What is Krui like ?

Looking for a full-on daytime shopping experience, a place to party or hang-out in funky cafés and restaurants? Then this is not really the destination for you: no air-conditioned shopping malls, no Mc Donalds, Starbucks, no fast food joints, night clubs, vegetarian / vegan cafés or gourmet coffee shops.

However if your expecting to find Bali as it was 40 years ago ... think again. Ninety six percent of the population are conservative Muslims and the vast majority do not rely on the tourist dollar.

What you can expect to find is a memorable DIY experience on the edge of the Indian Ocean.
