INSIDER'S TIPS
• Krabi
is still a young destination and many shops do not accept credit cards. Cash is king.

•
Try and tip if you were given excellent service. Rates range between THB 2O-3O (SGDO.85-1.25) - of course, you can tip more.

• Avoiding drinking the local tap water and ice at roadside stalls or you could get a case of the "runs"...

• Thai people are always cairn and polite. Under no circumstances will they face any situation with aggression. Therefore yelling and getting angry will accomplish nothing.

LASSO THE SOUL  - (by a Guest diary)
After two days of body-breaking activity, this Cowboy is ready to slow down and discover the soul of this place.

■ Krabi Town
It's no shopper's paradise, but in Krabi Town, bargain hunters will find quaint goods sold at shops proclaiming "One Tambon, One Product" (which translates to mean "One
province produces one product") which make excellent gifts and delicious chestnuts which are produced by Krabi province.

■ Night Markets
The night markets are also an experience: they are located in a different place each day of the week, and sell goods ranging from local delicacies, meat and clothing.

■ Night Life
There are no bright neon lights, girlie bars or other naughty diversions in Krabi. Unless you are shown around by a local, chances of you stumbling upon such a place are slim.
Crime is practically non-existent.
You can walk around town after dark without fear of being mugged Gem scams and unscrupulous taxi drivers do not exist here.
Simply put, this is one well-behaved town. The tourists who visit Krabi are middle-class, looking to unwind with their families.
Krabi is the region that holds Thailand's oldest-known settlement this area has been archaeologically proven to have been lived in 30,000 years ago! It is heartbreaking to watch the locals folk here being caught in the march of modernisation and struggling to maintain their traditional way of life, which is so charming to foreigners.
It's probably just a matter of time before the world discovers Krabi - and then it's Boomtown Charlie! But before that happens, there's still plenty of time for you to hop onto the next flight to Krabi and experience it for yourself.

BEST MONTHS
The best time to pay a visit to Krabi is during the November - March season when the weather is cool and comfortable... but the rain season feeling in the rain forest of Krabi is absolutely fantastic !!
