| Krabi destination guide |
Krabi is a small city, with no beaches of its own and so visitors
generally head straight to Ao Nang or Railay Beach. Krabi province covers a
large area including two national parks and has a multitude of natural
attractions and islands, lush forests, captivating coral reefs, caves and
waterfalls. Limestone karsts form tranquil islands, towering rocks of
limestone masked in green and outlined by the glittery white sand beaches.
Undersea attractions include snorkeling and scuba diving where you can
explore hidden caves, many used for nesting by swallows.
Hat Noppharat Thara-Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park.
Covering an area of 390 sq km, the park consists of limestone mountains
alongside white sandy beaches, stunning islands and coral reefs. Some of the
major attractions in the park include; Ao Nang, the beach center of
Krabi Town and Krabi's most developed beach, backed by a wide range of
accommodation including resorts, bungalows and guesthouses. It can get
crowded in the high season; Railay Beach can only be reached by boat.
The cape of Railay is surrounded by the Andaman Sea, lush jungle, and
twisted rock. It has plenty of activities for the adventurous amongst you,
especially if you enjoy rock climbing. It also allows those of you who just
want to chill out the perfect location to do just that. What can be better
than scaling an immense limestone face with a tropical jungle and the cobalt
blue ocean sparkling below?Tonsai Beach is a great place to hang out
or go climbing with a chilled out, hippy atmosphere; Fossil Shell Beach
is known as the shell graveyard with a thick layer of fossilized snail
shells from over 40 million years ago; Ko Phi Phi Don & Ko Phi Phi
Le have jagged rock cliffs and rolling hills enclosed by the ocean,
underneath which is a bank of coral reefs and exotic marine life. In Koh Phi
Phi Le you can see the Tham Viking, a large cave full of swallow's
nests and ancient paintings of Vikings' boats and Ao Maya is a beautiful
white sandy beach a great place to dive and snorkel.
