普吉-甲米跳岛自由行 Phuket-Krabi Island Hopping 2013 ^^



这里没有繁重及满是尘埃的都市气息,没有挂着扑克脸且脚步急促的高跟白领,只有亮丽的阳光沙滩比基尼,吃不尽的美食看不完的美女,加上一系列的岛屿浮潜于丛林探险,超便宜的shopping,五光十色的夜生活及热情友善的人民,这里是泰国西南部的普吉岛(Phuket)及甲米岛(Krabi),这里是旅行度假的天堂!

2013农历新年前夕,抛下了沉重的课业及实验,带着放松的心情,我终于踏上了这片美丽的土地..54夜的跳岛自由行,尝遍了在地美食,走访了名胜风景,我开始渐渐的喜欢上了这里.. :D

审美观是种很主观的东西,每个人都有不同的标准,但有一些风景,无论白天黑夜,无论谁遇见了都会不由自主的被它所吸引,仿佛它的存在就为了向人们诠释美丽的定义.. 而普吉及甲米属于这一类的存在.. :)

普吉及甲米的po文在网上可说是泛滥成灾,各种游记攻略让人眼花缭乱,所以这次就不赘词形容旅游心情啦,只简单的让图片说故事,毕竟口说无凭,眼见为实,再附上些超实用的旅游小撇步,让大家旅游玩得尽兴,回家后也不会为了钱包大失血而揪心 XD

~行程&Tips^^

Departure via AirAsia @ LCCT Sepang. 
Day 1:中午LCCT飞向甲米》check in AoNang Cliff View Resort》到AoNang  beach送太阳公公回家》krabi town夜市边走边吃。
AoNang Cliff View Resort, highly recommended :)
*一般到甲米住在AoNang beach附近是最佳选择(到普吉则住Patong beach附近),吃喝玩乐都很方便。Krabi airport AoNang可搭乘白色小巴,一口价150bhat。在krabi活动者可搭songthaewAoNangKrabi Town大约50-60bhat

*除了了机场之外,在Krabi Phuket走跳无论任何事情记得货比三家及杀价,这里无论食物衣物饰品手信 出海配套等都可以杀价,通常在海边旁大路上的店家物品价格都偏高,和海边有些距离的店家则较便宜。举个例子在海边的椰子水60bhat,在krabi夜市则只卖20bhat,而且清甜可口 :)
Honey Pancake @ AoNang Road
Chilling @ AoNang beach
Full body Thai massage by AoNang beach, 200bhat/hr 
Sunset @ AoNang

*若要狂嗑小吃及shopping建议在Krabi进行,这里基本消费相对来说比Phuket来得低。尤其推荐krabi夜市(只在周五、六、日晚营业),便宜好吃多元化,200bhat就可吃得饱翻天的说。(深情推荐BBQ猪肉串,Pathai,炸鱼饼,椰子水.. XD)

Day2Krabi to Phuket by van, check in Sun Beach House PatongPatong town趴趴走,eat & shoppingBang La road纸醉金迷红灯区

Patong, Phuket
TukTuk @ Patong, Phuket
Chocolate Banana Pancake @ Patong Beach road


*来回Krabiphuket有许多方法(渡轮,快艇,巴士,九人座mini van),选择mini van是因为方便及便宜(350-400bhat),而且时间不会太长(大约3小时)。

*Bang La road Phuket夜生活的中心,沿路有分支,一般都是买一瓶啤酒(150bhat)就可以免费看秀,比大街上的好多了。
Bang La Road @ Patong, Phuket, Thailand.

Day 3: 搭快艇出海跳岛去,游泳浮潜看风景-Phi Phi Island, Maya Bay, Viking cave, Phi Phi Don Island, Khai Nai Island..patong town搜寻道地泰国海鲜当晚餐》泰式全身按摩,好害羞又好舒服 :P


Sun Beach House lobby, warm & cosy :) 

crowded  beach @ Maya Bay, time to escape into the charming Sea :D

Snorkeling & swimming @ Maya Bay
Recharging-Buffet lunch @ Phi Phi Don Island.
Khai Island, perfect spot for snorkeling & fish feeding b^^d






