Yogjakarta - Part I

Yogjakarta |  Pre-departure

So, I finally bought  flight tickets to Yogjakarta. A bit expensive but I have no choice since it's school holidays and that's the only time we (as in me and my son can travel). The first leg is Penang to Kuala Lumpur, last flight out from Penang. I guess we'll be staying at the airport since our flight to Yogja is at 6.30 am. 

Been blog hopping about yogja, since I've never been there and I do not want to make mistakes and waste money and time for not doing a proper research. I actually take some info from each and every blogs that I visited and make decisions on what I want to experience while I'm there.

So, I actually booked three different hotels (yes, three!), The first hotel is at Pawon Cokelat the second is at Benetta House and the third one is at Ibis Adisucipto.  All booked through Booking.com. I wanted to experience three different type of accomodation.  Initially booked a room at Kaliurang which is near Merapi, but was advised by our supir it is too dangerous because it is near to Merapi, well, that's the reason why I booked there, I wanted to stay near Merapi. But I shall not take any risk, do not want to be in the headlines should anything happen.

Our hotel in Krabi

Krabi  |  22 December 2016

It was a very last minute plan to Phuket-Krabi-Haadyai This is a special entry about this particular hotel we stayed in Aonang. So, it was our first time to Phuket and Krabi, and since I was incharged of planning the whole trip (e.g hotel and transport bookings), I had to do some research on finding good hotels and reliable transports. Sangat stress especially when deciding where to stay, only had few days to search, do research and book the hotel rooms for us eleven people. As usual, I would use Booking.com and landed on Marina Express Fisherman Aonang,  fall in love the moment I saw the pictures and I tell you the hotel was exactly the same in the picture. The interior was simply gorgeous, too bad we only stayed for one night, it's just next to the mosque and walking distance to pasar malam, restaurants and shops. I dare not say the location is superb but we loved it nevertheless.
