ORIGINAL POSTER

I will be retiring to Krabi in July. Can anyone recommend an area in Krabi where I can live close enough to access to street food but still have a place that feels like I am living immersed in nature.  

Ps. If this is not the appropriate forum for this question. Can you please recommend a group where this question  would be relevant. Thanks again. 😊

Street food and immersed in nature don't exactly go hand in hand ,sounds more like Instagram Vs reality

Most will suggest you visit Thailand 2 times for 3 weeks each ….then you can find out where you want to live and would have the answer to your question …