Khai Island, my favorite snorkeling spot b^^d 

super clear water @ Khai island, I'm lovin' it~ ^^

*推荐Kaab Gluay Restaurant,便宜道地又好吃(Sea Food Tom Yam Soupyellow chicken currypineapple/herbal/phuket style fried rice,泰式蒜炒螃蟹及饮料一共才1200bhatCP值超高的),不过距离Patong Beach有点远,可搭tuktuk前往,我们和司机说好来回接送450bhat
Kaab Gluay Restaurant @ Phuket
Kaab Gluay Restaurant Thai style fried rice :)
Delicious Tomyam, Yellow Curry, Chicken Omlet &Crab @ decent price :D 
Day4: Phuket to Krabi by van, check in Glur Hostel AoNang》出海跳岛接力进行,sunset & night snorkelling新奇刺激-Poda Island, Chicken Island, Tup Island..AoNang road 吃烧烤,看夜景。
Glur Hostel @ AoNang, feels like home here :)
*Poda Island & Khai Island较适合不会游泳的朋友,在沙滩边便会有许多鱼儿在脚边游走,Si island & Mei Urai Island等的deep water snorkelling则是游泳爱好者的天堂,漂浮在深不见底的安达曼海上,与深蓝色的海水和浪花搏斗。要提醒的是安达曼海风浪较大,2-3米是海浪的基本高度,而且有暗流,所以须多注意安全。 :)

until next time!~ :D
Simple BBQ dinner + Fire Show @ Tup Island
Day 5: Souvenir Shopping @ AoNang,道别前最后一次吃喝玩乐》afternoon flight back to LCCT
AoNang road view early in the morning :)
Last day breakfast, BBQ chicken & mango sticky rice :) 
**Phuket & Krabi一般先网上预定住宿即可(agodakayak.com etc..),交通及游玩配套可到了当地再找(会比网上订购来得便宜,大约1000-1200bhat),无论Krabi/Phuket大街上都有满满的agencies,只要说好价钱再提供住宿酒店名字即可,agencies会安排车子到府接送及一切行程,不过记得询问细节(时间,价钱是否包括提供饮料,浮潜配备,午/晚餐,搭乘的船型等)。
Return flight to M'sia, AirAsia in green. Bye Thailand, I'll be back!~ :D
这次行程可说是近乎完美,热情友善的泰国人让我们一路心情好的不得了,浮潜购物吃喝玩乐都超尽兴的;唯一可惜的是来回机票都由在甲米机场起降,若转换成LCCT>Krabi>Phuket>LCCT则更完美无缺了 :D

诚意推荐-泰国跳岛必备:泳装,背心,短裤,拖鞋,小毛巾,防晒油,大量矿泉水,小食,相机 & $$  :D

台湾小吃 Taiwan Recipe @ SungaiWang



最后一个以美食为主题的po文已经是快100天前的事情了,虽然间中偶尔都会到处去搜些好吃的犒赏自己,但却一直没po到部落格上,原因很简单,因为要po就得先拍照,而对一个吃货而言美食当前要忍住不马上扑上前去抢食而选择举起相机对焦,那我只能说“对不起,办不到!”XD

不过话说回来,前些时候刚巧到Bkt Bintang游荡,为了食评比赛特地到了Sg Wang台湾小吃吃了一圈,所以这篇po文就诞生啦..*掌声鼓励*

台湾小吃@ Sg Wang

开放式厨房

店面
话不多说,直接切入主题,餐馆的环境不错,宁静温馨,开放式厨房让人一目了然,干净卫生,服务生态度也蛮nice的。话说当天点了一个卤肉饭套餐,一个小吃(棺材板)外加饮料(茉莉花泡沫绿茶)。

卤肉饭套餐 + 棺材板 + 茉莉花绿茶

作为台湾米饭界的一哥卤肉饭的地位可说是举足轻重,大概就和咱们的nasi lemak差不多。台湾小吃的卤肉饭套餐还蛮丰富的,一碗卤肉饭外加三样小菜(卤鸡蛋+卤豆干,贡丸汤,油葱烫白菜),有点可惜的是卤肉饭味道一般般,卤肉&饭的口感普通,反倒是贡丸汤让人眼睛为之一亮,清甜的汤头配上超大颗的Q弹猪肉丸,口感十足。

贡丸汤,赞 b^^d

卤蛋&豆干
棺材板是这次的重点,作为台南历史悠久的经典小吃,這特别的點心在台湾可是非常受欢迎的。炸得金黄酥脆的厚片面包中心掏空后灌上丰富的切丁内馅(香菇,豌豆,玉米,萝卜,蟹柳),淋上浓浓的勾芡,外酥内滑的口感层次多变让人回味无穷~

"棺材板",记得一定要趁热吃,酥脆的外皮加上温热的勾芡,满足啊~

饮料就不多说了,散发茉莉花香的绿茶冰冰凉凉的,不会太甜,顺口好喝:)

茉莉花绿茶
一个人嗑得饱到喉咙了也才RM25,CP值不错哦.. ^__^

Nuffnang Skytrex Adventure @Bukit Cahaya Shah Alam


Deep within the urbanized Shah Alam lies a sanctuary of mother nature, a forest reserve which located right beside the populated city of Shah Alam, a place where refreshing air and greenery scenes are at abundance.

