Krabi report

This is a follow up to some queries about Krabi now.

SNIP

The beach is nowhere spectacular. If you want the convenience of
having a beach at your doorstep, go to Tonsai or Railey Beach. But
expect to get drenched by the sea when transferring between the
airport and your hotel as these beaches are only assessible by boats.
These beaches are spectacular (complete with topless swedes), along to
Phang Nga Beach.

Phang Nga Beach? You mean Phra Nang beach which literally means Princess¨
Beach.
Phanga Nga is a province much further to the north beyond Phuket.


Food/Shopping - No good local Thai food in Ao Nang (you do NOT use
ketchup to make Pad Thai). Good low season and decent bargains for
Italian food at Rialto at 100 bh for any pizza, 110 bh for any pasta.
For good local thai, go down to Krabi town.

I am 100 percent with you on that one. Check out the night market close to
the ferry pier at the river for some of the best, varied and very
inexpensive dishes.

Make room for pirated CDs
and DVDs in Ao Nang drag. Anything else is a total rip-off.

So if you're going to Krabi right now.. pack your umbrellas and bring
lots of reading material or a playmate.
