Spending Time in Krabi

Most visitors to Krabi fall into three different categories.
To start with, we see the (usually) European Holiday Makers who come to Thailand for two to three weeks of which, the first few days will be spent in Bangkok, maybe a few more in Chiang Mai and the last week relaxing on a beach in the south somewhere.

These people tend to stay in the higher bracket hotels which come as part of a package tour. The second group are the "Go as I Please" travelers who have a little more time to spare and don't want to be tied down by a particular tour or company. They may stay a week or more and in the same hotels as holiday makers or they may choose the bungalows that abound.

Their most important criteria is the ability to change and move about freely.

The final group would be the "Backpacker" brigade. Nowadays, this is not just a group of longhaired travelers looking for everything at a discount.

It may even be a little unfair to label some of them this way but the group refers to those who really have time on their hands and may spends weeks, even months, enjoying the delights of Krabi, and Thailand in general.
