Real Life Captured #30: Krabi Town Thailand! Part Two (17 photos)
My steemit friends. Come along and let's explore Krabi Town together. Get a feel for what it's like to be here and what real life for the locals looks like. Krabi Town is one of my favorite places in Thailand. They have street food galore! Great curries and great markets too.
Want a fresh Thai Young Coconut? Only 60 cents here. Where in more touristy parts of the country they often charge around two dollars. Krabi is so affordable because it's a small city full of local Thais living there every day lives. So everything is priced normal Thai prices.
Living in a place with "normal" Thai prices compared to "tourist" prices will leave you and your wallet very happy. Quite frankly you'll feel rich and be amazed at how far your money goes. Now let's have another look at everyday life here in Krabi Town Thailand!

great photography as always.
Thank you so much!
Waooo I like your photography and Thailand people very much
Awesome. Thank you! Hope to see here again soon!
While the touristy beaches bored me at some point, the local life in the cities actually was the most interesting part of Southern Thailand to me, thanks for bringing back some memories!
I couldn't help but notice the Krungsri ATM, I remember being shocked about the ATMs in Thailand charging me a fee of 200 Baht for every withdrawal which is a lot when you can get 10 coconuts for the same price! :D
yeah, I had a stratedgy to take out 400 USD worht of baht whenever I needed cash. Also charge things on my debit card when possible (no fee transaction) Some countries that's just how it goes. Now if you had an account and card with Krugsri I think the fee drops down to like 20 baht. I used to have Bangkok Bank account. You can open one on a tourist visa. Bring traveler checks up to 10G into the country and deposit it there. That's what I did, when I biked 2000kl around southeast asia for a year. Agree with you totally, The life of a town or city can be way more interesting they staring off into the sea hour after hour. But I find pleasure in both! Happy new year my friend!
I also carried quite a lot of money and paid with my card to avoid the high fees. I have a credit card from a German bank that does not charge me any foreign transaction fees and in almost every country I am able to use any ATM free of charge; Opening a local bank account seems like a great option for a longer stay.
You did a bike trip for a year around South East Asia? This sounds like an amazing experience. I have done some smaller trips for up to two weeks in Australia, but nothing compared to your trip.
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year too my friend. Cool to see how much we have in common. Yes that trip went on through 6 countries and about 14 months! One of the best years of my life!
