Yes, samui was fantastic, Can some one tell more about krabi? never been there

here is my breif report from samui

------------------------------------------

I got an earlier flight to samui at Don manage airport, so decided not to wait for next 5 hours flight to krabi, actually this is how i end up going to samui

unfortunately had minor accident that had to bandage my arm and knee for 10 days from bike slipping in a rainy day, however I managed to finish my "open water" course (total 4 days) 4 boat dive at sail rock with first day 15-20 meters and second day unfortunately 10 meters visibility only, weather condition sucked for fun diving

I have been to phuket for total 4 months and i can say samui is nicer place for me to live.

Plenty of places from 800 Bhat to 500 Bhat a day, with auto motorcycle for 200 bhat a day down to 125 bhat/monthly. You need one to see this really large island with nearly 400k people living there, still can find plenty of quiet places to stay

There are many waterfalls and pointview restaurant at 500- 600 meters high to have your breakfast. I'll give Both green mango, reggae pub and super subfor their drink price (nam-som and nam-manaoo for 50 Bhat, cheapest in thailand you get), staff friendliness and it's atmosphere a big A++

Samui has also cutest airport i have ever seen, definitely a paradise to revisit again

Has anyone been to Krabi? well know for best in thailand for it's scenery and laid back lifestyle (much smaller nightlife compare to samui, may be has somthing to do with 40% local muslim thai), read it had 1.4 million visitors last year. They opened first airport this may only

I can see Krabi forum is very inactive, does that mean less farang are living there?

I really liked samui, and looking and my journey report you can say what are my intersts, i appreciate if someone can tell me if like krabi is really queit, small nightlife....btw i like going to

movies and starbucks.... are there any?

Krabi is a town, city, is a better word and if you haven't seen the picture from the area, you are really missing out. One beautiful area, with limestone mountains that will take your breath away. Much more scenic in MHO, than Samui. I was there for a couple of weeks and there's your starbucks and cinemas, all you need. I feel you should be in the Lonely Planet-Branches forum, more info for what you seek IMHO. I highly recommend taking at least 2-4 weeks there, if posable. Or go to krabi site and check the link on the top that says about Krabi, and you'll see the pictures people sent in and more. Have a good trip Dude, see you got the infamous Samui Tatoo!, everyone usually does.

What is infamous samui tatoo, never heard of it? I'm back home and missing samui, not sure wanna go to krabi, again anywhere in thailand is better than where i am now

What is infamous samui tatoo, never heard of it?

Either an exhaust burn from a motorbike rental, or road rash from a motorbike rental crash

Ok, hehe i got second one.

I remember side road for motor sai has too much sands, which has to be really awere of in rainy day, I don't remember same in phuket, may be this has to do with so much spread out construction going on in samui island
