Krabi Day one part 2

Remember I told you we're gonna push back at 1355 local? We actually boarded about 1340 and by 1345 we have completed boarding.

It amazes me how they, Airasia managed to educate the passengers and how motivated their staff are. The passengers only bring in small hand carry and even before they clear immigration there's another team filters the passenger's cabin baggage. I guess in the end when the passengers knows that they will NEVER win the baggage arguments they just plain give up bringing in extra weight. Allowance is only 7kg. Now I wondered. 7 kg? That's like 7000 grams. My BALLS weight more that that duh.

Oh they intercepted our kite and hmm we have to check it in. Bye bye kite... We're gonna miss you.

Although we bought the hot seat, Airasia don't actually honor their part of the bargain where we're supposed to board first. There seems to be a bunch of non hot seat passengers boarded before us. Luckily the bus is not too crowded. Flight generally was good. As per Malaysian Hostility's tag line " beyond expectation " actually. Seat wasn't that bad either. But I can see Bebet refused to get comfy. I tried to make Bebet's journey better but...you can only do so much. In the end I gave up. I remembered those days the seat is non reclineable and the space is so cramp. Surprise surprise not this time though. Captain for the day is captain Arel. How come I remember his name? That is because he got the same name as the legendary Peter porn guy hehehe. Oh another thing is this guy landed really smooth. The kind of landing we aviator deemed " greaser " landing. Well the runway is a bit damp but excuses aside, I was expecting the Airasia legendary hard landing but instead a smoothy. Not bad at all. I'm impressed. Oh, what has damp runway got to do with a "greaser"? According to fairytales, it supposed to cushion the impact of the touchdown. Oh well whatever.

It rained in Krabi. Grey sky greeted us. We disembark first hm not quite, second in fact. Cleared immigration ( again ) and then the bags. I can't help to notice, Thais are very proud people. It's hard for them to greet you with a genuine smile unlike the Balinese. Now I know why I keep on loving the Balinese. BH- Bali hospitality god I miss em so fuckin much. I smiled at the immigration officer but she didn't return the favor. Whatever. I'm on holiday and you're bloody working on a weekend ha bloody ha ha. Err maybe that's why she's so grumpy? Like I give a fuck.

Waited for the bags for about 15 minutes. First my bag and guess what? The smiley kite survived the checked in baggage !!! O.M.G. I'm impressed. I was a bit worried when bebet's bag didn't turn up with my bag. I was thinking, she's gonna be so pissed if the bag is still in LCCT...in the end the bag turned up just a lil bit late. God it's like dodging bullets. Can't help to feel everything is my fault.

The transport guy waited for us. There were 8 of us in the van. 4 of them are Indy, 2 Malay couple. Let me rephrase, 2 fucking snobbish Malay couple. Oh well you fuckers can rot in your 3 stars hotel ha bloody ha ha. But then again they're staying in Aung Nam. That's the happening part of town by the way.

Next destination? Sheraton Krabi Beach Resort. Took us about 25 minutes to reach the hotel from Aung Nam. The driver says 45 minutes from the airport and we reached Aung Nam about an hour later and from Aung Nam he says 15 minutes and were there about 25 so I guess his watch is still tuned to 20 b.c's time.

The hotel is...super!!! At first nobody greet us at the lobby, that effect actually compounded my belief that these people only want my money, no, OUR money but did not provide us with the service but the when the bell boy saw us he took care of our bags and guess what? We don't even have to queue up at the reception counter but everything is provided for. The reception lady even ushered us to our room. Did I mention we got a free triple upgrade? Pretty cool huh. Or is it low season? Hmmm like I care :) The room is pretty cozy and the hotel is ... Q u i e t and I'm loving it. I think age is catching up with me. I love to bathe in quietness. I think I'll feel at home in a library. Like...duh

Bebet is slow to thaw. She lie on the bed and watch her universe super duper world hyper bestest show on the planet... American Idol. She watched it like gazzilion time and she still watch it. Same goes with DC cupcakes and the kardashian... I don't really mind though. As long as she is happy, I'm happier. Here I am like can't wait to jump to the sea and play my kite and snapping away hehe. Went to the beach like 1 hour before sunset and the beach is, sorry to say but it is not that impressive... A lil bit disappointed I guess.

Had our dinner infront of the hotel. Nuff said, it's a rip off. Went shopping at 7-eleven and then call it a day. All in all, it's not that bad I guess. Sometimes my expectation get the best ( or worse ) of me. I didn't know bebet loathe Airasia with all her heart and I guess I deserve the treatment. Gosh some customers are really hard to pleased. Hehehe

Good night for now. Another 6 more days to go... Sawadeekap
