. No plan is a good plan! No schedule, free and easy activities, do whatever we want, enjoy the trip to the maximum!

 经过一晚充足的休息，我们出发去海边啦！！！ 当然，一顿美味丰富的早餐是少不了的。看看上面的照片，是不是很羡慕呢？哈哈。。。

Look at the breakfast we had in the next morning! Jealous? haha... We went to Aonang beach after taking our yummy breakfast :)

Aonang Beach

这一天是以水上活动为主。以900泰币（相等于马币90）我们就能坐长尾船到几个小岛潜水，游泳，划皮船。。。 这是我第一次坐长尾船，海风暖暖吹向我们，很舒服。第一个活动就是潜水。我们穿上救生衣后就跳进海里，观赏色彩缤纷的海底世界。

Only 900 thai bath, we got a very nice travel package to Hong Island for snorkeling, swimming, kayaking... This is the first time I sit in the long tail boat, a nice experience. Our first activity is snorkeling. After putting on the life jacket, we jumped into the sea to enjoy the colourful view under the sea.

They are my Thai friends, Pope, Pipe and Berm

 之后，我们去到Hong Island。这个小岛很美，沙滩的沙很柔细很滑，海水清澈见底。躺在沙滩上，晒着温暖的太阳，我仿佛到了天堂似的。吃过午饭后，我们进行下一个活动-划皮船。我们划船绕过整个小岛，迈进另一个小天堂-Hong Lagoon。这是一个很美的环礁湖，不过每隔六小时就会退潮，变得空空，再六小时就涨潮，恢复美美的样貌。很神奇吧！

Next, we went to Hong Island. This is a very beautiful island, the sand is so smooth and the sea water is so clear. Were laying on the beach and sunbathing, felt like I have entered a new paradise. :) We went for kayaking after lunch. Our destination is Hong Lagoon, a place where 6 hours empty, 6 hours full of water, again and again. Amazing!

Dinner @ Wang Sai Restaurant

 丰富的泰式晚餐

另一天，我们去泡温泉和参观老虎庙。这是一个很小很小的温泉，当我们把身体浸在泉水里，适度的水温让我们完全放松, 皮肤也滑溜溜的:P

The next day, we went to hotspring and Tiger Temple. This is a very small hotspring but we can really relax here.

老虎庙是一个平静，神圣的地方。 这里闻名的就是那一千级通往山上的阶梯。但我们都不敢挑战，于是我们就往另一个方向走进森林里观赏那一千年的老树。

Tiger Temple is a quiet and sacred place. This temple is famous with the 1000 steps of staircases which connect to the peak of the mountain but we dare not to take the challenge so we moved on to the other direction to see the thousand years old tree.

参观老虎庙后，我们就出发去甲米镇度过我们在甲米的最后一个晚上。在这里我们找到了一间很有特色的餐厅。这里最为特别的菜肴就是"pinang gai"(泰语），一道以香料特熬的鸡料理。虽然本人不吃鸡，但它的美味令我无法说‘不’哈哈。。。 除此之外，我们也尝尽了泰国每一种啤酒。真的大快人心！这是我们最难忘的一晚 :)

After visiting Tiger Temple, we moved to Krabi Town and spent our last night there. We had dinner at a very special restaurant and the most special dish that I tried here is "pinang gai", it is a chicken dish served with herd sauce. I don't take chicken but I can't say 'NO' to this haha... Besides, we had all types of Thai beers here.. The most enjoyable night in Krabi :)

Green Curry, Tom Yam Soup...

'pinang gai'

转眼间就到了最后一天，真的很舍不得离开。很开心能与朋友们度过这么美好的一个假期。我爱他们。下一次与他们见面的时间地点就是八月尾的曼谷。我好期待哦！你们要等我哦！

Finally, we have to go back to Malaysia. I didn't feel like leaving Krabi at that moment. i'm very happy to have a great holidays with my friends. I love you all :) The next time we meet will be in August in Bangkok.

ATV @ Kampung Kemensah

Wow!!!

