Before setting off from Phi phi on the ferry, a couple of fellow travellers told me "Dont bother staying in Krabi" and "There's nothing to see there". I'm glad I didn't take their advice.
The first day there was spent kayaking in a nearby area of mangrove forest on an estuary. It was brilliant, went through caves amongst the karsts and saw some ancient paintings on the side of one cliff. I considered it a good workout for the day as well. The next day i took the plunge and hired a moto for the day. Rather scary at first but was soon scooting along like no-ones business. Got to see some decent beaches up the coast as well as going to the Tiger cave temple. Whilst there I climbed the 1237 steps up to the top of a karst to the buddha statue at the top. That was the lower body workout sorted. From the top there were breathtaking views across the province and out to sea. Well worth it.
So all in all it was a busy few days. Ive crossed over to the Gulf coast and am residing on Ko Samui. Hope this place is as good as Krabi.
