Weekends on the Islands of Krabi



So Krabi impressed me so much that I decided to write a simple travel post just for it. After several times of going to the beaches nearby (Pattaya and Bangsen), it takes a lot to impress me these days. And Krabi certainly didn’t disappoint.

 I’ll start by sharing our Krabi Adventures & photos with you. Next up I’ll cover how much it costs to travel Krabi, where to stay, the best Island tour and more.

Phi Phi Island

This white sand Island surrounded by big rocks mountain formation is Krabi’s most popular tourist attraction. It was once featured in the movie The Beach. It was our first stop to our 7 islands tour and we were welcomed by a heavy pouring of rain, perfect for a dramatic shot of the paradise. This small Island is absolutely packed with so much beauty and tranquility. And tourists, who also want to take photos for the love of Facebook. Nah, just kidding! 












Snorkeling and Island Sight-Seeing

Swimming with the fishes was the highlight of my trip to Krabi. Next to the buffet food we had for lunch. Burrped J Okay, I can’t be a professional travel blogger just yet because I don’t still have professional cameras, a Go Pro Hero or a water proof kind of phone I can take under or just below sea level. But undeniably, the best memories of my trip were the ones I forgot or didn’t even bother to take photos of. Because I’m too busy seizing the moment, yeah?







Travel Costs

Yes,  it’s healthy to splurge a little bit on travel, to eat once or twice on a fancy restaurant, stay on a five star hotel with all the perks that come with the price, plus to have a good photo op for all your travel OOTDs.

However.

If we want to make the most of our travels; everything and everybody that come our way it would be more rewarding if we blend in with the locals, eat their food and stay with them even if we look like tourists. It's fine if you want to take a 5* hotel accommodation because that's how you like your self image to be maintained among friends on Facebook but it's entirely different opportunity if you expand your sense of self and realize that you are not there to sleep but to explore. And a buffet dinner on that hotel at a certain discount won't hurt either.

Obviously, I'm a huge fan of budget travel, like always. But how to stick on a shoestring budget when prices are continually rising.

Firstly, instead of wasting your precious brain cells stalking on your ex or someone else’s life on Facebook, follow your low cost airlines, booking websites, favorite magazines and people who are passionate with things you are most interested with.  We were able to score a promo ticket on Airasia (only because we know where and what we are looking for) which surprisingly cost us only 344 baht for a two-way ticket for each then book a budget hotel at Booking.com at only 188 baht each per night. But speaking of splurge, we cannot say no to a 1500 baht worth of Island tour by SEA EAGLE TOUR (arranged by our hotel staff) on which we were able to negotiate it to 1200 baht simply because we can speak their language. AND IT WAS ALL WORTH IT! The food, the speed boat, the view, all of these summed up to an ultimate experience.

Secondly, learn a foreign language. 

And lastly, be open to casual invitations, change of plans and things not coming/going your way – it opens you to an endless possibilities.

I hope this simple post and few of my photos will inspire you to visit this place someday!

Xoxo,
Glenda

Irresistible Me Diamond Flat Iron Review: Is it worth it?

I started using flat irons since I was 18 years old (well, that was 12 years ago?) and I’m amazed at how the industry of hair straighteners had come. Man, I think we're missing out on some great deal. Flat iron over the years, We all know the humble beginnings of hair comb or some may call them hair thongs which are made of two rods heated to straighten the hair. I never get to use this one as I was introduced to the second generation of hair straighteners and that was using a standard home clothes iron. Nah, I mean the basic flat irons made with metal plates and few heat settings. Not until the early 2000s when I saw this model with ceramic plates that most people use today. Ceramic is by far the most popular material for this product as it is both inexpensive and actually safer compared to the clothing iron or heating rods back in days. Depending on your hair type, ceramic plates are believed to lock in moisture and protect hair color. But with a lot of this model

Weekend Well Spent

Last week was kind of breezy to the point where I thought it was already Friday when I’m only in the middle of my week, which is odd because when I’m excited for something and I’m looking forward to it every single day, it makes my whole month moved into a slow motion and I’m like bored to death. Gladly, my weekend didn’t pass by so sudden that I got to enjoy it with people dearest to my heart to the fullest. I love weekends so much that I decided not to care about laundry or cleaning the house (sort of) but just spend the whole two days enjoying the cold weather which means more sleeps and longer walks to the mall. Last weekend, we ate breakfast in our PJ’s, had brunch in the street food shops, enjoyed salmon and some surprisingly affordable tasty Japanese cuisine, scored some discounts on baby clothes and winter shirts, did some window shopping, had a half dozen Krispy Kreme glazed donuts for dessert and just cuddled and sang nursery rhymes at the top of our lungs.

How To Instantly Add Luxury To Your Wardrobe

As you have probably guessed, I literally spend a good part of my day shopping online. Yep, when major sales popped out, I'll stop what I'm doing to catch a glimpse on which of those pieces look good on me. To the point, I recently spent a morning scrolling through a dozen items on shopping websites. Making me the perfect target consumer when it comes to social media marketing ads. Ha! Sadly, however, I can’t possibly purchase everything on my wishlist and so every now and then I blog about my current favorites hoping somebody can benefit from the fruits of my labor. While there are specific brands I love to cover on a weekly basis today I like to highlight and celebrate similar brands for cheap yet elegant staples to give you more unique and fashion-forward options. Just keep scrolling to get started shopping and see a couple of elegant dresses to keep your outfit on point.
