Krabi Hi All - a few short but sweet updates to let anyone who actually bothers to still check this site or remember who the hell I am how I have got on in Southern Thailand! Krabi was a beautiful place and the difference between North and South is quite amazing, the first thing you notice is that the smog that constantly hangs in the air in the North was thankfully absent and secondly the cool back packers have turned into white holiday makers!
