Rocky you will always have a different view than most on here. Why? You are a low budget tourist who comes a couple of times a year until your funds run dry. Most of us are living here, expatriated to Thailand. Two totally different perspectives on the country. Plus you recycle the same shtick too often, and here we go again..

You are a pensioner who tells people what to do. You could just answer the topic but that is not your forte. You are also jealous because I've seen more of Thailand than you.

Lets discuss the topic. By living here we can drive and explore destinations in depth. You underrate Krabi, yet I bet you have not been to these sites at all.

First we have the Blue Lagoon pool you hike up to and the swimming hole just below it.

Then we have the hot springs which are among the best I have found in Thailand. Then you can enjoy the mangrove walk through the groves with crystal clear water to cool off and swim in. There is much more than Ao Nong and Raillay in Krabi.

Finish off the day on the outskirts of Krabi town and climb the 1250 steps up to the temple. Hard, in fact very hard slog, but so rewarding at the top.

Rocky! We definitely need more new threads from you. Don´t overdo it now. One a day for the morning coffee would be nice, so we just get confirmed we can control ourselves and refrain from getting hot coffee in our lungs.

Depends, relative to, but for myself, depending who here talking about TH, they usually overrate TH, as in 'their' best interest, or underrate it, as having little experience, and are the grumpy, never out of their '15 minute city' environment.

Myself, comparing to past experiences, TH is way overrated by most ... BUT ... very nice landscape, when you can see it, think outside smog season.

Museums, a couple nice ones, though extremely repetitive: Phimai HP, Phanom Rung HP, Mueang Sing HP (Kanchanaburi), Ban Chiang (Udon), if into history.

Art museums, come down to 'eye of beholder', and Thai's are crap, compared to others I've visited. One at Pak Chong, Khao Yai Art Museum (private collection) was only nice one, and 'art' is a stretch.

Not much if anything in TH, is 'world class', IMHO Not a dig, just reality, if you been elsewhere. I can get the 'Asian flare' at any Chinatown section of any major USA city. Though may have to plead ignorance, as never been to China, S. Korea or Japan.
