2) Kayaking. This is a must-do activity, even for the lazy (guides who paddle for you can be hired at extra cost). Exploring vast and peaceful mangrove-lined canyons and caves in a silent boat gives you the opportunity to see birds, monkeys and lizards up close.

DAY FOUR (March 31, 2012 – Saturday): Visit the famous forest temple at Tiger Cave and climb the 1237 stairs to the mountain-top shrine - the views are breathtaking.

3) Thai massage price range from 200 – 350 Baht per hour

4) Don’t bring so many long pants/nice clothing/sport shoes to Krabbi

5) All trips can be arranged the day before, and it is unlikely that they will all be full.

6) I would advise to stay off the main beach strip when it comes to eating. There are a lot of good food places, and the beach front seems to be more pricey and not so great food. There are some excellent places to eat at the end of the beach road, with the restaurants on stilts overlooking the ocean.

7) The hotel is about 3 to 5 mins walking distance to Ao Nang busy area / beach, where you can finds lots foods, massage parlours, mani/pedi, lots lots angmohs, ..etc.

8) There are numerous tour shops along Ao Nang Main Street so you can book the 4 islands tour which is pretty common. The elephant ride and white water rafting seem to be in a package and can also be booked. Wow! The elephant and the raft were marvellous! You will have to take a van to Phang Nga which is about 2 hrs ride from Krabi.

9) Besides of islands hoping, u must go for kayaking it is really enjoyable to see the cave tunnel. Opt for the full day tour, they will bring u to a crystal clear stream for a dip.
