Well without sounding too biased our opinion of the perfect day in Krabi is to rent a scooter, and then go get lost!
Krabi is such a vast place and offers so many places to explore and things to do there is simply no end to the possibilities. Even after living in Krabi for almost 10 years now and exploring the many national parks and beautiful sights, it’s still hard to beat a simple ride through the countryside. To rent a scooter and then drive through the countryside it’s hard to not imaging that there are not dinosaurs lurking behind the massive palm leaves dangling from the tops of massive palm trees. The countryside has a certain Jurassic tropical feeling to it and is the perfect place to get lost and let your imagination run wild.
Going for a ride on a rented scooter for a day, a week or even a month never gets old no matter how far you travel. There is something primal and ancient about Krabi, it’s a sensation you cannot get elsewhere in the world and a feeling that white simply put never gets old.
Thailand is an internationally respected and recognized place for tasty and delicious food. There are no end of the variations of dishes you can find. That being said, a simple friend rice, green curry or a pad thai with shrimp are often all that are needed. One of the reasons that Thai food is so tasty and diverse is that Thai culture is organized around food, day and night. In fact when people greet each other they often ask ‘have you eaten already?’ With food such an intraday part to the culture it’s hard to find bad options. Thats why we love to rent a scooter and then go get lost, no matter how far you travel you’ll find a restaurant (or many) and they will serve you food that is to die for.
We’ve lived in Krabi for over 10 years now and we’re still discovering new places to see and things to do. There are hidden natural vistas that nobody (no tour operators) will take you to, there are local restaurants that you will not see any foreigners at. There are beaches untouched and empty just ready and waiting for you to pass by. We have given you directions to our favorite places to see and things to do to make your trip more colorful and interesting, but there is a lot we don’t know about. So no matter your passion or desire, you’ll certainly have a great day getting lost in the Krabi countryside.
Whether it’s form the scenery or the mystery, there is something always special about riding through the countryside of Krabi and exploring the many unnamed roads and dirt paths.
So what are you waiting for, go rent a scooter and get lost, see the beauty, taste the cuisine, smell the scents and have. Blast in the Krabi countryside after you rent a scooter.
