Is a real relaxing trip, island hoping, body massage, beer .. Beware if you are looking for shopping or city explore. This is not the place.
Tour taken:
Phi Phi - 1000 baht 1 pax ( Maya bay, Bamboo island, Viking cave, Phi Phi Don, Lohsamah bay, Monkey bay, Hin Klarng ) speed boat
4 island - 300 baht 1 pax ( Phra Nang Beach, Tub Island, Chicken Island, Poda Island ) yellow tail boat
Jungle + elephant - 1200 baht 1 pax ( Hot Spring waterfall, Emerald pool, Tiger Cave temple and elephant ) van
5000 baht for 2 persons. You could negotiate along the street. Lot of travel agencies that will arrange for these tours. If you have 5 or more, advisable to rent a boat yourself, then you could asked them to go for the famous island and make it 1 day trip rather than 2 days island hopping, haha. These tours should be booked and arranged on arrival day, of course think of what tour wanted 1st.
Could observed from photos above, stay in Ananta Burin hotel which is a bit luxury, half the budget gone here, booked in agoda.com ~RM1k. If you are not a swimming fancy or user, then there is actually more options rather than this luxury hotel. The only drawback was they were fixing "something" and cut off the electricity without earlier notice. Left us wandering in summer with no fan nor air-con after returning from walking along the street.
Advise to walk down the street and can take tuk-tuk back when tired. More worthy than taking tuk-tuk to the end and start walking back. ( more energy when started to walk, haha .. ) You could settle your dinner along the street as well, lot of good food, personally recommend BBQ stick ( 20 baht ), pancake ( 25 baht ), fruit shake ( banana, look for yellow banana and not half-mature green one, yucks - 20 baht ), tom yam ( 60 baht ), pad thai ( 40 baht ), fruit (50 baht ) and beer (120 baht ) also good to be packed back to hotel to enjoy. :)
There goes day 1, transfer from airport ( 300 baht ), check-in, walk along Ao-nang street, take photos, look for tour. Oh, purchasing "dry bag" is important to "safe-guard" your valuble from getting wet. mine was ~400 baht, medium size.
Day 1 total: 6615 baht
Day 2, 3 and 4 nothing much, just traveling on tours as scheduled. Dinner around Ao-nang town and massage then beer and back to hotel except day 4 night in Krabi town for night market, souvenir and dinner. Nice scenary though, must at least take 1 tour on island. ( you choose it )
Day 2 total: 6615 baht
Day 3 total: 1253 baht
Day 4 total: 2229 baht
Day 5 total: 472 baht
Nice food in Krabi town tour, nothing much but advisable to go for night market, else nothing to visit. Spent 600 baht, 2 pax ( too luxury ) Vios fetching 2 couples there only. You could check with front desk for bus to Krabi town but will have to walk a bit. Pork rice is good, 50 baht, must try.
Don't spend your money in "look-good" restaurant, personal feel that road side food much better than what you could get. They tuned the flavour to accommodate most of the travelers. Imagine eating tom yam in US or Australia. ( sweet and sour ) not good ... Thong is cheap there, 2 for 120 baht, much cheaper than Malaysia.
