Thailand can be many things to many people. Bangkok, for example, is a world of excitement and access to all things elicit for those looking for some red light action and nightlife. Head out of Bangkok and south towards the beautiful coastline and Thailand becomes a tropical paradise unparalleled in beauty to any other place on earth. After spending some time in Thailand I can say unequivocally that it is the most beautiful place that I've ever traveled to, and I've done my share of traveling.
Krabi is a town on the west coast of southern Thailand at the mouth of the Krabi River where it empties in Phangnga Bay. As of 2005 the town had a population of 24,986 people. The town is the capital of Krabi Province and Krabi district. You'll find many beautiful, secluded resorts in the Krabi province including the Ritz-Carlton Reserve, Sofitel Krabi, and the Sheraton Krabi Beach Resort to name a few. Recently I had the pleasure of traveling to Thailand and staying at the Sheraton Krabi for 10 days and absolutely fell head over heels in love with it.
The Sheraton far exceeded my expectations. The property is clean, beautifully landscaped and meticulously well kept. It is one of the top rated hotels on Tripadvisor for the Krabi region, which I think sums it all up. From the hotel location in Krabi I ventured daily by boat to the surrounding islands like Hong island, Four island, and Phi Phi islands. The snorkeling in Thailand is the best I've seen, having snorkeled in most of the Caribbean islands, Mexico, and South East Asia Thailand stands out. The islands off the coast of Krabi are the epitome of tropical paradise. There were also a few nameless (to me anyway) islands that we stopped and explored on the way that would give many of the Caribbean islands a run for their money.
