In any case, do enjoy Krabi and the area, pls read my earlier Krabi entries here (with the kids, including Nuraina herself):

Nothing much in Krabi Town itself, so focus your stay on other (seaside) spots. Island-hopping is a must. All the best with the drive. Very decent roads up there, just watch out for local traffic.

I am from Malaysia as well.
As our group will be visiting Krabi this coming school holiday (June 2009 ), your blog gives quite a good picture what to be expected there. I personally would like to thank you for your effort. Nice pictures with crisp side notation.

By the way our group will stage a car convoy to Krabi consisted of 26 cars. We are from Malaysian Estima Owners Group or MEOG. Membership is free and this group is open for any car owners as well. If you have any other important message that you would like us to take note, please drop me an email michanis-at-yahoo.com

Thank you and I wish you the best.

Regards,
Misa
