The view in Krabi and the beaches with islands are known for their scenic beauty. Coral reef vistas are also one of the prettiest, which makes it a good spot for coral diving. With attractions that include hot springs, a wildlife sanctuary, sea caves, coral reefs with exotic marine life, limestone cliffs drawing rock-climbing enthusiasts from around the world, and national parks that include the island paradises of Koh Phi Phi and Koh Lanta, one could easily spend weeks here and leave yearning for more.
If that wasn’t enough, Krabi features some of the most photogenic sunsets in Thailand, often accompanied by spectacular displays of cloud-to-cloud lightning, that are best enjoyed from a beachside bar or restaurant. What most visitors would call “town” is Ao Nang, a seaside strip of guesthouses, hotels, bars, restaurants, and souvenir shops that continues to grow as tourist arrivals increase, now spreading north into Noppharat Thara, whose quiet, shady beach is part of the national park that includes the Phi Phi Islands.
Ao Nang is the main launching point for boat trips to nearby islands and the deserted beaches of Phra Nang Cape, the site of the once-popular hippie hangout of Railey Beach. Krabi also provides you with the most excellent shopping, like Maharaj Walking Street and Chao Fah Pier Night Market. Are you ready to embark on your journey? Let’s make memories with Ride and Raft!