A beautiful sunday~~
I woke up at 6 am. YES!!! At 6am.
WHY???
Because of ATV - All-terrain vehicle  "claps"

So happy that I can gather so many friends for this activity. :)

Had nice "dim sum" before heading to our destination - ATV Adventure Park @ Kampung Kemensah.
Source of energy for ATV!

                                            Jing Xuan Dim Sum @ Damansara Jaya

Here we go ...
                                       

There are many ATV packages. We chose Package D - 3 hours offroad ride to Bukit Tabur/Dam. This is an extreme package and is not recommended for first timer but it is highly recommended for fun people like me haha :P

Hey guys, put on ur helmet and let's start our journey!

Had a simple practice at ATV base training track before we go into the jungle.

Di da di da...

OMG!!! Raining.......

Big thanks to our dear Mr. James Ong for praying to the Rain God. Swt =.="

No raincoat, mundy vehicle, slippy track...

The journey became more fun and challenging in rainy day.

We went uphill and downhill until we reached the dam. The most challenging part was when we go downhill because the track is narrow and slippy, the probability of falling down is high. Luckily we are fit enough to complete the whole track hehe...

You can enjoy the view of KL here.

Warning: People who are underweight (< 40 kg) must be extra careful because it is hard to control and balance the vehicle.

Hooray!!!

We reached back safely. After 3 hours ride, we were exhausted. Haha...

But then you still can see our smiley face ^^

ATV is really a fun game. "Thumb up"

游~台湾 Travel~Taiwan

台湾，我的旅游第一站!

去年的八月，我去到了台湾。没有计划，只有冲动。看到便宜的机票，立刻买了，没有多想。毕业典礼之后的隔一天就飞到了台湾。兴奋？ 有！但程度不高。可能是因为太累吧！在飞机上睡了两个小时，再用两个小时看看和排排在台湾几天的行程。很感谢朋友借我一本台湾游“终极天书”。 有了它，整个台湾背包旅行真的简单，容易，轻松的多。本人极力推荐的一本旅游书—台北高铁全线游，长空出版社。

Taiwan, my first station!

Went to Taiwan in August 2011 right after my convocation. Bought the flight ticket two weeks before the travel date. All of a sudden. No planning at all. Excited? A little bit. Why? Mayb I was too tired with the convocation so I can't feel the excitement. LOL! 4 hours flight. Slept for 2 hours and then went through the Taipei travel book to plan for the itinery. Have to thank a friend for lending a very nice travel book to me. The whole trip was so relax, enjoy and fun.

这次台湾游的焦点在台北。逗留的时间不多所以没打算去太多地方，以免变成商业化的旅行团。台北是一个很发展，有次序地城市。交通方便，人民亲切又乐于助人 。入住一间中山民宿，只需台币三百一晚，等于马币三十，真的超级“抵”！

The main focus of this trip was Taipei. Didn’t plan to travel to too much states because I wanted a relax holiday, no rush. Taipei is a developed and well organised city. Accessable transport, friendly and helpful residents. Stayed in a warm guesthouse in ‘Zhong Shan’, costs me only NT 300/night. Cool~~

台湾地标之一  -  台北101, 真的很壮观。入门票只需台币400。乘坐速度快至1010m/min 的恒压电梯到89 楼只需37 秒，快得惊人，感觉超棒！ 在观景台向下望，看到整个台北市， 感觉大地在我脚下，暗爽。。。 嘻！:P  参观世界第二高的台北101 是一个很不错的经验， 但别期望太高因为除了台北市景，这里只有一些历史故事和摆设， 没多大惊喜。

Taipei 101, the world second tallest building. Impressive! Paid only NT 400 for a visit. Took lift with speed 1010m/min to the observatory, only 37 seconds. Wow... really fast! I saw the whole Taipei city from the observatory. Awesome!

