Our honeymoon trip to Thailand

Enroute to Krabi

We're just in the airport, on our way to Krabi after a lovely seven days in Ko Samui.

Koh Samui seemed pretty safe to me; security threats revolved around the usual con-artists, gem scams and time-share touts (none of which pose a threat of violence). My wife felt uncomfortable alone at night as a result of the tragic case of the British backpacker, but my view is that this was a highly atypical event. Koh Samui is probably still safer (from a statistical point of view) than most holiday destinations.

Did you guys feel pretty safe while at Koh Samui? I've heard some pretty mixed reviews about it, especially considering the high profile case of the British backpacker a few days back. Have a good rest of the trip!

Dramatic landscape

First impression of Krabi province -- it's very different from Koh Samui. The landscape, both land and sea, is dominated by huge (100m +) karsts, or columns of white limestone, rising from the plantations of pineapple, palm oil and rubber plants. Covered with vines and tropical foliage, the effect is breath-taking.

Tanta's is a large, open restaurant on the main road through Ao Nang beach, just near the point where the road turns away from the beach.  It offers a very wide ranging menu, including Thai dishes, barbequed meats, international dishes, pizza and burgers. We had the pizzas, which were generously sized (32cm) thin-crust types. The pizzas were competently done but not remarkable -- I suspect the same is true of the rest of the the dishes. However, prices are modest (700Bht for two pizzas plus chicken satay sticks and drinks) and service is quick.
