Are you wanting to go exploring around Krabi or further afield?

Advice
1. read this:

http://www.thailandguidebook.com/dos-and-donts-of-thailand.html

2. Phuket is crap

3. If you are going to get pissed make sure you have at least one sober mate to look after you.

4. Don't smoke anything illegal. If you obey the laws you won't get into trouble but, if you break them, there are lots of people waiting to pounce.

5. Except when you are at beach resorts, wear jeans or cargo pants and a shirt that covers your shoulders. If you don't look respectable to the locals, they probably won't treat you with much respect. Thailand is super appearance conscious.