另一个台北旅游必到之处就是闻名的士林夜市。时常在台湾电视节目里听到的士林夜市果然闻名不如一见。这里有好多好多台湾小吃，例如：大肠包小肠，豪大大鸡排，官材板， 蚝煎，胡椒饼，珍珠奶茶。。。 全部都让我嘴巴停不下来。这里除了有好多美食，也有很多服装店。价钱低，选择多，真的是一个好去处。

Shilin Night Market. A must go place in Taipei. There are many delicious Taiwan foods in the night market such as ‘Big and Small Sausage’, ‘Big Big Chicken Chop’, fried oyster, Pearl milk tea and many.

在台湾最令我印象深刻而且无法忘怀的就是“Bigtom”冰淇淋。点了一客红酒冰淇淋。 当我吃进第一口的时候，绵绵的冰淇淋入口即溶，口里满满红酒的香味， 真的令我满足快乐似神仙。那种感觉真的难以形容， 我从未尝过如此美味的冰淇淋，这是我在台北最大的收获。Bigtom就位于台北市光復南路， 国父纪念馆隔壁。

Bigtom Ice Cream. Yummy!!!

Must try!!! Red wine ice cream is highly recommended.

It is located next to National Dr. Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall

还记得周董的电影-不能说的秘密吗？

以这部电影为主题的Mr.J義法廚房就位于台北医学大学里。身为周迷的我当然要去看看。 哈！整个餐厅果然以不能说的秘密的一点一滴布置成。 非常有感觉，而且坏境舒适。 餐厅中间摆着一部钢琴，令我想起电影里的情节和那感动的故事。

Visited Mr.J restaurant which is located in the Taipei Medical University. I love the interior design of the restaurant especially the piano. The theme of this restaurant is Secret, a Jay Chou’s movie.

九份，一个离台北市不远的小镇，是我最喜欢的旅游景点。

这里充满复古怀旧的气息，让我感觉回到古时候。九份不大，只有几条街， 但却应有尽有。台湾总是离不开美食。阿伯鱼丸， 芭乐果汁，阿柑枝芋圆都是九份出名的食物。 在这里找到一间很有特色的小小服装店。它的特别之处在于该店老板亲手裁剪和设计每一件衣服，每一件衣服的图案都是独一无二的，而且是老板亲手用颜料画在布料上。简单但独树一格！

‘Jiu Fen’, my favourite tourist attraction in Taiwan. This is a small town nearby Taipei city. ‘Ah Bo Fish Ball’, ‘Red Guava Juice’ and ‘Ah Zhi Gan Taro Balls’ are the must try foods here. I found a special boutique here. It is special because every shirt or dress is designed and sewed by the owner of the shop.  You won’t be able to find it at other boutiques.

淡水 – 八里 – 渔人码头

这三个地方是连接的所以行程可以安排在同一天里。 淡水是另外一个小镇。这里的旅游景点不多，但来到这里的旅客都会一睹淡水老街和红楼的风采。旅客都可以在老街购买各式各样的手信如阿婆铁蛋，黄梨酥，还有我最爱吃的牛扎糖等等。在淡水码头能够买到淡水 –〉 八里 –〉 渔人码头的来回船票。八里比较像是工业区，所以景点更少。参观了陶土博物馆再到在码头边的公园骑脚踏车及吹吹风， 很舒服！

DanShui - Ba Li - Yu Ren Ma Tou are connected so I managed to cover these three places in a day. DanShui is another small town in Taiwan. Not much tourist attractions here. The only interesting place here is DanShui old street where you can buy souvenirs - 'Ah Po Tiedan', 'Pineapple Tart' and 'Milk sweets'. Bought a return ferry ticket to Ba Li and Yu Ren Ma Tou at DanShui jetty. Then went to Ba Li. Ba Li is more like an industrial area but there is a nice garden next to the jetty where you can ride bicycle.

渔人码头

一个情人邂逅的地方。 传说情侣越过情人桥都能得到爱神的眷顾。你相信吗？

Yu Ren Ma Tou - Fisherman's Whart

Lover's Bridge - A romantic place for couples

我爱上了台湾！

虽然只有短短几天， 但是我真的很享受， 也很珍惜我看到和体会到的一点一滴。

I love Taiwan!!!
