2. Enjoying
Sunset Over Noppharat Thara, Ao Nang or Ao Pai Beach.
Krabi has a row of beautiful and popular
beaches ranging from Noppharat Thara, Ao Nang and Ao Pai Beach because it has a
very nice wide beach with very soft sand, perfect waters for swimming and
wonderful sunset views. During low tide this beach offers a lot of fun for
children. Because it's so shallow there is plenty to do especially for local
people with their activity, it’s probably 2 kilometer and even stretches around
2 islands. In my opinion this beach is lovely shady areas
for family and shallow water for kids. The low tide pushes the sea way inside
and it is a long walk to even get our feet wet while the high tide brings the
water right next to the walkway. This place is good for people watching while
enjoy the sunset. Watch our travel video here

DeletePhuket is in the Muslim part of Thailand, so no problem to find Halal food. All cities and beaches have their restaurants where you can get Halal food. A thing that is really recommendable to go and see in Phuket is Phang Nga Bay. It is a bay filled with rocky Islands. You can organize trips at any travel agency in Phuket.
