He said visit the Tiger Temple which is at the top of some mountain and has great views across the area, steep walk up a mountain. Take a boat ride out to the two rocks next to each other (cant remember the name of them) but are supposed to be the symbol of Krabi. THere are two really good markets for cheap and lovely food, one near the piers and in the centre of Krabi town.
He said beautiful place, friendly locals and quite cheap. Perfect place to take a bird.
