Krabi Travel Guide for backpackers


Krabi Resort, the collective name for Ao Nang, Rai Ley, and Phra Nang, is becoming a very attractive destination as more people begin to realise that it is a great hub for trips to the other regions, as well as offering it’s own joys. It is best to visit the Krabi area over November through to April, and January /February being the perfect time weather wise.  

DAILY BUDGET in KRABI - A backpacker will make out fine on US$16 – 20 a day, for food and accommodation, and if he stretches his budget to US$31 a day he will be living in comfort and enjoying quite a few of the paying sights.

Kwam Im, the Goddess of Compassion (or Mercy)  - Check out this beautiful Chinese Goddess standing unusually close proximity to a Buddhist deity.

Sitting Buddha – Check out the serpents that make up the halo on this humongous sitting Buddha. Apparently the serpent king tried to take on the Buddha, but was overcome by his loving kindness instead. Cool, hey?

Limestone cliffs - The cliffs above Rai Ley are spectacular, and if you know what you doing, but only if you know what you are doing, you can climb them, the view from the top of this world-class climb, is … worth it!
