Post by: Bubba on September 01, 2003, 11:49:15 am: Yeah, you're right. I mean, at Krabi, after a day's climbing you can chill out at a beachside bar and watch the sun drop below the horizon out to sea. Sup a beer, buy some green from the bars and just chill. At Roche, you can go down some gnarly Maltby hell hole for a pint of bitter. No contest.
