Krabi In 4 Days


We reached Krabi  around 2:00 PM. Booked a shared van by paying 150 Baht. It will be wise to book  shared van as the cab will cost you 300 Baht. The van dropped us at our Hotel "Ban Sai Nai Resort". After a quick shower,we had our lunch near the beautiful swimming pool. Spend some time exploring the resort.Before the Dinner we talked with the front desk of the hotel and booked Phi Phi island tour.
