I'm not sponsored by the premises or any brand to write on this post. Hence, any content written in this post is written is completely my honest thoughts.
So here's the review of the accommodation that I've booked throughout my holiday at Krabi (you may read all about it by clicking here =) <shall update this link soonest possible> )
Enjoy reading and pamper your eyes through the picture I've taken with mostly my phone Huawei P20 Pro.
First question you might have asked, how do I choose my accommodation since there are tons of choices? Trust me, I've been there and I had so many doubts as well to choose the place that I'm gonna stay for few days during the holiday. It gives me HEADACHE !! =(
Thanks to
Booking.com, I managed to see the different premises at Krabi and to which beach they closer to. FYI, there are few beaches such as Ao Nang (visited the most by tourists), Railay, Phra Nang, Tonsai, Klong Muang, Nopparat Thara and Tubkaak. Since I've stayed at Ao Nang before, this time I tried somewhere else which is Klong Muang.
Apparently as per the review I read, Klong Muang is one of the beaches that started to become famous for tourism. However, it's only for those looking for peaceful holiday (no noisy party unlike Ao Nang) with their loved ones (be it friends or family). This is the main reason why I made my decision to stay near this beach =)
There are few different accommodations at Klong Muang, and I decided at Pelican as it suited my budget and from the pictures I saw through their own website or booking.com. I've read some of the reviews, some mentioned that the premise is quite old and needed renovation, suited more for family holiday and not for couple (😞😞) and that moment was crushing me .. Why you asked? Simply because I planned this holiday for my boyfriend as his birthday trip and I hope to have good time spent as couple and learning about each other even deeper. But anyway, doesn't matter as I've booked and it's not refundable cancellation, so I just have to go ahead with it.
A plus point before I even visited the place is for their efficiency and effort the staff took to reply to my questions on the platform given. I requested to have my check out at 6pm as our flight is at 10pm. I know it's kinda not possible, but I still give it a shot. To my surprised, they actually giving me late check out until 2pm (good enough !! but I still want to have it at 6pm LOL). So, I asked them if there's any cost incurred if I really want to extend it to 6pm (for 4 hours from 2pm). AND YES !! They will only charged me at THB 1,000 (estimated around SGD $40) which I found it quite reasonable =)

Without further ado, let's see what Pelican Residences and Suites look like !! =)
I would say that I'm quite impressed (although it looks like quite an old property just like what some reviews mentioned) but at least it is still looking good. There is quite a short distance walk from the security guard post to the reception but if you booked your tour, they will always pick up and drop you off at the reception so no worries ! =)

You can even say a prayer every single time you go out or come back as they have Four Face Buddha statue at the entrance =)

The employees are really friendly ! The check-in process was fast (probably cause we were the only one checking haha) but yeah, everything went smoothly and it took around less than 10 minutes =)
 |
| The refreshing welcome drink !! Totally love it =) |
Scroll below for more picture of the property =) The facilities are quite complete, from fitness center, business center, kids club, and swimming pool.

The swimming pool is bit small, but it still looks okay since we only utilized the pool on the very last day (the jacuzzi is not working 😐quite sad).

So as you can see from the pictures, the property is not that big hence you will definitely find this place quite private if you are travelling as couple =) But to be honest, this place is popular for family who travel with kids as well (since I think the room is quite spacious to fit)
Let me bring you to the room pictures. For your info, I booked the lowest category which is Deluxe Suite (fit for two persons) and oh my ! I was extremely surprise cause it looks like a Studio unit !! It only cost me at SGD 300+ for all 3 nights =)

Isn't the room looks impressing? It also has balcony that can be accessed from the living room and bedroom and direct access to the swimming pool !! So basically we can access the swimming pool whenever we want to 😇
