I don't know why I'm telling everyone about this idyllic location because it's presently the 8th wonder of the world and could be spoilt. However, Krabi, or more specifically, Rai Lay Beach is what dreams are made of! This is a place which can only be reached by longtail boat from Krabi Town or if arriving from Phi Phi via boat from Ao Nang. The accomodation can either be at top end (Dusit Rayavadee Resort), Mid-range (Langka Deng - but no walk-ins) or budget end (various bungalow options). All are within 5 mins. from the beach as you can walk from one side of the island to the other, at this point, in about 10 mins.. There are various bars and restaurants with their feet in the sand. The sea is crystal clear and you can take a longtail boat, very cheaply, to various outlying islands with Chicken Island definately worth a visit, though there is just a woman selling beer, rolls, coconut milk and very little else with limited shade in a blistering heat. The bay around the corner from Rai Lay (Phra Nang Beach) is lisited as one of the top ten beaches in the world! I prefer Rai Lay or Chicken Island myself but frankly it's all Heaven! Incidentally, I visited Krabi with 2 children under 10 and they are hassling me to go back!
