Krabi

If the south be the crown of Thailand’s stunning coastal regions, then Krabi is surely one of the most sparkling of jewels within that crown.

Situated on the Andaman seaboard, it has some of the finest and most beautiful beaches in the Kingdom.

Almost virgin stretches of alluring soft sands welcome the visitor and the spectacular waters invite moments of blissful swimming, snorkelling and other marine pleasures.

Krabi is also known for its historical significance. Stone tools, ancient drawings, pottery and skeletal remains found in the region have been dated back tens of thousands of years. To describe Krabi as a fantastic place to relax and enjoy a pleasing tropical climate is an understatement. The pace of life here is unhurried and some beaches can be reached only by boat, a notion which lends itself to that unmistakable island getaway atmosphere.

The area is growing in recognition as a resort destination offering a less developed alternative to bustling Phuket. A range of accommodation is available, much of it in the main centre of Ao Nang, where there is as well a selection of restaurants and shops. There is also stunning national park land to explore, with the presence of Hat Noppharat Thara-Ko Phi Phi National Park.

And for those looking for a touch of adventure to add to their ‘fun in the sun’, Krabi certainly delivers: kayaking, sailing, rock climbing, trekking, cave exploration and island hopping are on the list of activities here.
