 Krabi
Dive Sites Information
Strangely shaped limestone mountains and rock formations make
the provinces hinterland strikingly different
from the low-lying palm and rubber groves of the neighbouring
regions. Krabi's people too, are strikingly different with the
dominant religion of the region being Islam.
You'll notice that the men wear the white pillbox
hats and the women dark headscarves. In re cent
years because of the growing tourism industry there has been a
substantial influx of northeastern Buddhist workers as well as
the increasing number of tourists themselves
making Krabi a fantastically cosmopolitan destination.
With access to some of the best
diving destinations
in the region, Krabi's popularity as a resort and diving stop-over
has increased in leaps and bounds as a direct result of Phuket's
ever-increasing overcrowding, and is now rated as one
of the best regions in southern Thailand.
Ruggedly compact beach resorts such as Ao Nang
and Reilay offer the discerning diver and traveller (as well as
the diving backpacker) a variety of modern day conveniences, accommodation,
offshore islands and adventure activities.;
