Krabi Islands Hopping and Cruising
2008-01-04 17:24:00 Activities and things to do:If you’re planning a day out at sea, the traditional wooden longtail boats found on all mainland beaches are your best option for independent island hopping. There are also frequent 'taxi boats' running from Ao Nang to Ton Sai and Railay Beach. These wait until they have enough passengers (in theory 5, but in high season they usually hold out for 10 or more) to depart. Buy coupons for the boats at the booth on the corner of the beach road opposite Phra Nang Inn.Prices for trips are fixed by the boatmen's club (i.e. are not able to be bargained down) and displayed on a board outside the ticket office. The prices are the same all year round and children under 12 travel free.Boats can also be found at Nopparat Thara; Chao Fah pier in Krabi Town; Klong Muang; and Railay. Prices may vary slightly from those in Ao Nang, depending on how much closer or further away from the destination you are. In these destinations you pay the driver directly (no tickets)....

KRABI - Thailand
2008-01-04 10:21:00 The best time to visit is soon. Rumor has it that the sleepy little town lying on the mainland opposite Phuket is set to become the latest hot tip on the international holiday scene. The rucksack crowd and a handful of sailors discovered Krabi a few years ago. They are not the only visitors to hope that it will be allowed to preserve its unspoilt charm for longer than Thailand's older resorts. As a town, Krabi has little to distinguish it from dozens of others between Samut Songkhran and Songkhla. Straddling the banks of the Krabi River, its sea views blocked by sandbars, at first sight it looks nondescript. Strung out along the coast, however, are pristine white sandy beaches, some only accessible by boat and most still blissfully empty as well as possessing all the essential picture-postcard attributes, from casuarinas and palm trees to transluccent water. Ao Phra Nang is the setting of the Dusit Rayavadee, latest scion of the Bangkok-based group. Re Lai is framed by gaunt cliffs...

Krabi People
2007-12-28 18:40:00 People of Krabi Cave paintings and artifacts found around Krabi indicate that the area has been inhabited since prehistoric times.Today the people of Krabi represent a mix of three different ethnic groups who came to settle from other regions. It is said that each ethnic group has written a page in Krabi's rich history.The origins of the Chao Ley or "Sea Gypsies" are unknown. Living mainly on the islands, these nomadic people live in small settlements and earn their living from fishing, collecting shells and diving.They still retain their own language and beliefs and spiritual worship is still strong in the community. Although overexposure to tourism, and inevitable assimilation with mainstream culture is unfortunately threatening their small communities.Some of their traditional ways are celebrated at the yearly sea gypsy sailing ritual held in May on Koh Lanta, Koh Pu and Koh Cha and various ceremonies are still celebrated within the community.In the late 19th and early 20th cent...

Krabi Town Guide
2007-12-28 18:20:00 Everything you need to know about Krabi Town Krabi Town is a functioning Thai town that's been around long before international tourists started to visit Krabi. It's charming, laid back, and as much as the word is overused, it's very local. Tourism has arrived, but Krabi Town doesn't jump through hoops to bring in foreigners; as the main commercial and transit point for the province, it doesn't need to. Its unique personality is a welcome contrast to the surrounding beach areas.The river is a hub of activity with fishing boats and river taxis ferrying both locals and visitors to spots near and far. It's the place to catch a ride to the surrounding beaches and islands. Many hurry to the big name destinations - Railay, Ao Nang, Koh Lanta, Koh Phi Phi - getting in and out of town as quickly as possible. But for those interested in a dose of genuine Thai culture and hospitality, sticking around Krabi Town for a bit is a rewarding experience.Where to Stay in Krabi TownThere are mor...

The scenery is overflowing with remarkable outcroppings of limestone that produce framing cliffs and peculiar formations.
