Ao Nang Beach, Krabi
The epi-centre of tourist activity/ madness. An assortment of near-identical shops selling Thai-themed tank tops/ T-shirts (Chang beer tank, any one?), counterfeit fashion, restaurants (Thai, Western, Italian, Kebabs, Indian), tours, you get the idea. There is also a Burger King,…
West Railay, Krabi
This is quite a pretty beach. There are chic resorts here.
Boat to Railay, Krabi

Foreign Correspondents’ Club, Phnom Penh
Venerated mainstay along Sisowath Quay. Consists of a bar/ restaurant and a hotel. Brutally frank: Venerated? More like overated. The décor is not particularly pretty nor does it exude old-world charm, despite being a historic address. The staff can’t really…
