But Au Nang (20 minute bus from Krabe) was wonderful. Didn't make it to Phuket so can't comment. In Au Nang, go up the hill near McDonalds and Starbucks for some inexpensive places to stay and not too long a walk down to the beach. It's always more expensive across from the beach. |  Chocolatemonkee Jason Ball Post Count: 87 Msg: #4 18 days ago, November 3rd 2009 | Krabi is a great place to just chill out (no beach). A trip to the tiger temple (no tigers to be found), the night markets, and lots of quiet time. There are fewer tourists here as opposed to Ao Nang and Phi Phi. Of course the nightlife is considerably more quiet but you may want to just hang out at the NM and people watch. | Phuket can be just as quiet if you stay away from Patong and the other beach areas but it will require a little more work. We were in areas of Phuket Town that were so quiet that you wouldn't know that a night life existed. Try Krabi out and if you find it too quiet, head to Ao Nang for a livelier time. As VanIsland suggests, there are some cheaper places near the Mickey D's. But as usual, get there early to score them.

Then you can take the local busses from the day market to the various beaches and back. When I was there, I stayed in Phukett town and hung out on a different beach everyday.

SandyVW Sandy Post Count: 3 Msg: #8 16 days ago, November 5th 2009 | about bht5000 as will be staying at Centara grand beach resort in krabi for 3 nights and that is taking up big chunk of budget, but by all accounts the reviews imply it is magnificent?!! |  Rat on the Road Kris and Kate Post Count: 412 Msg: #9 15 days ago, November 6th 2009 | 2 posts deleted. Please keep the thread on topic. i.e. It is about Thailand, not China. Also please don't post contact details on forums. | Thanks! Chocolatemonkee Jason Ball Post Count: 87 Msg: #10 12 days ago, November 9th 2009 | With that kind of budget, you are sure to be able to find a quiet little slice of heaven no matter what beach you pick. | Number of Users: 6 | Number of Posts: 10 | ||||||||||||||||||
