Krabi

From a message of the Krabi Seaview Resort: There is no such big damage in Ao Nang as in Phuket. The wave just hit the beachroads and the cleaning and repairs are already under way. They will of course take a couple of days, but there is in our opinion no reason to cancel any planned visit to Ao Nang/Krabi.
