Some hotels even offer to cook the catch free.

Golf

A round of golf here costs 1,200 baht, including equipment rental, caddy and green fees. Golf package tours are on offer with a few other attractions thrown in. Phuket, which is a two-hour drive from Krabi, has better golf courses, confirming to international standards.
