Porto Romano in TTDI

I have passed by this Porto Romano in TTDI for 2 years,  and finally I dined there!

dining area

It is quite a nice place, I felt quite awkward walking in with home shirts and shorts…the atmosphere is better than TGIs and those.

fresh scallop spaghetti

Fresh scallops spaghett, RM32, was recommended on their menu. Although the scallops are not damn big, but at least there was so much of them! And the sauce is very very tasty.

petrol station

Right after lunch, the first thing we did was searching for a petrol station, or they call it gasoline there. Petrol in Ao Nang is more expensive compared to Krabi town due to the fact that they have to transport the petrol from the town to small town. It is RM4.30/l. Luckily motorbikes are very fuel-efficient. The meter in the middle is actually for display only. They have to manually pump the petrol up then use the lever to adjust the amount of petrol that you want to buy.

traditional hose

Even the hose is very old school…

tropical herbal spa & resort

After that, we decided to treat ourselves to a spa. After scouting around few places, we found the cheapest spa package we thought. RM90 for jacuzzi, steam and an hour of thai-massage.

resort

Ta dah! Tropical Herba Spa & Resort. Nice place indeed. Everything is natural there.

There is so much I want to write about my trip in Krabi, and looking at the pictures, I realized that I have too much to write.

sun-tanning

Upon arrival at our hotel – Phra Nang Inn, this was my first sight of the blue sea, some man sun-tanning there like some salted fish. The sun in Krabi seemed 1000000x stronger than sun in Malaysia.

our hotel

Ta dah! Our hotel. It is more like a chalet style. I think there are only about 40 rooms there. Neat and tidy. And it is cheap! It is about less than RM200/nite/room.

neat and comfy bed

Awww look at the bed! Nice and tidy.

toilet

Bathroom is nicely decorated as well.

menu in thai

We were dead hungry after checking in. There were 13 of us, so we rented 7 motorbikes to go around the places. You do not need a license, or a helmet to ride in the town. We had our lunch by this roadside stall.
