I am left spellbound and mystified by Krabi. Sweet, simple and oh so relaxing. If I ever need a break from the corporate world in the future I'll take a two weeks stay in Krabi. I'm so impressed by this little city because the people seem to live their lives day by day, unbound by the gross fixations of the rest of the world.
No frills or spills, just utterly content with what they have. You can watch the locals, the long tail boat sailors sitting happily with the rest of his co-workers. There's always a laugh and always a story.
You do not even see 90% of the amount of beggars Bangkok has. I've only seen three or four throughout the trip.
Tips for those free and easy in Krabi:
- Bring your own deck of cards, entertainment at pubs is always Connect-4.
- Stay at a guesthouse.
- Research what is there to do so you'll never be left with nothing to do.
- There won't be any souvenirs to buy so unless your luggage could fit 40 hats for your corporate section and friends, don't feel so guilty.
- On your return trip, don't get stranded in an 'unsafe' country for hours during transit just because you didn't want to pay for your ticket and opted for the $0 ticket from tiger airways.
- If you do transit into Kuala Lumpur do not get a 'chop' or you won't be able to purchase any duty free alcohol - it's sadddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd.
