We went to Krabi to attend a wedding and agreed to go after several wines! When we sobered up we looked into what we had signed up for!
The wedding was at The Tubkaak Boutique Resort in Krabi. When we looked into prices, this was highly priced and they didn't bother to reply to my email. Trailfinders came up trumps and suggested the Sheraton and we were so glad we went with them.
The Sheraton is fantastic. It is quite big but the way the rooms are laid out means that you still have the feeling of a smaller hotel.
The pools were great - the largest pool allows you lots of room to swim without bumping into other people.
Meeting Rara the elephant was just fantastic. You have no idea how moving it is for an elephant to take you by the wrist and lead you on a walk! The elephant population in Thailand were threatened when tree logging was made illegal. Now Elephants will take you on a safari. However, the Sheraton adopted an orphan elephant and foot the huge bills for her food and keep and she is just lovely.
The Sheraton is near to local restaurants and shops. We went to a couple of restaurants and they were both good.
Coming out of the hotel and turning right, walking along the road about 500 metres there is a group of shops and restaurants on your right. The restaurants are great. On the left hand side, down the bottom is an artist - Wichean Ruanngam - who is just fantastic. You can buy an original painting for around £40. He will roll it up for you to take home. This is a great souvenir of Krabi. Our picture is now in our dining room.
The staff at the Sheraton were so helpful and friendly, they really helped to make our stay so enjoyable - nothing was too much trouble.
I have to add, the wedding at The Tubkaak Boutique Resort was great - they could not have done more to make this a memorable occasion. But it is a very different hotel to the Sheraton and I would prefer to stay at the Sheraton every time.
