The departure hall of Krabi International Airport is literally just a big room with shops on three sides and seating area placed right in the middle; it may not seem much but i feel it's better than the equivalent-sized Husein Sastranegara International Airport in Bandung.
There were a number of convenience stores where you can get snacks, drinks, souvenirs and also a book store where you can get something to read to rid yourself of the boredom while waiting for your flight.
Good thing about souvenirs purchased in airports are that their quality is usually better although correspondingly, the price is also likely to be higher. However, the fridge magnets here were actually priced quite competitively at only about S$2 apiece.
Fancy shopping for pearl jewelry?
A black canyon coffee takeaway outlet; i always prefer branded coffee chains as the drinks are at least consistent in their taste. Pricing wise, a hot mocha (large) had a price tag of 120 baht; is it considered expensive? Compared to Singapore starbucks, i think it's still cheaper.
Another coffee joints; Doi Chaang coffee.
Health-conscious individuals may consider the bottled bird's nest but if you are concerned about animal rights, do note that the harvesting of bird's nest is considered controversial and its health benefits are contentious.
I thought one level was it but there's a lower level for duty free products! They really need to improve on their signage as not many people were checking it out!
Cosmetics, skincare products, snacks, perfumes, alcohol etc. Unlike the duty free shops at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport which is managed by King's Power, this one here is under Leon Duty Free.
I made a beeline for the Absolut Vodka display; i am actually a collector of the liquor even though i don't drink them. Unique and newly introduced bottles are needed to add to my collection and i already have everything that's on display.
One thing i really love from the retailers in Thailand is that they would publish top products favoured by tourists and i find them extremely helpful in assisting me to make my decisions. Taste is of course rather subjective and it's eventually your call.
Back at the waiting hall again; there were USB charging ports available. With the popularity of power banks, i don't really utilize them as much as i did in the past.
