Southern Thailand has some of the most beautiful islands made of limestone cliffs floating along crystal blue waters. Most tourists who come down here often aim to set off to the other islands and use Krabi or Aonang as a one or two night stop over. At first glance, there might not seem to be much to do around the towns itself and most tourists go on tours that take them far out of the town.
The tours are definitely worth doing, on my first day in the area, I did the 4 islands boat tour which set me back 1000 baht (equivalent of 50AUD or 30USD). While not expensive compared to Australian prices, I realised for my backpacker budget, finding very cheap travel activities would be important for a year of travel.
I stayed a total of 7 nights around Krabi town and nearby Aonang beach and I can say there is a lot to offer without the need to splurge on expensive tours.
