Krabi Travel Forum

Thinking of venturing out to one of the islands while in Krabi next spring. Im travelling with my mother who deserves a much needed vacation and I want to take her somewhere very special. Koh Lanta has caught my eye and I can't decide between Layana and Pimalai. Help!
Any Koh Lanta tips welcome too or if there is a better island and fantastik resort I should be considering instead, let me know!

Each island has its own character and tastes vary. I stayed in Krabi in November with the rainy season lasting much longer than usual. I am glad that I did not STAY on an island, as I would have become pretty bored. If you stay in Ao Nang, you will get to any of the islands in less than an hour, but also have easy access to all amenities offered by a medium-sized town (shopping center, massage, cinema, restaurants plus organised day excursions to islands and on the mainland). Hotels are cheaper as well (competition...).
I never book in advance, Krabi airport has a good hotel booking service.
