Krabi, Thailand

It has been a month I did not update anything here. I was kind of busy with new project. I hope this not stopping me from travelling. My boss should understand I'm a traveller.

I went to Krabi last June. Here are some updates on my travelling experience. At first I thought Krabi is an island, but after reading and browsing internet then I discover its in the mainland of Thailand. I took Airasia (free ticket.. hehe) to Krabi. Reached airport at noon then I took shuttle bus to Krabi La Playa Hotel Ao Nang. Airport Shuttle to Ao Nang is baht 150 per person, to Krabi town ~ baht 100. Not many flights coming into Krabi so the Shuttle Bus is actually follow the flight schedule. Krabi Province is on the west coast of Southern Thailand. The feature of Krabi is the massive limestone karsts, rising vertiginously out of the flat rice paddies on land and as islands from the sea. Add in some gorgeous beaches and excellent scuba diving and rock climbing, and its little wonder that tourism in the area has been booming.

While less commercialized than neighbouring Phuket, Krabi Province cannot be described as undiscovered: it receives two million visitors a year, and the major tourist areas cater extensively for foreigners.

Krabi is hot and humid all year round, with peak temperatures around April. The rainy season arrives in the fall and drizzles until about November, during which time many hotels and bars close, and the sea can get rough and some ferries (including those to Ko Lanta) stop running. High season is November-April inclusive, when it's a little cooler; the peak tourism period spans Christmas and New Year.

Ao Nang - Krabi's most developed beach. Fringed by palms, the long beach is backed by a wide range of accommodation including resorts, bungalows and guesthouses, and Krabi's best selection of restaurants.
