Continued from part 1
The Saviour
Since, I missed my flight, the higher chances that I will missed the international flight as well. Well, just to recap from part 1, I supposed to take a domestic flight to the capital city airport for our international flight. The gap of my early flight and international flight was 5 hours, it was just nice for the international boarding.
But, since I missed the very first flight of the day, it jeopardize the international flight, as soon as I inform mr PIC about I missed my flight. He asked me to go to the counter. Well, at the moment, I was very disappointed and giving ups. My PIC insist me to check on the next flight. So, I had no time to entertain those disappointment feelings as I am busy on checking the cheapest flight from all the airlines company.
As I roaming around while constantly updating to mr PIC, he informed me his brother giving me a money to bought the ticket within the allocated budget. Well, I received the money by cash as his brother was the guy who fetched me to the airport early on (that’s another story let's skip that part). Eventually, I bought the ticket and it was the earliest, cheapest and available.

However, another trouble in place which was the flight bound to another terminal. My international flight was at the second terminal, I need to take the fastest mode of transportation which the speed train that took only 5 minutes between the terminal but that was excluding the waiting time of the train.
With that calculation, I became aware that I am totally going to missed the international flight as well. I became overwhelmed with negatives feeling. Not just I cannot make it on time, I even bought an expensive last minutes ticket which according to my PIC he borrowed from his brother first.
So, in the phone, I told my PIC that we cancel the plan, and just spend our time at the capital city. Then, mr PIC said you don’t have think a lot just come here we will sort it out together.
Well, I boarded myself into the newly bought flight ticket, the 2 hours plus flight felt like a full day of flight. I felt terrible. In my silence, I prayed a lot. I hated every moment of it. I keep on remembering the ground attendant words about I missed my flight. I keep wishing that I can turn back time.
As soon the flight arrived, I get myself up and out as quick as possible from the plane. I was remain hopeful that we will not going to miss the international flight. I rushed my self to the train station with my backpack. It took a few minutes when the train arrived at the station and another five minutes to the second terminal. Still, I keep my paces quickly to meet my PIC.

I look at the time it was about few minutes before our international flight. I think we are too late. I saw Mr PIC, I think he might have noticed my gloomy looks gently ask how am I? I immediately apologized to him and tried my best to hide my sadness.
So, I guess we are canceling the trip. Then, he said to me, “ No worry I bought us a new tickets to krabi already. It was at late afternoon.” I was aware that it might be very expensive and ask him the price. Rather than answering that question he said to you don’t have to think about the price now instead of lets enjoy our first trip together.
How sweet it was for him to say so but I am became more disappointed as I was the cause of all the problems. I could give a very sincere smile. I think he aware about it and always try to create topics to distract my mind from overthinking about all those stupid moments.
The saviour also my partner in crime
I guess again mr PIC save my day today. I couldn’t even return him a favour for being a hero that day even a smile was so heavy for me to give. But, it was a relief to meet him anyway.
Krabi here we come
Okay, enough with the long sad part, so since we were early in the airport, we still proceed with the plan, yes, thought those moment still fresh yet I still feel a bit excited as this is my first international trip.
It my first time to experience how to pass the custom gates especially the automatic malaysian passport holder. With the ever positive partner in crime guidance, I made my scan easily. At least those things distract me.
Everything going smoothly thereafter. The custom experience was a new thing. And we was the first passenger to be at the departure hall. Well, mr PIC take the time to capture the very moment of us. I forced a smile and still keep myself to be positive.
It became much better as time passed by. All thanks to this guy.
Our plane arrived slight delay, but the boarding was great. And at around 1 hour 45 minutes, wallah we arrived at Krabi. It was small airport smaller than the one that in my hometown Sabah. All seems look just like my country the plants and the surrounding.
It was an hour late from my country so it is still late evening. Passing through the Thai immigration also another experience especially the moment we are scolded by the officer. It was because we did not book our hotel before hand. But as usual the brilliant of mr PIC he solved the issue quickly.
One of the pamplet and packages
The first things that we do after the immigration clearance was looking for a transport to our desire destination. It was quite small airport, the ticketing counter was really right after the immigration section which you only require flight down to lower floor and a few walks you found it.
So, as usual situation in airport, some travel agencies will promotes you their packages. Yup, as this our first international trip together, mr PIC went to one of them have a look and grabbed a package. Since, it was only 3 days two nights trip, and we came a little late from our initial plan, we only got the day of tomorrow for long activity.
Ao Nang
The package that we have selected was 4 Phi Phi Island tour, however as we haven’t had our accomodation the agent gave us their number to inform us where will we be picked up. Hence, we had our activity tomorrow, and I am looking forward to it.
Afterwards, mr PIC went to the nearby store to look for local telco sim card, and we managed to have one. Well, it is a necessity nowadays as internet can offer you a great help in time of need. So, we bought one for us and I will share the hotspot with him if I need to go to the net.
Welcome to Ao Nang
Right after that we are looking for the prices of transportation, of course the cheapest one will be the bus. The taxi fares are consider cheap too. But, mr PIC suggested that to try out the bus so we can experience the feelings of how the local bus system operate. Done bought the ticket we waited right in front the counter as the seller inform us they will call us if the bus is arrive which about 20 minutes.
20 minutes later, we found that they haven’t call usa and that the numbers of people at surround us was rather strange small of numbers, scared of being cheat, mr PIC went to ask at the counter. The workers there was surprised that we haven’t been call. Then, one of them quickly bring us to bus stand, which actually located at another building attached to the airport. That area full of people waiting there. So the mysteries of the small crowd is solved.
After been pointed our bus, we showed our ticket to the bus operator, and went up to the bus. The bus can fit in about 20 passengers, it is not a huge nor mini bus, instead it is moderate size bus. It is was just about 15 minutes wait and we depart, and the bus cruised along krabi sending tourist to their respectives accomodations area. Upon on the way, I observed all around and it is similar to my village area.
And about less than forty minutes, we arrived to our destination, by that time the sun was already set, we dropped ourselves to bus stop next to the Ao Nang beaches. As we yet to find our accomodations, so gearing up to look for hotels to stay in. And the adventure begin.
