One-Day Trip in Krabi

By Piyanoot Rattananukool

A one-day trip away from the major city is worth trying for your long stay in Phuket, the world-famous vibrant tourist island in Southern Thailand. Krabi, on the other hand, is a peaceful town nearby, only a 90-minute drive from Phuket.

Another option, if you feel impressed and want to stay in Krabi, Anyavee Resort is highly recommended. It is a place on Tubkaek Beach where I've ever stayed, and I really enjoyed its seaside tranquility and great oceanic views.