If you’re looking for a “back to nature getaway”, Bukit Cahaya Sri Alam Agricultural Park (a.k.a. National Botanical Garden Shah Alam) is just the perfectly fun and healthy spot where you can settle back & relax in the arms of nature. Being the world's first agro-forestry park, This, 1258ha site offers some of the most remarkable tropical vegetation, birds and animals, interesting nature trails (parks & gardens, four season house)  and lots more, which you can explore by either cycling, shuttle bus or jogging if you’re confident with your stamina.. :P


And if you’re a man of excitement, here’s something you don’t wanna miss——Skytrex Extreme Challenge Outdoor AdventureCircuit, a circuit located within the agricultural park which promise nothing but excitement and adrenalin rush, an opportunity to test your agility, will power, bravery & determination. :)

With 34 challenges of medium to hard difficulty (flying fox, tarzan swing, dragon bones etc.), on tree platforms up to 22 metres high, Skytrex offers challenges in 3 packages consisting Little Adventure, Big Thrill & Extreme Challenge which suitable for all age groups from children to adults.

 Little adventure for the littles.. ^^
To kick start the year of 2013 with excitement 30 Nuffnangers were invited to the Skytrex Adventure to experience the awe-inspiring Big Thrill & Extreme Adventure few days back. Claiming as a man of hardcore I took the extreme challenge without any hesitation and it wasn't long before I understand the fact that “Extreme” is sort of an understatement. XD

So here’s how the story goes…

TGV One Utama Nuffnang Premiere Screening Double Shot Part 2- The Last Stand Movie Review



The Last Stand
“The most notorious, wanted leader of Mexican drug cartel busts out from an FBI prisoner convoy, hurtling toward the US Mexico border at 200 mph in a modified Corvette ZR1 with a hostage and a fierce army of gang members. Summerton Junction is the last hope of interception of whole of U.S. law enforcement, could they make this final shot count?!”


After seven years governating, Arnold Schwarzenegger is finally back to what he does best, starring in action movies. The Last Stand is a decent comedic action movie with high standard Hollywood action package, lots of fire power, fist-pumping, guns-blazing& extensive bloodshed scene, cool sport cars etc.. A very entertaining movie but if you’re expecting elements of suspense and twisted plot, you might feel disappointed as the movie comes with a rather simple & monotonous plot which completely predictable. However there’s quite some comedic touch which nicely scatter throughout the movie, and with Arnold staring a terminator style tough guy with a shot gun is something to be expected.

some nice gifts from the premiere, thanx to nuffnang :)

Rating 7.3/10

TGV One Utama Nuffnang Premiere Screening Double Shot Part 1-M A M A Movie Review



Sisters Victoria and Lilly vanished from their suburban neighbourhood without a trace on the day that their parents were killed.. Since then, their Uncle Lucas and his girlfriend, Annabel, have been madly searching for them. Incredibly, five years later the kids are found alive in a decrepit cabin, they were rescued and begin a new life, living together with their Uncle Lucas & Annabel. But the question remains ——How did the broken girls left alone in the forest for 5 years survive?..or should they wonder, how alone were they?..  

M A M A..Love never dies..
Originated from Muschietti's Spanish-language short film, Mamá (2008), presented by Guillermo del Toro (creator of Pan’s Labyrinth), Mama is definitely an above average horror premise. Despite certain common horror flicks used by many other horror movies and the rather predicted ending, Mama offered often enough clever bits and some genuine promise, for the more obvious moments that foray into cliché territory Staring of Jessica Chastain (Annabel), Isabelle Nélisse (Lilly) and Megan Charpentier (Victoria) is a rather impressive highlight.

This is the only horror movie which actually reminds me of my all time favourite——“Shutter”(Thailand). So if you’re still in doubt, just go.... you won't regret it.


Tics fr d premiere, thnx to nuffnang ^^
