Phra Nang Inn, Krabi

Advantages: Beautiful scenery, good food
Disadvantages: Can be wet in the wet season

...meal. I don’t think that that many tourists stop by this market because a lot of the people seemed curious when we turned up there with our blond hair. People in Thailand are very friendly and I read in a book that children have a very important place in the Thai lifestyle. This time we traveled with a Tonje who is only 3 years old and we noticed how fond the Thai’s are when it comes to children. People kept asking hername, trying to hug and cuddle and so on.

There is also a massage area just next to Reception where we had a couple of good massages. The staff were very friendly. We stayed in a deluxe room which we thought was gorgeous. It was a very large room with a double bed, balcony, toilet with bath and a huge walk-in shower, air conditioning. We stayed at this hotel in December 2005 and would have returned... Read review
