Krabi Holidays
Just one hour south from Bangkok, Krabi is home to dramatic limestone cliffs, glorious palm-fringed beaches and shallow, crystal clear waters.
Over 200 islands and caves are waiting to be explored, with the jungle teeming with wildlife and the famous “Klong Thom Hot Springs” ready for a memorable dip. For those interested in a dose of genuine Thai culture and hospitality, we recommend spending an afternoon in Krabi town, bursting with restaurants, shops and guest houses. For sun worshippers, be sure to visit Railay beach; accessible only by boat and boasting paradise views and adrenaline-fuelled activities.
For a mix of culture and beach, extend your adventure with a stay in Chiang Mai before heading to Krabi, or spend a few days in Koh Lanta for some laidback relaxation.

Krabi is a perfect destination for those who love beaches and fun outdoor activities – a haven for nature lovers and those looking to get away from it all. Railay Beach is a beautiful and popular place to visit. Set on a small peninsula between Krabi Town and Ao Nang, it is only accessible by boat. It is especially worth a visit if you are interested in rock climbing. Take to the water in a canoe and discover some of the 200 tiny islands to be found off the shore of this spectacular coastline. There are hiking trails to take you high into the hills where the vistas are stunning. Nightlife here is low key and relaxed, reflecting the easy-going southern beach culture, although some bars will put on fire shows or live music in the peak season.

“Make sure you get out on a boat trip around neighbouring uninhabited islands, there are over 200 of them – otherwise, you're not making the most of your stay in the Krabi area.”
