Hi everybody,

just waking you Krabi posters up as I see since Simon's post on the 12th nothing happenning.

Songkran hangovers? Where were you for Songkran, was Ao Nang Beach road the big water throwing area?

What's happening in Krabi next week, anything?

Pipe in even just to say hi.

Cheers, GOM

Wish u a nice weekend. Kind regards from AoNang.

This forum is like Saladan Town in low season.

Fire a cannon off and no one there to notice !!!

Just joined the forum.I have been living here for 6 years.

Certainly seems sleepy.Maybe everyone is so zoned into their comfort zone that nothing rocks their boat.

Nobody complains about anything !!! It must be perfect!

Sorry it is not !!!!!

Hope to liven things up!

I used the popularity of the different forums as an initial filter to choose where to consider living for a while.

Absence of a lot of foreigners is good in my eyes, otherwise i can just stay where i am.

I now am considering a move to Krabi as there is a potential good school in the area. Was in Ao nang 10 years ago so i expect it to have gone the 'Samui' way. Hope a little bit away from the beach it is still free of the tourist bars and anything that is atracted by that.

When i am there i promise to be a little active in this forum.

Sure,

you get between Hat Napparat and Klong Muang and there is some neat open land, views of the big rock formations, still just a bike ride up from the beach, no bars.

Hope you are not big on BLT's as you won't find a lot of pork around.

We are looking (from a distance using internet) around Wat Klong Son. The school we consider is in that area.

Can not really find much on the internet, and i know it is best to just visit and walk around (Been living in thailand on and off for about 10 years).

Is there a supply of houses for rent, or is that still concentrated around other places. Not too picky but need at least 2 bedrooms and a garden.

Internet is a plus, otherwise i just use my mobile connection.

huge selection off properties to rent around krabi,ao nang and klong moung as you already know just take a drive round ao nang and surrounding areas obviously ao nang is the more expensive area krabi town real cheap.....

Good to hear, i guess rentals are more abundant now then a few years ago. Good for us, hope the landlords are not suffering too much. We are never in a hurry and take some time to explore the area.

Can someone give some estimates for driving times (car/small bike) from Wat Klong Son to let's say Krabi town, local markets, movie theater, beach. Roads good and not too dangerous? Is the area flat enough to do local shopping on foot or bicycle?

Has anyone some pointer to nice livable areas close to Wat Klong Son. Livable for me means mostly Thai families, lots of green and mountain, sea or open view.

I am still a few months from going there but lots of fun to find out information and good to have some idea where to look when we arrive.

Thanx for the info already provided. It is much appreciated.

Hi KJ,

20-30 minutes by car to the Big C, HomePro all your big outlets on 4 toward the airport. I think there is a cinema there too, not positive. I'd say same timeframe to Krabi Town.

Tons of liveable areas toward the beach Khlong Muang way, from there for sure can bicycle to Khlong Muang beaches or Nhapparat and the state park there which is really one of my favorite places. Picnic at the beach at the state park is an excellent way to spend the day. There are always Thai families picnicing at Nhapparat. When I'm there on business you'll see me running on the road there, sweaty middle-aged farang guy.

There once was a link to a rental company on the site here, but since the redo, I don't see it anymore.

Best of luck, GOM
